Handball tournament software and live scoring

Officials record each goal on the Zeetius multi-sport scoresheet, which also runs the match clock. The scoresheet sends the moments the clock starts and stops rather than repeatedly sending the time, so every screen following the match works out the same time from the same events, even after a dropped connection.

On the Zeetius live score page a handball match appears as a card with the two teams, the score, the running clock and the period: first half, half-time, second half or extra time. Where a shootout is played, its score is shown beneath the main score.

Because the score and the clock come from the scoresheet at the table, the live card follows the match as the timekeeper and scorekeeper run it, through half-time, the second half and any extra time. Parents, club members and team managers who cannot be at the venue can follow every court of a championship from the public live score page, and the result is published as soon as the match ends.

Most handball tournaments start with groups and finish with a knockout. Zeetius Tournaments generates pools and round-robin fixtures from your entries, seeds teams from rankings or previous results, and draws the group qualifiers into a bracket for the semi-finals and final.

Because a handball match can end level, group tables usually award points for a draw as well as a win, then separate teams on head-to-head results and goal difference. The points system and the tie-break order are configured for each event to follow your competition rules.

League seasons, such as a club or district league played over several months, can be set up as a single or double round robin. Fixtures are published in advance, the table is updated after each round, and the same team records carry forward into the knockout championships later in the season.

• Groups and knockouts. Fixtures generated from entries, with qualifiers carried into the bracket.
• Points for draws. Group tables that reflect how your competition rewards a drawn match.
• Tie-breaks. Head-to-head and goal difference applied in the order your rules set.

A handball federation registers players, clubs and referees, sanctions events and publishes rankings. Zeetius Federation keeps one record for every member, with renewals, transfers between clubs and a complete history, and districts and clubs can have their own logins while the federation sees every member and every event.

Membership fees and entries are paid online and recorded against the member, and email and SMS notifications go out automatically. Referees are accredited in the same system and nominated for the events they are qualified to officiate. Rankings and certificates are prepared from real results.

Handball clubs and academies can run their coaching on Zeetius Academy: batches by age, attendance and assessments recorded by coaches on the mobile app, and fees, coach payroll and claims in the same system. Parents see their own child's attendance, assessments and fees, and nothing else.

For national or multi-day championships, Zeetius Connect handles accreditation, accommodation, meals and transport for teams and officials, with QR codes scanned at entry.
