Is JudgeMate really free?

Yes. JudgeMate's core features — event creation, scoring, live results, and PDF export — are completely free with no per-event fees, no trial limits, and no hidden costs. We believe every competition deserves professional judging tools regardless of budget.

What devices does JudgeMate work on?

JudgeMate is a web-based application that works on any device with a modern browser — smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. No app installation required. Judges can score from their personal phones, making it easy to deploy at any event.

How many judges can score simultaneously?

There's no limit on the number of judges per category. Whether you have 3 judges for a local contest or 12 for a major championship, JudgeMate handles the scoring panel seamlessly with automatic calculation of averages and elimination of outlier scores.

Can I customize the scoring system for my sport?

Absolutely. JudgeMate supports fully custom scoring: define your own criteria names, set point scales (0-10, 0-100, or any range), choose calculation methods (average, best run, weighted sum), and configure how many runs count toward the final score.

Does JudgeMate work without internet?

JudgeMate requires an internet connection to synchronize scores in real time between judges, organizers, and the live results page. We recommend a stable WiFi or mobile data connection at your event venue.
