FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TKD Scoring Wi-Fi PRO Releases Feb 2022 Updates

Feb 22nd, 2022. From today, the Taekwondo World will be able to enjoy the new generation of Taekwondo Scoring Wi-Fi PRO.

The new product has required three years of R&D. Our new PRO version of our most popular low-cost Wireless Electronic Scoring Software has not just had a simple upgrade to the existing version, but now has a completely new redesigned solution. This new solid solution utilises new technologies for backend processing and the user interface, making use of the new Points Processor 'Rules-Pro' which has been fully redesigned by Scoring Wi-Fi development team to improve the speed and accuracy of the score processing, resulting in time processing reduction. It involves using a dynamic rules management engine during the points processing in order to allow the users to choose/change/configure or modify the events submitted by referees’ mobiles and the points allocated for each event.

The PRO version now also supports dynamic referee UI controller configuration. In the old product, the controller was supporting only either 2 or 4 buttons already preconfigured by our software. The referee mobile UI was static, the users had no option to modify the predefined referee screen.

In our new solution, the number, the behaviour, the look and feel of the referee mobile buttons are fully configurable from the server side, making the new version usable for other sports as well; it also makes the product reconfigurable if the rules of the Taekwondo competition change overtime. The new server solution increases the user's experience and usability through the new Material Design implementation of the user interface that also solves the scalability issues for computers with high resolution screens. It uses a newer and much faster redesigned scoring engine (Rules-Pro) which processed & displays the points even faster than on the previous already popular system.

The new Tournament Planner is replacing the old competition management module used by Martial Arts Scoring Wi-Fi. Included Tournament Planner is using SQL and is built in top of an embedded Relational database management system (RDBMS). The product is coming with an embedded database ready to use out of the box. The user can configure the server to use an external SQL database and can configure multiple servers to share the same database if they run more than one court for a tournament.

Using the relational database, Scoring Wi-Fi is organizing data into tables which are linked—or related—based on data type. Using the SQL database, the Planner provides the ability to the users to generate meaningful report in no-time and to extract and/or import meaningful data directly into the tables.

Taking advantage of the embedded SQL database, the new PRO Server is recording, along the score, every single score event received from the referees.

Summary of the new features Scoring Wi-Fi PRO 1.0.0 brings to you:

• Material Design UI.
• Embedded SQL database
  • Can be switched to use the customers database.
• Customizable Referee UI.
• • Customizable number of buttons
  • Customizable buttons layout
  • Customizable scoring points for each button.
  • Simple and easy to use referee Layout UI designer
