Taekwondo competitions, organised from first kick to final score
PlayMetric handles weight divisions, kyorugi brackets, and poomsae scoring panels so you can deliver a professional competition without drowning in paperwork.
Sound familiar?
Running taekwondo tournaments shouldn't be this hard
Weight division changes pile up at weigh-in
Athletes miss weight, categories need combining, and last-minute entries throw off the entire draw. Rebuilding brackets by hand under time pressure leads to errors and delays.
Coordinating kyorugi and poomsae schedules is a headache
Many competitions run sparring and forms events simultaneously. Athletes competing in both need gap time, and ring assignments must avoid conflicts — a puzzle that spreadsheets handle poorly.
Results and rankings take days to publish
Collating scores from multiple rings, calculating placements, and formatting results for federation reporting is a manual process that delays rankings and frustrates athletes waiting for national points.
How it works
Three steps to a better tournament
Configure divisions and format
Set up weight divisions, belt ranks, and age groups for kyorugi. Add poomsae categories with scoring criteria. PlayMetric generates seeded draws for each division.
Athletes register with their details
Share a registration link. Competitors enter their weight class, belt rank, and club. Coaches can register multiple athletes at once. Weigh-in confirmations finalise the draw.
Score bouts and publish results instantly
Enter kyorugi bout results by ring. Record poomsae scores from the judging panel. PlayMetric advances brackets, calculates placements, and publishes results in real time.
Formats
Every taekwondo format, covered
Single Elimination with Repechage
The standard World Taekwondo format. Athletes eliminated by semi-finalists re-enter for bronze medal bouts. Used at Olympic-style and national-level competitions.
Straight Single Elimination
Simple knockout bracket with third-place bout. Fast to run and suitable for large divisions at one-day events.
Round Robin Pools
Athletes compete against everyone in their pool. Top finishers advance to elimination rounds. Common for smaller divisions or younger age groups.
Poomsae Panel Scoring
Forms competition scored by a panel of judges on accuracy and presentation. Athletes are ranked by total or averaged scores within their division.
