Are paper score sheets costing you time and nerves?

  • 01

    Collecting judge sheets and tallying by calculator means a long wait before rankings are final.

  • 02

    Manual math carries a constant risk of transcription and calculation errors.

  • 03

    Scoring standards vary from judge to judge, leaving doubts about fairness.

  • 04

    Storing and sharing records after the event stays paper-bound and tedious.

Budo Scoring System — what it solves.

  • Tablet score entry

    Each judge enters scores directly on a tablet — no sheets to collect and no re-keying.

  • Automatic tally & ranking

    Tallies automatically by your rules — dropping high/low scores, weighted averages — and finalizes rankings instantly.

  • Real-time display

    Show scores and rankings on the venue monitor in real time, for an event that engages both audience and competitors.

  • Unified scoring standards

    Standardize criteria and point allocations in the system to reduce variation between judges.

  • Automatic record keeping

    Every match's scoring data is saved automatically — useful for comparing past events and tracking athletes' progress.

    The information you need lands on one screen, so no one runs around to check things.

    Work that lived in one person's head is replaced by a repeatable system.

Common questions before you start.

How long does it take to get started?
From an initial assessment through setup and a trial, most sites go live in a few weeks to a few months depending on scale. You can begin with a small scope first.
Will our current tools and Excel go to waste?
No. Our approach extends your existing workflow and data rather than replacing them overnight — you can migrate gradually as an add-on.
Can it be customized to our operations?
Yes. We build on standard features and adjust or extend them to fit your workflow and document formats.
Is there ongoing support?
We support your operation continuously after launch, keeping pace with regulatory changes and shifts in your work through ongoing improvement.
