Live scoring the whole gym can trust
Table workers score every takedown, escape, reversal, and near fall as it happens. Brackets advance instantly, spectators watch in real time, and every completed match keeps a full audit trail, so results are facts, not arguments.
Quick answer
Smart Wrestler’s live scoring captures every scoring action, takedowns, escapes, reversals, near falls, penalties, plus instant win methods like pins and technical falls, with a period timer. Every completed match keeps a full score audit trail, and results advance brackets and notify followers in real time.
How does live scoring work at the table?
Each mat’s table worker scores from the match screen: tap the wrestler, tap the action. Takedowns, escapes, reversals, near fall points, and penalties are recorded the moment the referee signals them, against a running period timer configured from the tournament’s period durations. Instant win outcomes, pin, technical fall, forfeit, disqualification, injury default, end the match immediately with the method recorded.
Scoring does not require full admin rights. The Staff role exists precisely so a host can hand a table worker scoring, weigh in, and mat duties without exposing tournament settings, and referees see their assigned bouts in their own view.
What is a score audit trail and why does it matter?
The audit trail is the complete, ordered record of everything scored in a match: each action, which wrestler it credited, and the sequence it happened in, through to the final result and win method. On a completed match, that record is preserved, it is not just a final score, it is how the score happened.
Anyone who has run a tournament knows why this matters. Disputed results at a paper tournament come down to memory versus memory. With an audit trail, a challenged result is reviewed event by event: here is the takedown at 1:12 of the second period, here is the near fall, here is the pin. Coaches use the same record after the event to review matches with their wrestlers, and it feeds Smart Wrestler’s tendencies analytics.
Where do live scores go?
Everywhere at once. A scored action updates the live match view spectators are watching on their phones, the mat spectator display, the coach’s team dashboard, and the parent’s view of their kid’s match, simultaneously. When the match completes, the bracket advances the winner along its canonical path, the mat queue pulls the next bout, and result notifications go out to followers.
- Spectator match view: follow any individual bout point by point, live.
- Mat spectator view: the current match and queue for a whole mat.
- Tournament live view: everything happening across the event at once.
- Coach and parent dashboards: filtered to the wrestlers they care about.
