Read full descriptionHide full description
Create and manage fencing tournaments with multiple rounds, pools, and a knockout stage. This app is tailored specifically to the workflow of fencing tournaments, and results can be recorded according to general tournament rules. In pools, round-robin ("everyone-against-everyone") bouts can be recorded. In rounds with multiple pools, a ranking is generated based on victory and hit indicators to automatically seed the next round. The final round can be held as a knockout stage. The app is suitable for small tournaments and training purposes. It is designed in particular to improve club training by simulating tournaments and increasing motivation during practice. This app is not approved for official tournaments. Features: - Edit athlete list / club members - Create new tournament - Create rounds with pools (round-robin / "everyone-against-everyone") - Record results in list or matrix view - Evaluate results in pools and rounds - Bout order in pools of 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 is set according to standard definitions - Bout order in larger pools is set arbitrarily - Simple knockout stage Work in Progress: - Statistics for fencers - Images - Match for third place - Clubs and nationalities for fencers
Poule Referee
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.
