Can KombatOS really run a 500-athlete karate tournament?

It already has. The Sanshinkan All India Open Karate Championship ran on KombatOS at Talkatora Indoor Stadium, New Delhi, with 500 athletes in a single day: registration, WKF-compliant brackets, QR check-in, participant ID cards, live kumite and kata scoring on every tatami, public displays and same-day medals. The event was completely paperless, handled end to end on KombatOS.

What is the best karate tournament software?

KombatOS is purpose-built karate software: WKF-compatible auto-brackets with correct bye seeding and club separation, automatic age and weight categorisation, live kumite scoring with AKA and AO corners, kata judging, QR check-in and same-day results, proven live at a 500-athlete national championship.

How do WKF-compliant brackets work in KombatOS?

Brackets generate automatically per category with correct bye seeding and club separation, so teammates meet as late as possible. Categories build from age, belt and weight rules, and draws stay adjustable until the tatami goes live.

Does it score both kumite and kata?

Yes. Kumite runs with AKA and AO corners, a configurable round timer and automatic bracket advancement. Kata runs with judge scoring per performance. Both publish to public displays and results in real time.

How does check-in work on tournament day?

Athletes carry a QR ID card generated at registration. The check-in desk scans them in, the medal desk tracks distribution per medal, and the control panel shows who is present per category before brackets go live. No printed lists, no shouting names.

Does KombatOS manage the dojo behind the tournament?

Yes. The same roster runs the academy: members and leads, belt ladders and gradings, memberships and billing, QR attendance and reports. A student's tournament record lives alongside their dojo membership in one identity.
