Founders programme

We set up the first events together with you

We're choosing the organisers who will bring KombatControl to its first competitions. It's designed by people who run competitions, and you won't prepare yours alone: we work alongside you on your event, and your starting price stays locked when the service opens.

  • Guided setup: we load your event's rulebook, categories and mats with you.
  • Locked price: the terms you start with stay yours even when the price list goes public.
  • Your event sets the priorities: what your event needs moves up in development.
  • Free demo on your numbers: your federation, your categories, your mats. No commitment.

From event to podium

What you do, what KombatControl does

Five phases, and in none of them do you copy what was in the previous one.

  1. Weeks before

    Create the event

    You
    Choose the date, venue and number of mats, and turn the rulebook on.
    KombatControl
    Generates all the rulebook's categories, with match times, scoring, bronzes and tie-breaks. You change only the exceptions.

    Event wizard: the IBJJF, JJIF and FIJLKAM 2026 rulebooks, each with its own switch.
  2. Weeks before

    Open registrations

    You
    Publish the event and share the link.
    KombatControl
    Athletes register naming their club and choosing their categories; the list is always up to date, and entries can be approved several at a time.
    Event progress as the organiser sees it: draft, published, registration open, registration closed, running.
  3. At the scales

    Weigh in

    You
    Record each athlete's weight, once.
    KombatControl
    Links it to the athlete, applies the federation's model, before or during the event, and flags the categories to fix, with the category change on the athlete's row.
    Weigh-ins: athlete cards with the verified weight, the category and the Change category and Re-weigh commands.
  4. Before the start

    Start

    You
    Start the competition.
    KombatControl
    Brackets from the valid entries, in the rulebook's format; categories spread across the mats to balance the load, with every match's time and rests respected.
    Brackets and schedule →
    The categories of a BJJ competition: for each, the format set by the rulebook, the number of matches and the assigned mat.
  5. Competition day

    Live competition

    You
    The tables referee from the app.
    KombatControl
    The bracket moves on by itself, projector and public pages follow, and the standings fill in with the federation's shared placings.
    Competition day →
    Projected scoreboard during the rest between two matches, with the countdown for each athlete.
FAQ

The questions we get asked most

All questions →
How do you run a BJJ competition with KombatControl?

In five steps: create the event by choosing the rulebook, open registrations with a link, record the weigh-ins, generate the brackets and spread the categories across the mats, then run the competition live up to the podium. Categories, match times, scoring and bronzes come from the chosen rulebook, not from manual settings.

What is the founders programme?

It is how the first competitions start on KombatControl: we set up your event's rulebook, categories and mats with you, and the price you start with stays locked even when the price list goes public. Places are limited, because we follow every event closely.

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.

Where is athletes' data stored?

In the European Union: the servers are in the Hetzner datacentre in Falkenstein, Germany, and no transfer outside the European Economic Area is planned. It matters, because minors compete too.

Demos run on sample data or on an export of your event, which we delete on request at the end of the session. Processing is described in the privacy policy.

Apply with your event

Federation, date, expected entries and number of mats: we'll reply with a demo built on those numbers.
