About
MartialMatch is a purpose-built event management platform for combat sports organizers of all sizes. It eliminates the manual work of running tournaments by automating the most time-consuming tasks: registration intake, competitor seeding, bracket generation, and fight scheduling — all within seconds. The platform has powered 700+ events featuring 70,000+ competitors and 250,000+ tracked fights. Organizers can create a new event in minutes, accept registrations with automated payment processing via Stripe and Przelewy24, and have brackets auto-generated and ready before fight day. Real-time bracket updates keep athletes and fans informed as results come in. When last-minute changes occur — a no-show, a weight class switch, or a schedule delay — MartialMatch automatically adjusts brackets, schedules, and fight lists without any manual redrawing. The platform supports a wide range of disciplines including BJJ, MMA, Grappling, Wrestling, Judo, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and Taekwondo, each with sport-specific scoring rules and bracket configurations. Staff management features let organizers invite team members at different permission levels (owner, organizer, or technician), and the fully mobile-responsive interface enables on-the-go event management from any device. MartialMatch is ideal for individual tournament organizers, martial arts academies, and national or international federations looking to professionalize their events without the burden of monthly subscription fees.
