01 · CHALLENGE

Action sports run on stopwatches, paper and good faith.

International action sports events still depend on spreadsheets, hand-written scorecards and improvised broadcast graphics. The result: long delays between runs and final results, no live audience tie-in, and contested scores that hurt athletes and federations alike.

  • No standard scoring engine across federations
  • Results not visible to audiences in real-time
  • Broadcast graphics manually updated between heats
02 · SOLUTION

A real-time scoring engine built for live competition.

ScoreHeat ships a judging interface optimized for tablets and phones, a real-time backend that calculates rankings the moment a score lands, and broadcast overlays that update live in OBS. Federations configure formats once and reuse them across the season; organizers run heats from a single console.

  • Tablet-first judging interface with offline tolerance
  • Real-time leaderboards via WebSockets
  • Configurable formats per discipline and federation
  • OBS broadcast overlays with live data binding
03 · RESULTS

From spreadsheet chaos to broadcast-ready competition.

ScoreHeat is now used at major wakeboarding, skateboarding and BMX events across multiple continents. Federations report final results within minutes of the last run; broadcasts feel professional because the data is professional.

  • 120+ events powered across multiple continents
  • Final results published within minutes of the last run
  • Zero post-event score disputes when used end-to-end
