About

MatchDirector

Features
Read full description

MatchDirector is the stage design and match-day scoring tool built for competitive shooting match directors and range officers. DESIGN STAGES ON THE CANVAS Drag-and-drop stage designer with USPSA, IDPA and Steel Challenge props: paper targets, no-shoots, poppers, plates, walls, barricades, barrels, fault lines and shooting boxes. Grid snap, rotation, real bay dimensions in feet, undo and redo. WRITTEN STAGE BRIEFINGS, AUTOMATICALLY Round counts and target counts are calculated from what you placed on the canvas. Add the start position, procedure and scoring type, and export the finished stage brief as a PDF or image straight from the share sheet. SCORE MATCH DAY AT THE BAY Download a match pack once, then run the whole match with no signal: stages, squads and competitors are on the device. Score each shooter with a fast, purpose-built score sheet — hits, misses, no-shoots, procedurals and time — with auto-advance to the next shooter in the squad. Steel Challenge and multi-string stages are supported. HAND THE DEVICE TO A RANGE OFFICER Scoring mode locks the app to the score sheet so a shared tablet cannot wander; leaving it takes Face ID or your passcode. SYNC BETWEEN DEVICES WITHOUT INTERNET Several devices scoring the same match sync peer to peer over the local network, with conflict review when two officers scored the same shooter. REGISTRATION AND RESULTS Import your registration roster from CSV, manage squads and shoot order, and review standings, hit factors and stage percentages in the results and matrix views. BUILT FOR THE RANGE Works on iPhone and iPad, offline first, with your work auto-saved as you go. Free to use. Made by match directors, for match directors.
