For tournament promoters
One system, from sign-up to trophies
The Open World Tour system runs the whole event: registration, payments, scheduling, live scoring, the big-screen display, and results — built to be simple for non-tech staff and light enough for old Chromebooks.
Online registration
Families and coaches sign up, add several students, and pay online. Balances and check-in tracked for you.
Eligible divisions only
Each competitor sees only the divisions they qualify for by age, rank, and gender — no wrong sign-ups.
Every event type
Traditional, creative (CMX) & extreme forms and weapons, sparring, team & continuous sparring, sync, karate flag, padded sword, novelty.
One-click scheduling
Preset layouts drop divisions onto rings and sessions in seconds. Edit sessions, start times, breaks and lunch, then recalculate.
Rooms, rings & QR
Set up rooms and rings from one desk. Judges and scorekeepers join a ring with a PIN or QR — no account needed.
Score on any device
Forms points and sparring/kumite scoreboards with warnings, penalties, timer and clean decisions — even on old Chromebooks.
Brackets with photos
Auto brackets and round-robin standings show each competitor's photo, school and progress.
Big-screen display
A spectator TV screen shows who's up, the live scoreboard, and the champion — photos and all.
World Tour points & seeds
Group events into a tour. Every placement earns tour points, standings update live, and the top-rated competitors are seeded into brackets.
Live results & placements
Placements post automatically as divisions finish. A public results page updates on its own.
Public event page
A shareable event page with divisions and live entrant counts, a 'find your athlete' search, live results, and an auto-generated event QR.
Money, done right
Take payments and partial balances, discount codes, and optional night-show tickets. Print or export every report as CSV.
Promoter reports
See registrations by belt, age, school and more — filter, group, print, or export to a spreadsheet.
Test before you go live
Build and rehearse a test event that stays hidden from the public until you're ready.
How it works
1
Create your organizer account
Sign up free with your email. Your account holds your events and tours, and you can rehearse with a test event before going live.
2
Create your event & divisions
Name your event, add rings, and build your divisions — or copy them from a past event in one click.
3
Open registration
Share your event link. Families register their students, see only eligible divisions, and pay online.
4
Set up rings & schedule
Use a one-click preset to place divisions onto rings and sessions, set start times and breaks, then hand ring PINs to your staff.
5
Run the day
Officials score from their phones, the TV shows the action, and results & placements post live for everyone to see.
6
Count it toward the World Tour
Add your event to a World Tour. Placements turn into tour points automatically, standings update live, and the top-rated competitors are seeded into your brackets.
Coming soon
On the roadmapCompetitor performance music
Turn music on for a division, and competitors upload their track for it (and swap it anytime). The ring plays it when they're up — with a reminder to add new music for finals and the night show.
Signable waivers
Upload your liability waiver, require it to register, and let families sign it online — stored with the event.
Merch & smarter carts
Sell merchandise with sizes and price-by-size, cap competitors per division, and let a coach or family save a multi-student cart for later.
Coaches & deeper reports
Attach coaches and organizations to competitors, then filter and report by them alongside belt, age and school.
Promoter roles & permissions
Approved OWT promoters create tour events and add their own staff — full managers, desk-only or scoring-only — while tour points and ratings stay with OWT administrators.
OWT app in the app stores
The site already installs on phones from the browser; dedicated App Store and Google Play apps are planned.
Full email & text notifications
Confirmations, 'you're up' alerts, results and request updates by email and text message — some notifications are not fully live yet.
Per-ring share screens
One-tap links to hand out the right screen — TV display, schedule board, or matches view — for each ring.
💡 Our recommendations
A few habits that make event day calm and predictable.
- ✓Run a test event first — rehearse registration, scoring and the TV display before opening to families. Test events stay hidden from the public.
- ✓Move to the paid database tier before a big event so it never sleeps and your data is backed up automatically.
- ✓Do a card-payment test pass before opening real registration, so families' first payment just works.
- ✓Lean on eligible-divisions-only and the one-click schedule — they remove the two biggest sources of day-of chaos.
- ✓Print or export your check-in and awards reports the night before, so you have a paper backup at the desk.
