The five-step wizard: event page, rulebooks (here IBJJF GI and NO-GI), categories generated from the rulebook, mats and rest times, summary.

Recordings of the real application on a demo event, with fictional athletes and teams. In the second clip the matches close in quick succession to fit into a few seconds; the last two show the same match, from the table and from the projector. The app is in Italian.

Off your plate

What you no longer have to do

The three things that keep an organiser awake the night before the event, KombatControl does for you. You're left with the competition. The images are the real application.

01 · Rulebook

The rulebook is already written

No more weight and age divisions, match times per belt, bronzes and tie-breaks copied from the federation's PDF. Turn the rulebook on and the event is born compliant, with all its categories. You change only your event's exceptions, and what you changed stays on record.

What differs between them →

Event wizard: the IBJJF, JJIF and FIJLKAM 2026 rulebooks, each with its own switch; BJJ GI and BJJ NO-GI turned on. — The event wizard: one switch per rulebook, and the categories come from there.

02 · Brackets

Brackets build themselves

After the scales there's nothing to draw: every category takes the format the rulebook sets for its entries — best of three, round robin or single elimination — and moves on by itself with every result from the table, repechage included.

Format, matches and mat of every category in one list
The winner moves into the next match by themselves

The categories of a BJJ competition: for each, the format set by the rulebook (best of three, round robin, single elimination), the number of matches and the assigned mat. — The categories of a BJJ competition, with format, matches and mat decided by the system.

03 · Schedule

It works out the mat schedule

No more timetable guessed by eye: categories are spread across the mats to balance the load, every match gets its time, and every athlete's rest counts even when they compete on two mats.

Each category stays on the same mat, from the first match to the final
Every mat knows whether it's ahead of or behind schedule

Competition schedule on three mats: for each, the matches still to fight, the on-time status and the queue with number, athletes and time of every match. — The queue of the three mats, as the organiser sees it.

Why KombatControl

Competition software is judged when the venue is full

Everyone promises registrations and brackets. The difference shows in the hours when all the mats are running at once.

Projected scoreboard during rest: a countdown for each of the two athletes and the time their rest ends.

FAQ

The questions we get asked most

All questions →

Is there an alternative to Smoothcomp or Sportdata?

Yes. KombatControl covers the same event cycle as Smoothcomp and Sportdata, but it is built around competition day: it counts every athlete's rest between two matches, works out whether each mat is ahead or behind after every finished match, logs result corrections and keeps the projector in step with the table. National federation rules, starting with FIJLKAM, sit on top of the international rulebook instead of replacing it.

What is KombatControl?

KombatControl is the platform for running martial arts competitions: online registration, weigh-ins, automatic brackets, a schedule across several mats, a referee table with a projected scoreboard, and live public pages. It comes from the first-hand experience of people who organise competitions.

How much does KombatControl cost?

The price list isn't public yet: we're defining it with the organisers in the founders programme, who keep their starting price. The demo on your event is free and with no commitment.
