scorejudge.com is Now Live
scorejudge.com is officially available. We built it to simplify competition judging for hackathons, talent shows, pitch competitions, and any event that needs fair, transparent scoring.
Why We Built It
Over the past year, we kept hearing the same frustrations from event organizers:
- Collecting scores on paper or unwieldy spreadsheets
- Manually calculating totals while audiences wait
- Complex judging software that requires extensive training
- No way to engage audiences during the scoring process
Our real-time scoring technology was a natural fit for these problems. So we built scorejudge.com.
How It Works
Each judge gets a unique link — no passwords, no account creation. They click the link and start scoring immediately from any device. Scores update instantly as judges submit them, so you can display the live leaderboard on screens or share it online as rankings shift.
Judges score independently without seeing each other's ratings. As the organizer, you have full visibility and control throughout. When it's over, download all scores and results as a CSV for record-keeping, analysis, or participant feedback.
The setup takes under five minutes: add your contestants, judges, and scoring criteria, then send each judge their scorekeeper link.
Where You Can Use It
Hackathons and Demo Days
Score teams on innovation, execution, presentation, or any criteria you choose. The live scoreboard keeps energy high as participants and the audience watch rankings update in real-time.
Talent Shows and Performances
From school talent shows to professional dance competitions, judges can evaluate multiple aspects of each performance. Live rankings add excitement that a paper ballot system simply can't match.
Science Fairs and Academic Contests
Streamline judging for STEM competitions, debate tournaments, and academic contests. Export detailed results for awards ceremonies and participant feedback.
Startup Pitch Competitions
Enable investor panels to evaluate business models, teams, and market potential with structured scoring. Track which startups are leading throughout the event.
Cooking and Creative Competitions
Judge dishes on taste, presentation, creativity, and any other criteria specific to your competition — with full scoring transparency for participants afterward.
Peer-to-Peer Judging
Enable participants to score each other's work, making it useful for classroom presentations, team exercises, and collaborative evaluations.
Scoring Options
Choose any scoring scale that fits your event — 1–10, 1–100, decimals, or multiple criteria. Configure it exactly how you need it.
Pricing
We designed pricing to work for events of all sizes:
- Free to Start: Test with up to 3 judges, no credit card required
- Pay-Per-Event: For one-time competitions
- Annual Plans: Best value for organizations running multiple events
While enterprise judging platforms often cost thousands and require extensive setup, scorejudge.com is accessible and affordable for everyone — from school events to professional competitions.
