Run Perfect Karate
Tournaments Every Time

A tatami is a competition mat. If your event runs on several mats at once, create one tatami per mat so matches can run in parallel.

In Manage Tatamis, type how many mats you have and tap Generate Tatamis. They appear as "Tatami No. 1", "Tatami No. 2", and so on. You can delete any you don't need.

Settings → Categories comes prefilled with sensible age, weight and belt-group divisions, so you can shuffle immediately with nothing to configure.

• KATA belts — Novice (White, Yellow, Orange) · Intermediate (Green, Blue, Purple) · Advanced (Brown, Black). Boys and Girls separate.
• KUMITE belts — Below Brown Belt · Brown Belt and Above.
• Ages — e.g. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11–12, 13–14, 15–16, and 17–18 open (same ages for kata & kumite).
• Weight = groups (ranges), not one category per kg. Example: Boy −35 / −45 / +45 means three groups: Under 35, 35–45, Over 45 for that age.

Need something different for your event? Every category here is fully editable — rename, resize, add or remove age bands, weight bands and belt groups.

In Settings → Kumite:

• Match duration — e.g. 120 seconds.
• Fouls — C1/C2/C3, HC, H, S pre-loaded — add, edit or deactivate any of them.
• Age and weight groups come from the Categories tab (Step 4) — each weight line is a range for that age, and boy/girl cuts can differ.

Younger ages (e.g. 6Y) can be belt-only with open weight. Open kumite for 17–18 can use a single open weight group.

This is where most events are won or lost on time. Open the Student Roster. You have a few ways to add athletes:

• Add Student — type one athlete at a time (fine for small clubs).
• Template — download the ready-made Excel sheet (or grab our filled sample roster to try the app first).
• Import — upload your filled Excel sheet to add everyone at once.
• Scan — photograph a paper sign-up sheet and review the students it reads before adding them.
• Renumber — re-assign chest numbers neatly (1, 2, 3…) after edits.

For each student you set Name, Age, Belt, Weight, Team and whether they're in Kata, Kumite, or both. Search by name or chest number, filter by weight, team, belt, and gender. Printed rosters are sorted by chest number for easy check-in.

Finally, open Tournament Tools and tap Print All Chest Nos. This generates full-size, anonymous chest numbers for every athlete to wear during matches.

That's it — your tournament is fully set up. On the day, each co-admin logs in on their phone, opens their tatami, and scores matches live. A match not going ahead (injury, no-show) can be cancelled from its bracket card instead of deleted — it greys out and can be reactivated any time. Choose Girls-first, Boys-first, or alternating pool order from Live Matches, and viewers see the exact same order. The medal tally and leaderboards update in real time. 🥋

To see a tournament's live results and brackets, you unlock it with a Tournament Key. One key unlocks one tournament for lifetime access — pay once, watch forever, including after the event ends.

Check your balance in My Wallet. To buy a key, go to Recharge Wallet and tap ₹50 — each recharge adds 1 key, and you can recharge multiple times to stock up. Tapping Open on a tournament uses one key to unlock it.

Once unlocked, the tournament moves to your Unlocked tab. Open it to follow everything in real time:

• Live match scores as each kumite and kata bout is judged.
• Brackets showing who fights whom and who advances.
• Medal tally & club leaderboard updating the instant a result is saved — no refresh needed.

You can follow from anywhere — the stands, home, or another city. Access is lifetime, so the results stay available long after the event finishes.
