Calibur Remote Controller
Read full descriptionHide full description
This app works as a remote controller for another application called Calibur. With Calibur, your phone or tablet becomes a fully functioning fencing scoring machine. When referring a bout with Calibur, refs manage the scoring app from the opposite side of the piste, just as they would with traditional scoring machine remotes. That is exactly why we built this companion app. Simply install it on a second device, connect both devices to the same wireless network, and you are ready to remotely control every essential function: • Start or stop the timer • Add or subtract minutes or seconds • Set yellow or red cards • Update the touch counter • Update the bout counter • Set priority manually or randomly Fast, intuitive, and designed to keep your refereeing smooth and stress free.
