Automated Venue Assistant

Referee panels, ready before the bow.

AVA builds the referee teams and the panel for every fight of a karate competition, checks every rule of the referee commission, and shows each change on a screen at the tatami. The supervisors keep the final say.

What AVA does

Assign · Validate · Announce

Three jobs a referee commission does by hand today, in spreadsheets and on paper, now done in seconds and checked every time.

1

Assign

Splits the registered referees into teams for each competition and builds the panel of every fight.

  • Teams per tatami and shift length you choose
  • Only referees registered for that age group and discipline
  • Work spread evenly over the day
2

Validate

Every seat is checked against the commission's rules before anyone sees it.

  • Never a referee from an athlete's country
  • Licence and Dan needed for each category and round
  • Two referees from one country on a panel avoided
3

Announce

A screen at each tatami shows who judges now and what changes before the next fight.

  • Changes with the reason behind them
  • Referees called to the table in time
  • Supervisors replace or swap with one tap
