Free Rhythmic Gymnastics Scoring Software in 2026

Two different questions hide inside the word, and they have different answers.

Is the software free to open? Three routes in rhythmic gymnastics say yes in public:

• A free account with an unpublished organizer price. Anyone can create an RGForm (KSIS) account at no cost. What a club pays to run a competition on it is not published anywhere on the site.
• Free trial credits. RGScores gives you two competition credits at A$0. After that, a competition credit costs A$85.
• Free on both sides of the scoring desk. On JudgeMate the organizer pays nothing to run a competition, and athletes and spectators pay nothing to enter or to read the results. There is no per-competition credit and no commission on registrations.

Can a club run a whole meet without paying anything? Only if the meet fits inside one of those three, or if you run it on paper. Sportzsoft LiveMeet publishes $75.00 per meet plus 2.5% of athlete registration fees, with a minimum charge of $1.00 per athlete and no free tier. ITDSport in Poland covers rhythmic gymnastics as a service with its own equipment and operators, and its pricing is not published. DTB GymNet in Germany is the federation's club-side registration and reporting tool; we could not verify any live scoring or judge-device capability, so it is not a scoring route we can compare here. Swiss Timing supplies FIG-level timing, judging terminals, scoreboards and TV graphics, which no club procures and which nothing on this page competes with.

The fourth answer is the one plenty of gyms still pick: printed judge forms and a spreadsheet. It costs nothing in money. The section below is specific about what it costs instead.

RGForm calls itself a scripting, registration and scoring system, and rhythmic gymnastics is where it started. Account creation is free and self-serve, which is why it belongs on this page. What an organizer pays to run a competition is not published anywhere on the site, so nobody can call the whole product free.

The signature feature is difficulty scripting. Gymnasts and coaches build D-forms against the Code of Points per cycle, with the 2025-2028 code alongside 2022-2024 and 2017-2020, for individuals and for groups. Registration covers preliminary and online entry for gymnasts, judges and coaches, group entry, MP3 music upload and a PDF tariff upload per apparatus. Judges score on their own device through the eJudge2 web app: the chief judge issues an eJudge ID and a code, the judge picks the panel's apparatus, taps the athlete and enters the score on a numeric keypad. Results are public with no login.

The venue setup is the part no free competitor matches. Their published offline topology is an offline server package, a wired router, a private judging Wi-Fi, Android tablets, a head-judge control laptop and a second public uplink that pushes live results out. A competition can finish with the building's internet down.

Adoption is on their own references page: Gymnastics Canada, USA Gymnastics, the Estonian, Latvian, Romanian and Ukrainian federations, the Korea Gymnastics Association, San Marino, the Japanese AGG federation, the Austrian ÖFT, GymFed Vlaanderen and clubs in more than 60 countries, with a counter reading 74265 forms created. Gymnastics Ontario mandates KSIS for provincial events.

Best for: any event that has to feed federation records, and any gymnast who needs a validated D-form. Neither of those is a place where a free alternative substitutes.

Trade-off: you cannot budget for something whose price is not published, and the operator behind the product is not identified on the site. Ask for a quote before you commit a season to it. See our RGForm alternative page for the longer version.

JudgeMate is a multi-sport platform with a rhythmic gymnastics scoring model, and the free part is specific: running a competition costs the organizer nothing, athletes and spectators pay nothing, there is no per-competition credit and no commission on registrations. Nobody buys a ticket to read the results, and the organizer price sits on this page rather than behind a quote request.

A routine total is D + A + E minus penalties, floored at zero. Judges enter the final value on each panel, D open-ended up to a per-category cap and A and E on a 0 to 10 scale. Panel scores are averaged, and at four or more scores on a panel the highest and lowest are dropped first, which matches Code of Points Articles 3.5.2 and 3.6.2. The trim is a per-category switch, on by default. One judge can cover all three panels, which is the club-meet reality that FIG-shaped tooling does not optimise for.

Apparatus rotation is a configurable subset of freehand, rope, hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon, always stored in FIG order, with presets for the senior individual programme of hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon, for beginners on freehand, or for all six. Each apparatus is one routine, per-apparatus rankings are computed alongside the all-around, and the tie-break runs E, then A, then D before a shared position, matching FIG Technical Regulations 2026, Section 3, Article 3.4.1.2. Results recalculate on the server within seconds of a score write and appear on the public event page and on the LED arena display.

Best for: a club meet, a grading day or an invitational where judges bring their own phones, spectators want the standings without an account and the hall has a screen worth filling.

Trade-off: this is where the honesty has to be blunt. There is no Code of Points element database, so a gymnast who needs a validated D-form builds it elsewhere. There is no export of any kind for rhythmic gymnastics: no PDF, no Excel, no CSV. There is no federation integration. The platform is online only. The D panel is not the FIG D-jury, which uses four judges in DB and DA subgroups and sums DB and DA rather than averaging one panel. A and E judges enter the final 0 to 10 value rather than the deduction total that FIG judges submit. Line and time penalties are dedicated FIG judge roles, and there is one organizer-entered penalty field per routine instead. The all-around stops at the category boundary, with no cross-category roll-up, and the public results grid still labels its columns Run 1 to Run N rather than by apparatus name. The rhythmic gymnastics score calculator runs the same functions as the live engine, so you can test the arithmetic before you trust it.

A comparison where the author wins every row is an advert. These are the rows we lose.

• A validated D-form is theirs, not ours. RGForm scripts difficulty forms against the Code of Points per cycle, for individuals and for groups. JudgeMate has no element database at all, so a gymnast who needs a validated D-form for a federation event cannot build one here.
• Federation records run through KSIS. Gymnastics Ontario mandates it for provincial events, and Gymnastics Canada, USA Gymnastics and four European federations sit on the RGForm references page. JudgeMate has no federation integration.
• Nothing we do exports. We have no export of any kind for rhythmic gymnastics: no PDF, no Excel, no CSV. Excel export does not exist for any sport on the platform. RGForm and LiveMeet are both built around exportable meet paperwork, and even a spreadsheet leaves you a file.
• KSIS runs a competition with the internet down. Their offline package, private judging Wi-Fi and head-judge laptop survive a dead line. JudgeMate is online only. Both approaches are legitimate: ours is lighter to carry, theirs keeps scoring when the building goes dark.
• RGScores handles production we do not touch. Music playlists ordered to match the performance order, work orders, and coaches tracking when their gymnasts are next on the floor.
• Our D panel is not the FIG D-jury. FIG uses four D-judges in two subgroups and sums DB and DA. JudgeMate averages entries on a single D panel, which is right for a club meet and is not the world-level procedure.
• Our A and E judges enter the final value, not the deduction total. FIG A- and E-judges submit deductions subtracted from 10.00. Same arithmetic, different ergonomics.
• Line and time judges are dedicated FIG roles. JudgeMate has one organizer-entered penalty field per routine instead.
• The all-around stops at the category boundary. There is no cross-category roll-up, and the results grid still labels columns Run 1 to Run N rather than by apparatus.
• Swiss Timing at FIG level is a different universe. Timing, judging terminals, scoreboards, commentator systems and TV graphics for World Championships are not procurable by a club, and nothing on this page pretends to compete for that work.
