Everything your tournament needs to move forward.
A club evening or a full tournament day: keep registration, match organisation, scoring and results connected. Kendo Taikai gives organisers, court teams, players and spectators a shared view of the competition, each with the access they need.
Individual or team. Your format.
Run individual or team events with Swiss, knockout, double elimination, round robin or knockout with pools. Set your match rules and court count, then follow schedules, standings and brackets as results come in.
Your roster, without the retyping
Collect player entries and approve your line-up, or bring an existing list straight in with the Excel template and bulk import. Players can use a saved profile or enter temporarily.
A scoring desk that speaks kendo
Record men, kote, dō, tsuki and hansoku, with match clocks and enchō for knockout ties. Work with separate scorekeeper and timekeeper controls, or let one person handle both. Open a live shiai-jō display for each court.
Let everyone follow the action
Publish live scores, standings and brackets for spectators to follow without signing in. Share results publicly or by link, and let friends explore player results. Player account profiles are public only when the player chooses.
Prepare. Run. Share.
