Touché Point is the fencing scoreboard built the way referees actually work — everything on one screen, zero menus mid-bout. Run a pool bout or a direct elimination with one tap. Score with big split-flap counters, run a drift-free bout clock, hand out penalty cards, and let the app handle the rules so you can watch the fencing. BUILT FOR EVERY WEAPON • Foil, épée and sabre modes • Épée double-touch button — one tap scores both fencers, and doubles at 4–4 or 14–14 are annulled automatically • Sabre DE handled correctly: break when the leading fencer reaches 8 BUILT FOR EVERY BOUT • Pool bouts: 5 touches, 3:00 • Direct elimination: 15 touches, 3 × 3:00 periods • Automatic 1-minute breaks between periods • Tied at time? Priority is drawn at random and the 1-minute overtime starts — the app even decides the winner if nobody scores BUILT FOR THE REFEREE • Touches automatically halt the clock, just like calling "Halt!" • Yellow, red and black cards — a red card awards the touch to the opponent automatically • Undo any touch or card with one tap • Switch sides with everything — scores, cards, priority — moving together • Tenths of a second shown in the final 10 seconds • The screen stays awake for the whole bout SHARE THE RESULT • Generate a clean score card image with names, scores, cards and the winner — ready for the group chat or the club's feed No account. No ads. Just press start and fence.
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.
