Scoreboard for Taekwondo

May 9, 2026, 11:00:00 PM UTC

What is the Taekwondo scoreboard for?

The Taekwondo scoreboard is designed for kyorugi fights between two competitors: red and blue. It combines the fight timer, round information, Taekwondo scoring buttons, Gam-jeom penalties, and the final fight result in one screen.

How does MartialMatch support Taekwondo?

Dedicated red and blue scoreboard

The scoreboard shows both competitors side by side, with large point totals, Gam-jeom counters, the current round, and the fight timer.

Three rounds

Taekwondo fights are run as 3 rounds. In the standard setup this means 3 x 2 minutes with a 60-second break between rounds. When a round ends, the scoreboard starts the break timer automatically. After the break, stopping the break timer moves the fight to the next round.

Taekwondo-specific scoring

The scoring buttons follow the common Taekwondo point values:

Action Points
Punch +1
Body kick +2
Head kick +3
Turning body kick +4
Turning head kick +5

A correction button is also available to subtract 1 point when a score was added by mistake.

Gam-jeom penalties

Use the Gam-jeom controls to add or remove penalties. When a competitor receives a Gam-jeom, the scoreboard increases that competitor's penalty counter and automatically adds 1 point to the opponent. Removing the penalty also removes that opponent point.

Golden Round

After the third round the scoreboard checks the scores automatically:

  • If the scores are tied, a 60-second break starts automatically. When the break ends, the scoreboard enters Golden Round mode and the timer counts down from 1 minute. If a competitor scores 2 or more points during the Golden Round, the timer stops automatically. The table operator then finishes the fight manually using the Finish fight button. If the 1 minute expires without either competitor reaching 2 points, the referee decides the winner.
  • If one competitor leads, the fight stops normally after round 3 with no Golden Round.

Live display

The controller screen and read-only display stay synchronized. This lets the table operator control the fight while a separate screen shows the current score, penalties, round, and timer to athletes, coaches, and spectators.

Finishing the fight

Click Finish fight when the referee has decided the result. The Taekwondo result stores:

  • the winner,
  • the finish type, such as points, knockout, TKO, or disqualification,
  • the round number,
  • the fight time,
  • points for both competitors,
  • Gam-jeom counts for both competitors.

After the result is saved, event administrators can review the fight result in the event panel.
