## What is Poule Referee?

Poule Referee is the phone the referee scores from.

Connect to a piste with the six-digit code the organiser issues, or scan the QR on the
poule sheet, and referee the bout: touches, cards, priority, the clock and the passivity
timer. The result goes straight to the competition, and the poule sheet updates for
everyone watching it.

WHAT IT DOES
• Scores poule bouts and knockout matches, with the target score and timing the
  competition sets
• A full bout clock: periods, the rest between them, sudden death and the priority draw
• Cards, and a touch-by-touch timeline of the bout as it happens
• Works without a signal — results wait on the phone and go up when the network returns
• A standalone timer for training and local events, with no competition and no fencers

WHAT YOU NEED
A six-digit code from the organiser of a competition running on poule.esgrima.pt. The app
cannot create a competition and cannot issue a code. The standalone timer needs neither.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
No account, no sign-up, no advertising, and nothing about you is collected. The code is
all the app ever knows about who is holding the phone.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-14

- deep link

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-11

MEDICAL STOP
One key grants the five minutes. The bout halts, the display counts the treatment down,
and the bout clock keeps whatever was left to fence. Three buzzes when the time is up,
and nothing else happens on its own.

THE CLOCK MOVED TO THE BOTTOM
The score panel is now at the top and the clock underneath it, so the panel you tap on
every touch falls where your thumb already is. The standalone timer changed with it.

SWAP SIDES
A key on the score panel swaps the two columns, and the app remembers your choice for
every bout after that. Only the screen changes. The result you submit does not.

FIND A BOUT BY NAME
Type a fencer's name over the bout list. A second field appears for the opponent, so a
pair of fencers goes straight to the one line where they meet.

ALSO
• Sabre no longer counts passivity
• A 42-fencer grid opens without the screen hanging when you switch tabs

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-31

Team matches. Connect the same way and referee the nine legs, each with its own
target score, and the match score running across them.

• Declare a substitution, with the reserve and the single second substitution the
  rules allow
• Undo a card given by mistake: press and hold it
• The passivity minute now counts from the last touch, following the FIE rules of
  August 2026
• The ? sheet tells you which version and which bundle are running

### 1.0 — 2026-08-25

No release notes.
