Why Fencer

All the maths, handled. All the results, kept.

On paper, a competition is a lot of manual calculation, and it only gets worse with multiple pools, several rounds and a repechage. Fencer works out victories, indices, seeding and final placements as the results come in.

It also keeps them. A pool sheet tells you who won on the night; a season of them tells you something worth knowing. Every competition you run stays on record, ready for the stats and insights coming next.

How it works

Three steps, and the evening runs itself.

No setup, no import, no spreadsheet. You can start a competition on the drive to the club.

  1. Creating a competition in Fencer

    Create the competition in under a minute.

    Name, date, weapon. Then how many pool rounds, how many pools in each, and whether the day finishes with a direct elimination bracket, with or without a repechage.

  2. Participants joining a competition with a code

    Everyone can join from their own device.

    Share a join code and fencers add themselves. Nothing for you to type in. Anyone without an account can still be added as a guest.

  3. Entering a result from a phone

    Results go in from the piste.

    Participants enter and check their own scores from their own phones, and everyone sees the pool update live. Or run the whole thing from one shared device at the venue. Both work, and you can mix them.

And Fencer does the counting. Victories, indices, seeding for the next round and who meets who in the bracket, all worked out the moment a result lands.

What you get

Everything a real competition needs.

Full competition management, without the hassle of the old, bulky official admin tools.

Brackets that finish properly

Direct elimination with an optional repechage, so a single bad bout doesn't end someone's evening. Third place gets fenced for in a bronze match instead of being handed out on seeding, and final placements are worked out for you, right down to last.

Share the results in one tap

Export any pool sheet or tableau as an image and drop it straight into the club chat. It looks like a pool sheet because it is one, just one that doesn't get wet, torn or lost on the way home.

An exported pool sheet

All three weapons

Foil, épée and sabre, with the scoring each one expects.

As many pool rounds as you want

One pool of six, or three rounds that reseed as the evening goes on.

Change the format after people register

You never know who'll show up on a Tuesday. Add pools or drop a round right up until you generate.

Your competition history, kept

Every competition you fenced with an account stays on your profile. Nothing in a drawer.

Match tracker

Just tracking one bout? No account. No signal. No setup.

Open the app, pick a preset, and referee. The match tracker is a self-contained tool that sits outside the competition flow. A clock, the score, cards and priority, and nothing else in the way.

  • DE and Poule presets, or set your own periods and target score
  • Drag or tap to award a touch, and undo anything
  • Halt before you record, exactly like the real rules
  • Yellow, red and black cards handled properly
  • Draws, the extra minute and priority
  • Screen stays awake for the whole bout

What's coming

Every competition you run now is data you'll want later.

Think of it as Strava for fencing, but the history only exists if you start recording it. These are next up:

  • Planned

    Head-to-head records

    Every time you've fenced someone at the club, in one place. Who you beat last week, and who you've never beaten.

  • Planned

    Performance over a season

    Forty training competitions a year adds up to a real picture of your form: indices, placings, attendance, trends.

  • Planned

    Club accounts for coaches

    See how the whole squad is developing across a series, not just who won on the night.
