Wushu competitions with the precision they deserve
PlayMetric manages taolu scoring panels, sanda elimination brackets, and division scheduling so you can deliver a professional competition across all wushu disciplines.
Sound familiar?
Running wushu competitions shouldn't be this hard
Taolu and sanda divisions run on completely different formats
Taolu uses panel-scored performances while sanda uses elimination brackets with weight classes. Running both at the same event with shared athletes and carpets requires careful coordination that paper systems cannot handle.
Collecting and averaging judge scores is slow and error-prone
Gathering scores from 5-7 judges for each taolu performance, dropping high and low scores, and calculating final placement manually causes delays between routines and risks miscalculation.
Managing carpet assignments across disciplines is chaotic
Competition carpets need to alternate between taolu performances and sanda bouts. Scheduling conflicts between disciplines mean athletes get called while still warming up for another event.
How it works
Three steps to a better competition
Configure taolu and sanda divisions
Set up taolu categories by form style — changquan, nanquan, taijiquan, weapons — and sanda weight classes. PlayMetric generates scoring panels for taolu and elimination brackets for sanda.
Athletes register for their disciplines
Share a registration link. Competitors enter their events — taolu forms, sanda weight class, or both. Coaches can register entire teams at once with each athlete's divisions.
Score performances and run bouts live
Judges enter taolu scores from their devices. Enter sanda bout results by carpet. PlayMetric calculates rankings, advances brackets, and publishes results in real time.
Formats
Every wushu format, covered
Taolu Panel Scoring
Athletes perform compulsory or optional routines scored by a panel of judges on difficulty and execution. High and low scores are dropped, and the remaining scores determine placement.
Sanda Single Elimination
Standard elimination bracket for sanda fighting divisions by weight class. Winners advance through to the final and bronze medal bouts.
Sanda with Repechage
Elimination bracket where losers to semi-finalists re-enter for bronze medal bouts. Used at IWUF-sanctioned and national-level sanda competitions.
Taolu Group Scoring
Group synchronised routines scored on timing, coordination, and technique. A separate category from individual taolu with its own judging criteria.
Duilian (Choreographed Fight)
Pairs or small groups perform choreographed combat routines scored on technique, timing, and presentation. A unique wushu category combining performance and martial application.
