If you've competed, coached, or been a tournament parent, you've lived this day: it's 9 PM, the black belt finals were supposed to start at 8, and nobody knows which mat they're on.
In this Budocast Spotlight, Jessica and Marcus go deep on Fight Card, the tournament management software from the Open Black Belt team: competitor self-registration, automatic brackets with automatic seeding, weigh-ins, mat and time scheduling, live public bracket links, live results, dispute handling, print-ready PDFs, CSV import/export, and fighter profiles. Free to start at fightcard.pro — no credit card.
Plus, first news of Fight Card Score: the new tablet-first referee scoring app with big buttons, a loud timer, and one-tap scoring. Fully offline for dead venue wifi, and CSV import/export means it works with any bracket software. Free pilot events are open now — organizers, reach out through fightcard.pro and you could be scoring on tablets instead of paper by your next event.
