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.

The format

A competition day, en garde to last touch

I

Poules

Pool everyone, run the rounds and let bout-by-bout results settle the seedings — no manual tally sheets.

II

Tableau

Drop seeds straight into a direct-elimination tableau. Byes are placed automatically; nobody draws a blank.

III

Finals

Each touch decision moves the tableau on, live — so the room always knows who fences next, and for what.

Direct elimination

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.

Academy ladders

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.

Americano nights

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.

Club meets

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.

Progress & rankings

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.

Three weapons, one app

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.

Handicaps

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.
