RingWatch puts ATA tournament scores in your hands as you cheer from the stands. When the judges flash their scores, enter what you see, and everyone watching that ring sees the same live, accurate result. Never miss a score, even from the back of the venue. LIVE SCORE ENTRY Know every score the moment it is flashed. • Enter the judges' scores for Traditional, Creative, and Xtreme Forms and Weapons, One-Steps, Traditional Point Sparring, and Combat Weapons Sparring as they occur. • Watch rankings and placements update instantly as each competitor finishes. • Follow tiebreaker run-offs through to the final result. • Fix a mistyped score while the ring is still open. • Keep the full match history for the day in one place. LIVE RING UPDATES Look away for a second and still catch the result. Everyone who joins a ring sees the same scores, synced live to every phone. Join with a QR code or a short join code. If two entries disagree, everyone watching sees it flagged, and anyone scoring the ring can resolve it before the ring closes. PRACTICE MODE Walk into the venue ready. Practice mode runs a sample ring with sample competitors so you can try score entry before tournament day without touching a real event. FOLLOW EVERY RING Stay with your athlete all day, wherever they compete. • Watch as many rings as you like, for free. • Switch between competitors without losing your place. • See the podium and full placements the moment an event closes. SEASON HISTORY (PREMIUM) Every tournament adds to your athlete's record. See medal totals, auto-awarded badges such as a first gold, and a progress view that shows how they are trending throughout the season. MULTI-ATHLETE ROSTERS (PREMIUM) More than one child competing, or an entire school to follow? Add every athlete to your roster and track scores across multiple rings at once. Opponent history carries across tournaments, so you don't have to re-enter the same competitors at every event. SHARE WITH FAMILY Send a clean results summary to the group chat, the grandparents, or your instructor with one tap. BUILT FOR FAMILIES A calm, readable design for a loud venue and a long tournament day. Built around the ATA divisions and scoring you already know, with girls and women in competition front and center. Every gender, age, and rank is supported. FREE AND PREMIUM Free covers a full tournament day for a typical family: track ATA tournament scores in one active ring at a time with unlimited competitors, forms, weapons, and sparring; live ring updates; podium and placements; results sharing; and one athlete on your roster. Premium adds unlimited athletes, scoring in several rings at once, opponent history across tournaments, full season history with stats, badges, and progress, and competitor notes during a live ring. Available monthly or yearly. Prices are shown in the app. RingWatch is built for spectators. It is a simple way to follow ATA tournament scores from your seat.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NC State Wolfpack at none against RingWatch's 2. RingWatch's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
