Sportzsoft LiveMeet Alternative for Rhythmic Gymnastics Meets

Sportzsoft LiveMeet is web-based meet management software from SportzSoft Solutions Inc. It covers online registration, scoring, volunteer management and live results, so the offer is the whole meet rather than the judging panel on its own. Its established ground is artistic gymnastics plus trampoline and tumbling. The rhythmic and aerobic systems are described on their site as newly developed.

Judges work in a dedicated iOS app called LiveMeet Judges, published on the App Store. That is the first practical fork between the two products. The judge client they publish is an iOS app. Ours is a URL that opens in whatever browser the judge already carries, Android phones included.

The credential worth taking seriously sits in Bahrain. LiveMeet was the official gymnastics scoring system at the ISF Gymnasiade 2024 in Manama, 23 to 31 October 2024, and the rhythmic and aerobic systems made their debut there. An international school-sport championship is a harder room than a club invitational, and JudgeMate has no equivalent deployment on its record for rhythmic gymnastics. Our rhythmic plugin was written for club meets, and the scoring model behind it is set out in how rhythmic gymnastics is scored and on the rhythmic gymnastics page.

Both products register gymnasts, score them and put results in front of a room. The real differences are discipline coverage, judge hardware, meet paperwork and the bill. Where a row says not published, it means we could not find the answer on their own site, not that the answer is no. For the wider field, including RGForm and RGScores, read the rhythmic gymnastics competition software comparison.

Pick JudgeMate when the meet is rhythmic, the panels are the point and the budget is a club budget:

• D, A and E on the judges' own phones. Routine total is D + A + E minus penalties, floored at zero. D is open-ended up to a cap you set per category, A and E are the final 0 to 10 values, and penalties are one organizer field per routine.
• Panel arithmetic that follows the Code. With four or more scores on a panel the highest and lowest are dropped and the rest averaged, switchable per category. With one to three judges it is a plain mean. The trim matches FIG Code of Points Arts. 3.5.2 and 3.6.2.
• Apparatus rotation you configure. Presets for the FIG senior individual programme (hoop, ball, clubs, ribbon), for beginners on freehand, or all six apparatus. Each apparatus is a routine, per-apparatus rankings and the all-around are computed together, and a tie is broken by the higher sum of E scores, then the higher sum of A scores, then the higher sum of D scores, as FIG Technical Regulations 2026 Section 3 Art. 3.4.1.2 sets out. If all three match, the position is shared.
• A screen in the hall. Results render on the public event page and on the arena display, with scale, auto-rotation and row-count parameters for the room. None of the products in our research advertises a dedicated LED view.
• Cost that ignores headcount. USA club Levels 5 to 8 gymnasts perform four routines each, so a 40-gymnast meet is 160 scored routines across three panels. The price is the same as it would be for eight gymnasts.
• One judge covering all three panels. The club reality that FIG-shaped tooling does not optimise for. An approved organizer can enter panel scores as well.
• Whatever phone the panel brought. No App Store, no install, no Apple requirement. Athletes and spectators pay nothing to follow results.

There is no automated importer between the two systems, and for a club that also runs artistic gymnastics the sane answer may be to keep LiveMeet for that half. For a rhythmic-only meet the move takes an afternoon.

1. Pull the start list. Get gymnast, club, category and level into a spreadsheet. Which export formats LiveMeet offers is not itemised on their site, so budget for a manual pass if the file does not come out clean. JudgeMate imports participants from a spreadsheet, so the columns matter more than the file format.
2. Create the event and its categories. One category per level and age group. The all-around is computed inside a category, so category boundaries are the ranking boundaries.
3. Set the apparatus rotation. Pick the FIG senior individual preset (hoop, ball, clubs, ribbon), freehand for beginners, or all six. The selection is stored in canonical FIG order, so run 1 to run N follow the rotation you expect.
4. Set the D cap and the trim. The D maximum defaults to 20 per category. The high-low trim is on by default and switches off per category when the panel is small.
5. Assign the panel. Invite judges to the category. One judge can hold D, A and E if that is who turned up.
6. Put the display on the wall. Open the arena display for the event on the hall screen and set scale, rotation and row count for the viewing distance.
7. Score one routine before doors. Enter a full D, A and E set on a test gymnast, confirm the total, the drop rule and the all-around, then clear it.

Groups enter as a single participant under the group name; there is no five-gymnast registration entity. If you are still choosing, the RGForm alternative and the RGScores alternative cover the other two products in this market.
