Poules to finals,
without the scoresheets.
Run a club competition the way the salle does — pools into a direct-elimination tableau, with seeding, automatic byes and every touch logged. The bracket settles itself; you coach the strip. Optional touch-start handicaps keep every bout close, whatever the gap in standard.

A competition day, en garde to last touch
Poules
Pool everyone, run the rounds and let bout-by-bout results settle the seedings — no manual tally sheets.
Tableau
Drop seeds straight into a direct-elimination tableau. Byes are placed automatically; nobody draws a blank.
Finals
Each touch decision moves the tableau on, live — so the room always knows who fences next, and for what.
The tableau that fills itself in
Seed manually, at random or straight from pool finishes. We place the byes, draw the bracket and advance every winner the moment a result is approved — semi to final, all the way to gold.
Seed your way
Manual, random or by pool group — set the strength of the draw before the first bout.
Automatic byes
Odd numbers are handled for you, placed so seeded fencers get the rest they've earned.
Live tableau
Every approved touch advances the bracket — coaches and parents follow it from their seats.
Keep the squad fencing between competitions
Give every fencer a rung and a reason to book the next bout. Challenge up the ladder, win, and take the higher place — ideal for junior development squads and ongoing salle rankings.
You set how far anyone can reach and what happens to an ignored challenge; fencers heading off to camp or exams can freeze their spot until they're back on piste.
One evening, the whole salle
An americano evening puts every fencer in on their own: short rotating bouts until everyone has met everyone, with the points staying on the individual. A clean, sociable way to mix squads and weapons without seeding a full competition.
Open-strip nights, organised
Run the weekly open session as a meet: fencers RSVP to the dates they can make, the waitlist promotes itself when someone drops out, and evenly matched bouts are put together on the night from whoever is in the salle.
Results are recorded like any other bout, so the session still feeds every fencer's record.
Every fencer's record, session to session
Each bout feeds live leaderboards — recent form, win rates, activity and all-time records for the whole club. Spot who's peaking before a tournament and who needs more time on the strip.
It's the picture coaches keep in their heads, kept for them instead — and shared with fencers and parents so progress is never a mystery.
Épée, foil and sabre — scored your way
Épée
Whole-body target, single-light bouts — track touches and the toughest of margins.
Foil
Right-of-way and torso target; configure scoring to match how your salle judges priority.
Sabre
Fast, decisive passes — log results in seconds between bouts and keep the strip moving.
Fencing handicaps — a touches start
Each side carries a handicap in touches. The weaker side starts each bout with the difference already on the board.
- Only the difference counts.
- The recorded score includes the touches given.
Auto-adjust moves the winner's handicap down and the loser's up by whole touches after each approved result.
Available in box leagues, ladders, tournaments and americano leagues. Members see the start before they play, and the app scores each game from it.
Made for the salle, not the spreadsheet
Tap Leagues is free fencing competition software and a fencing app for iOS and Android. Built for clubs and academies, it runs direct-elimination brackets with seeding and automatic byes, academy ladders, americano nights, RSVP club meets and live rankings across épée, foil and sabre — so a club open, a squad ladder or a school championship organises itself, with no tally sheets and no chasing results.
Call the next bout — we've got the bracket.
Set up your fencing competition in minutes, share one link, and let every touch keep the tableau honest.
