Run your tournament, not spreadsheets.
From a club cup to a regional open: online registration, automatic brackets, weigh-in, mats running in parallel, a live scoreboard and published results — at a price that works for small events.
What usually slows a tournament down — and what replaces it
- Entries by e-mail and spreadsheets → one online registration form with category checks
- Hand-drawn brackets → automatic, seeded brackets that recompute after the weigh-in
- Paper scoresheets → live scoreboards per mat with results sent straight to the bracket
- Waiting for the results → live public pages and medal tables updated after every bout
- No Wi-Fi in the hall → offline-first scoring that syncs later
Everything on one screen
Online entries and licences
Clubs and national teams enter athletes online; age, category and licence rules are checked automatically, duplicates are caught before they are created.
Weigh-in desk
QR badges, tolerances, second weigh-ins and automatic category moves; out-of-class athletes are listed before the draw.
Draws and brackets
Single elimination, repechage, round robin, two groups, play-offs and tie-breaks; seeding from rankings and club or country separation.
Live scoring per area
Operator panels for each mat, ring or dohyō with the sport’s own scoring rules and clock.
Mat-side TV and public live pages
Big-screen scoreboards next to the area and live brackets on the event page for spectators at home.
Broadcast overlays
OBS overlays for brackets, scores and lower thirds; YouTube chapters with a link to every bout.
Streaming from a phone
Go live on YouTube in one tap with the overlays already on — no laptop or encoder.
Works offline
The competition keeps running when the hall loses the network.
Affordable for small tournaments
A one-day club or regional tournament pays a low fixed price per event — no fee per competitor and no commission on your entry fees. Larger series and federations move to an annual plan.
Software for every combat sport
One core for registration, weigh-in, draws and results; the scoreboard follows the rules of each sport.

FAQ
What is the best software to organise a martial arts tournament?
Look for one system that covers online registration, weigh-in, automatic brackets, live scoring per mat, public results and offline operation, and that charges a fixed price rather than a fee per athlete. Martial Cup covers all of it and adapts to the rules of your sport.
How do I create brackets for a combat-sport tournament?
Athletes are drawn automatically once the weigh-in closes: the system picks single elimination, repechage or round robin by category size and your rules, separates clubs, seeds by ranking and prints the draw sheets.
Do you charge a fee per competitor or per registration?
No. Many tournament platforms charge every athlete a booking fee or take a percentage of entry fees. Martial Cup does not: federations pay a fixed annual plan, organisers a fixed price per event, clubs a flat subscription. Entry fees stay with you.
Is there an affordable option for a small local tournament?
Yes. A one-day club or regional tournament can run on a low per-event price with registration, weigh-in, brackets, live results and printouts included. You do not need a federation contract to start.
Does it work without internet in the venue?
Yes. Weigh-in, draws, live results, reports and status changes keep working offline on the devices already open; everything syncs when the connection returns. Sports halls rarely have reliable Wi-Fi, so this was designed in from the start.
Can you add a feature we need?
Yes — features on demand are part of the offer. If your federation needs a ranking formula, a selection report, a new scoring rule or an export to your ministry, we build it into the platform, usually within weeks. Because every sport shares one core, a feature built for you also gets maintained and tested with every release.
