Gymnastics competition scoring software for UK clubs

Digital judging, without the setup overhead

Traditional gymnastics judging software requires dedicated hardware, specialist installation, or a technical administrator on the day. ChalkItUp runs in a browser. Judges open a link on any phone or tablet, enter a competition code and a four-digit PIN, and they're scoring within seconds. It works as a scoring app with nothing to download. No accounts to create in advance. The whole panel can be running in under ten minutes from first login. Once a panel is signed in, it stays signed in all day: through the screensaver, a locked screen or a lunch break.

Score entry follows the format your judges already work in. Simple mode takes one total score. D+E mode splits difficulty and execution. D+E+ND adds neutral deductions — the full FIG WAG format. For execution judges working in deduction mode, the system takes the deduction value and calculates the E score automatically, matching the way most judges are trained to think. If a tablet fails or a judge scores on paper, the desk enters the score directly, and judges can mark a gymnast as withdrawn from an apparatus without leaving the panel.

Competition management software that keeps you in control

ChalkItUp is gymnastics meet management software built around the reality of competition day. The admin dashboard shows, in one place: who's checked in, how many scores are pending, where the gaps are, and whether scoring integrity checks are clean. Clicking any alert takes you directly to the gymnast or panel that needs attention — no hunting through menus.

Score visibility is separate from score entry. You decide when scores appear on the public leaderboard. Hold them until after the medal ceremony, release them to coaches first via a PIN-protected coach view, or publish automatically as each rotation completes. Rankings can be held separately from scores, so clubs can verify the numbers are correct before the finishing order is announced.

Entries arrive without a spreadsheet. Invite clubs from inside the app and they submit their own gymnasts through a PIN link, into a queue you approve. Enter a date of birth and the age group is worked out for you, and kept right if the competition date moves; dates of birth are deleted automatically after the event. Build the running order by dragging gymnasts into rotations, give out bib numbers in order with one button, and export every entry to Excel when you need it.

Live gymnastics results for spectators and clubs

The public leaderboard is a link. Copy it from the competition dashboard and put it on screens in the venue, text it to coaches, or post it in the club group chat. It loads on any device, updates automatically as scores come in, and shows all-around rankings alongside per-apparatus results with D/E breakdown. On a phone, a tray at the bottom steps through rounds and categories, and levels are colour-coded.

A coach view filters to one club's gymnasts only, behind the club's own PIN. The invite link signs a coach in with one tap. Parents get the running order too, in a digital programme they open on their own phone. A separate announcer mode — designed for use at the results table — shows large gymnast cards in a 3-column grid with tick-off tracking for each medal category. For venue displays, the Live Scoreboard feature runs on a big screen or projector, rotating through categories and updating automatically throughout the competition.

Multiple E judges and shared device scoring

Competitions running separate D and E panels are fully supported. Each E judge logs in with their own PIN and submits independently; the system averages scores automatically and applies drop-high/low when four or more E judges are used. For events where all E judges share a single tablet, shared device mode lets every judge enter scores on one iPad using a single Device PIN — no individual accounts needed.

With Judge Entry, each score waits for the whole panel before it counts. The Live tab shows which judge you're waiting on, and a late score comes to you to add or discard, so published results only change when you choose.

Who it's for

ChalkItUp is built for UK gymnastics clubs and organisers, from an in-house grading to a multi-session regional competition. You define the apparatus, so it works for WAG, MAG or your own format, with multiple rounds, team scoring and separate D and E panels. Keep it simple or make it as bespoke as you like.

The free trial lets you run the whole thing end to end, from the setup wizard and entries to live judging and the public leaderboard, with up to ten gymnasts, before you choose a plan.

In trial: multi-level gymnasts. One gymnast, one bib, a different level on each apparatus, each ranked in its own level and age group. Ask us if your competition needs it.

Results export to a formatted spreadsheet or a print-ready PDF, with medal colouring, D/E/ND breakdown per apparatus, and one page per level. If your club runs competitions and you're still managing scores on a spreadsheet or paying for software that takes half a day to configure, ChalkItUp is worth thirty minutes of your time.
