About
Ianseo Scorekeeper NG is the official next-generation scoring companion app for the Ianseo Archery Competition Software — the world's most advanced open-source archery tournament management system, backed by the Italian Archery Federation and used globally. Designed for iPad and iPhone, the app empowers judges and archers to record scores directly at the target, eliminating paper scorecards and reducing data-entry errors. Using wireless communication, every score entered is instantly synced back to the central Ianseo server, giving event organizers live standings after each end. The app supports a comprehensive range of archery disciplines including Indoor Target, Outdoor Target, Field, and 3D Archery, as well as Round Robin Tournaments. It handles all competition phases: qualification rounds, elimination rounds, pools, individual matches, and team matches. Setup is fast and intuitive — a single QR code scan from a printed scorecard or the Ianseo software configures the device automatically. Multiple targets can be managed from one device, and the app can also be configured manually when connected to Ianseo. An electronic scorecard provides a full view of all arrows shot, end totals, distance totals, and running competition totals. The app is localized into many languages with additional language packs downloadable directly from Ianseo, making it suitable for international competitions. Built-in online help is accessible at any time. Ianseo Scorekeeper NG is an essential tool for archery federations, clubs, and event organizers who want to run professional, paperless competitions.
