RGForm (KSIS) Alternative for Rhythmic Gymnastics Meets

RGForm, which also runs under the KSIS name, describes itself as a scripting, registration and scoring system. Rhythmic gymnastics is its origin discipline, and the same platform covers aesthetic group gymnastics, acrobatic gymnastics, men's and women's artistic gymnastics, aerobic, TeamGym, trampoline, parkour, artistic swimming and wushu.

Its signature feature is difficulty scripting against the Code of Points, per cycle. The scripting menu carries the 2025-2028 code alongside 2022-2024 and 2017-2020, for individuals and for teams. Nothing in JudgeMate does this, and nothing in JudgeMate was built to.

Registration is federation-grade. Preliminary entries, online entry for gymnasts, judges and coaches, group entry, MP3 music upload and a PDF tariff upload per apparatus all sit inside the entry flow. Account creation is free and self-serve.

On competition day judges work in the eJudge2 web app on their own device. The chief judge issues an eJudge ID and a code, the judge picks the panel's apparatus, taps the athlete and enters scores on a numeric keypad. Results are published under a Results LIVE menu with no login required.

RGForm also documents something we cannot match: a full offline mode. Their venue topology diagram shows an offline server package, a wired router, a private judging Wi-Fi, Android tablets pointed at a local address, a head-judge control laptop, and a second public uplink used only to push live results out. A dead venue connection does not stop the meet.

Adoption is the other half of the story. The RGForm references page lists Gymnastics Canada, USA Gymnastics, the Estonian, Latvian, Romanian and Ukrainian federations, the Korea Gymnastics Association, San Marino, the Japanese AGG federation, the Austrian ÖFT and GymFed Vlaanderen, plus clubs in more than 60 countries, and it carries a counter reading “Successfully created forms: 74265”. Gymnastics Ontario mandates KSIS for provincial events. One thing we could not establish: the site names no operating company, and the footer reads only “© KSIS 2026”.

For how the scoring arithmetic itself works, see how rhythmic gymnastics is scored and the JudgeMate rhythmic gymnastics page.

Both platforms put judges on a device and publish live results without a login. The decisions sit elsewhere: difficulty scripting, registration depth, what happens when the connection drops, and what you can carry out of the system afterwards. For the wider field, see the rhythmic gymnastics competition software comparison.

Pick JudgeMate for the case it was built for: a club meet or an invitational where nobody needs a validated D-form, and the scoring simply has to be correct, fast and visible from the back of the hall.

• Judges on their own phones, no venue kit. A judge opens a link and scores. There is no offline server, no router, no private Wi-Fi and no fleet of tablets to charge the night before. The trade is explicit: this needs a working connection, and the RGForm offline path does not.
• One judge can cover all three panels. At a small club meet you rarely have eight officials in the room. A single judge can enter D, A and E, and an approved organizer can enter panel scores too.
• The FIG trim rule, switchable per category. With four or more scores on a panel the highest and lowest are dropped and the rest averaged, matching Code of Points Arts. 3.5.2 and 3.6.2. Turn it off when you are running two judges.
• Apparatus rotation that matches the programme. Choose any subset of freehand, rope, hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon, always stored in FIG order. Presets cover the senior individual programme (hoop, ball, clubs, ribbon), a freehand-only beginners round, and all six.
• Per-apparatus ranking and an all-around inside the category. The all-around tie-break runs E-scores, then A-scores, then D-scores, then a shared position, which is the ladder in FIG Technical Regulations 2026, Section 3, Art. 3.4.1.2.
• An arena display. Results render on the public event page and on the LED view at /display/[event-slug], with scale, auto-rotation and row-count set in the URL. The hall screen needs a browser and nothing else.
• Free for athletes and spectators. Nobody pays to watch a leaderboard.
• The arithmetic is checkable in advance. The public rhythmic gymnastics score calculator runs the same functions as the live engine, and the server is authoritative, so a judge's phone never decides the result on its own.

The club competition walkthrough covers a full meet from category setup to the final all-around.

For most clubs already inside the RGForm pipeline the honest recommendation is not to migrate. Keep the account, and split the work by what each tool actually does: RGForm for the federation paperwork, JudgeMate for the scoring on the day.

1. Entries, music and difficulty forms stay in RGForm. Anything a federation will ask for later belongs where it is already validated.
2. Build the JudgeMate event from the start list. Import participants from a spreadsheet, then set up categories: the apparatus rotation preset, the D-score cap for the level, and whether the high-low trim is on.
3. Assign judges to panels. One judge can hold all three at a small meet. Judges open a link on their own phone, and each writes only their own score.
4. Put the LED view on the hall screen. Open /display/[event-slug] with the scale and rotation parameters set for the screen you actually have, not the one in the quote.
5. Run one test routine before doors open. Two people, ten minutes. Submit D, A and E, add a penalty, then confirm the total and the ranking both move.

What does not happen: nothing flows between the two systems. JudgeMate has no importer for RGForm data and the two share no athlete database, so a start list entered twice is entered twice. If the meet needs validated D-forms or federation records, do not split it at all. Run the whole thing in RGForm, and come back for the club invitational where the paperwork is lighter. The organizer guide covers the day itself.
