The karate scoreboard made for kumite.

Keep AKA and AO on a phone, show the bout on every screen by the area, and put the tournament on your stream — from one app.

A flip board has no place for senshu.

Karate tournaments run in sports halls with several areas going at once, each with a stopwatch and a flip board that has room for points and nothing else. Senshu and warnings live in the table's memory. Coaches in the chair and parents in the stands are left guessing.

How karate is scored in WR Score.

A kumite bout is three minutes, the clock counting down, and it ends when the clock runs out.

On the Scoreboard, AKA and AO each have a score key for one, two or three points, and a minus to take a point back. Each side has a senshu key and a warnings key that counts through C1, C2, C3, HC and H. A Bout key moves on to the next bout. You start and stop the clock on the board, and the corrections beside it move it by hand.

The board shows AKA's score and senshu, the bout clock and the bout, then AO's score and senshu. Under each side sit its warnings.

After the bout, print the result sheet, or a blank scoresheet for an area that keeps score on paper.

Your sponsor

On every screen by the area.

Hall screens put each area's bout on a TV beside the tatami or an LED wall above the hall, in your club's colours. It fits any screen and shows both scores, senshu and the clock. Between bouts it shows your sponsors, with a log of every airing. If the link from a table drops, the last score stays, marked held. The screen is never blank.

On the stream.

A kumite scorebug with AKA and AO, senshu, warnings and the clock. Player cards, and tournament graphics as the brackets fill up. Ready for OBS, vMix and CasparCG, or streamed from WR Score to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch or any platform over RTMP or SRT.

Most karate clubs are full of children. Where they cannot be filmed, go on air with commentary alone, or with the live scoreboard as the picture.

Run the tournament, area by area.

Keep clubs, competitors and referees in one place. Draw each category into a bracket, and the bracket moves each winner on by itself. For a club league, the table works itself out from the final scores with your league's points and tie-breaks. The day by area shows every bout and marks an area booked twice.

When a category is decided, Posts makes a picture of the result in your tournament's look, in four social sizes, saved for you to post.

Time back, more to offer.

Karate clubs run on instructors who teach class after class and parents who staff the tables on competition days. WR Score takes the stopwatch and the results spreadsheet off them. What they get back is a day that looks as good as the karate: the score where families can see it, a stream for grandparents, and a screen for sponsors.

The camera.

The camera reads basketball boards today. For the other 49 sports, WR Score keeps the score by hand, and OCR — a camera reads the scoreboard your hall already has — comes sport by sport as we record each sport's boards.

Questions.

Yes. Each side has a senshu key, and senshu sits next to the score on the board.
