Score Judo - a Free Judo Scoreboard for your PC |
Score-Judo was developed in Australia as an application for use by all bona fide judo clubs free of charge.
STOP PRESS! - Version 3.5 released 8 August 2008
(see download page)
Whilst few clubs can raise the many thousands of dollars needed for an electronic scoreboard, most can put their hands on a standard laptop or desktop computer and perhaps an overhead projector or large monitor. Score-judo is designed to look and behave in exactly the same way as an actual electronic scoreboard, limited only by how huge a monitor you can lay your kumikata ravaged paws on. For the sound effects to be useful, a good sound system or external set of powered speakers is necessary and can usually be purchased for less than $50
Development of Score-judo will be ongoing, subject to reasonable acceptance by clubs and plentiful feedback to the author on desired improvements and bug reports, which to date have been plentiful and extremely helpful (thank you all). Whilst the licence attached to Score-judo allows any club, or any member or player or official of a club to download and use the software free of charge, it does not permit you to resell or profit from it. Parent organisations, training bodies and coaches are also welcome to download and use the software for the purposes of training competitors, referees and other officials. When encouraging others to use the software, we ask that you point them to this website to download the latest copy rather than give them a copy of your software, unless you are certain you have the complete installation package in the latest release and can guarantee the user that your copy has not been infected with a virus of any kind.
Our thanks go to the many who have helped with suggestions and technical advice for this project, including Danny Tini, Steve Potter, Cliff Illingsworth, Charlie Laidlaw, Alan Foley, Alain Legrand and Marilyn Dunstan.
