## What is Skewered Fencing?

Skewered Fencing is the companion app for your Skewered Fencing scoring box: a live repeater for every strip, a video recorder that captures your bouts for later review, a Bluetooth remote — and the companion for Skewered Fencing video replay systems.

WATCH — a live repeater, no setup
The app listens over Bluetooth for nearby scoring boxes and mirrors them in real time — no pairing, no cables:
• Live weapon lights — valid and non-valid touches for foil, épée, and sabre
• Score, match clock, period, and break timers
• Priority and passivity (P-card) timers
• Yellow, red, and penalty cards; short-circuit and fault indicators
• Watch several boxes at once, labeled by strip and color-coded
• Tap any box for a full-screen view of one bout; flip its sides to match where you sit
• Sleeping boxes dim so active bouts stand out; the screen stays awake

RECORD — bout video with matching scoring box data
Film a bout and the app overlays the box's lights, score, and clock on the video, reconstructed from the box's own data:
• Jump from touch to touch, watch touches on a loop, slow it down
• Name and tag recordings so you can find each bout
• Your recordings are yours: each bout shows up in the Files app as a folder (and in Finder with the phone plugged in) — the video, the scoring timeline, and the raw data — ready to copy anywhere

CONTROL — a remote in your pocket
Pair the phone to a box and it works exactly like the physical remote: score, clock, cards, priority, weapon. No secret remotes: pairing needs the PIN the box only shows on its own menu, and the box announces on its display whenever a remote is connected.

REVIEW — video replay systems
If your club runs Skewered Fencing video replay units, the app is their companion too: units on your WiFi appear by themselves, and you can review touches with the scoring overlay, watch the live camera, browse and tag bouts, and manage the unit — all from your seat.

Simple and private:
Watching needs nothing — the app only listens to signals your box already broadcasts. Remote control is opt-in and requires pairing at the box itself. Recordings stay on your device. The app collects no data.

Requires a Skewered Fencing scoring box and a device with Bluetooth Low Energy. Replay features require a Skewered Fencing video replay system.
