A complete toolkit for organizers

The organizer area follows the real flow of a tournament: teams – schedule – scoring – rankings – finals – awards – certificates. Rules follow the RECF game manual of each program (Engage, Achieve, ADC, ADC Pro); independent tournaments can change match counts, solo attempts and scoring options.

Team managementTeam list, check-in and robot inspection before the schedule is generated.
Automatic schedulingRandom alliance schedules under RECF rules: no repeat partners, no back-to-back matches, balanced fields; can sync from Google Sheets.
Live scoringEnter match and Solo (driving, coding) scores; results appear on the public page instantly.
Rankings & finalsAlliance and Solo rankings calculated by the rules, finals and awards.
QR-coded certificatesParticipation and award certificates, each with a unique code for verification.
Show screenAutoplay mode for venue screens, with organizer and sponsor logos.

Rehearse before the real thing: organizers can practice a whole tournament with sample teams – schedule, scoring, finals, awards and the show screen – with no account needed and nothing published. A large referee timer with beeps and preset timings for each program is also included.

Digital infrastructure for the STEM movement

EventSTEM aims to be a shared, easy-to-use tool that helps schools and clubs run well-organized, transparent tournaments: organizers focus on the competition, while students, parents and spectators follow results publicly and in real time.

EventSTEM supports RECF-format events but is not official RECF software. Global rankings are based on results submitted by Event Partners.
