A whole competition, not five programs

Run your dance competition, from registrations to results

Running a dance competition means lining up hundreds of entries, collecting payments, building a timetable that fits the day, getting the judges to vote and handing out results before the hall empties. Each of these usually has its own tool. Here they are steps of the same event: the data entered at registration travels all the way to the official report.

Competitions as your rules describe them

Each competition has its discipline, age category, levels, types and the formations it accepts.

Formations

Solo, duo and couples, group, pro-am, teacher & student: each competition says which it accepts.

Prices the way you want

Tiers that change with the number of entries, exceptions per competition, per level or per type, and coupons for whoever you choose.

Links between competitions

If entering one competition requires entering others too, you declare it once and the system rejects an incomplete order.

From Excel and from last year

Competitions can be imported from Excel, and for the next edition you clone the event with venues, competitions and price lists ready.

Registrations and payments you do not recount

Schools and dancers register online, and each entry arrives already paid and checked.

Schools enter their dancers

The list of dancers stays in the account and is reused at every competition; it can also be loaded from Excel.

Ages and categories checked

The age check, with the tolerance for out-of-range dancers that you decide, runs on the server while people fill in the form.

Music uploaded at registration

If the competition asks for it, the MP3 track is uploaded with the entry or by the date you set; a file that is too long is rejected.

Card, PayPal, bank transfer and credit

You choose the methods for each event, and you can absorb the fees or pass them on to the entrant.

Competition day

Numbers, timetable, judging and results all come from the same entries.

Competition numbers assigned

Every soloist, couple or group gets its number at registration, with no lists to fill in on the morning.

Timetable from the entries

The timetable is built by dragging the competitions that have entries, with durations estimated from the music, and spread across the stages.

Judging and voting from a phone

Judges vote from a web page, with the Skating System or scores on criteria; the chairperson runs rounds and finals.

Official reports and results

Results and the official report come out as PDF and Excel; the ones you publish can be downloaded from the event page without signing up.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to run a competition with DanceMatik?
Publishing the event is free, and registrations carry a commission you can absorb or pass on to the entrant. Publishing the timetable and running judging and voting live beyond the first competitions are paid services, bought per event.
Can I try the judging system before paying?
Yes. Building the timetable and setting up the judges is free, and running and voting can be tried on the first competitions of the event. Trial reports carry a «DEMO» mark until you activate the full service.
Can the public see the results live?
No, there is no public live scoreboard. After the competition you publish results and reports as PDFs on the event page, and anyone can download them without signing up; in the hall you can project the competition in progress from a staff-only screen.
Can competitions count towards a championship?
Yes. A competition can be a leg of a championship, and its results become points in the overall ranking.
Do judges or staff need an app?
No. Judging, running the competition and entry control work in the browser of a phone or tablet.
