Competition Corner is an end-to-end competition management platform built to handle every aspect of running an event — from the moment registration opens to the final results on the leaderboard. Whether you're running a local throwdown with 50 athletes or a global championship with thousands of competitors, Competition Corner scales to meet the demands of your event.

Everything you need is in one place. No piecing together separate tools for registration, scoring, payments, and results — Competition Corner handles it all.

Built for Any Size Event

Competition Corner is designed to grow with you. The same platform that powers small community events also powers some of the world's largest and most complex competitions. You don't need a bigger plan or a different tool as your event scales — the features are available to every organizer from day one.

Who Uses Competition Corner?

Competition Corner was built for the fitness competition community and has become the platform of choice for a wide range of event formats and disciplines:

  • Functional Fitness — From local throwdowns to large-scale open competitions, organizers running functional fitness events rely on Competition Corner to manage the complexity of multi-division, multi-workout formats. This includes the full spectrum of events in the CrossFit and Hyrox-style competition space.

  • Fitness Racing — High-intensity racing formats that blend strength, conditioning, and endurance. Competition Corner handles the unique scoring and heat management demands these events require.

  • Weightlifting — Competitions built around Olympic weightlifting, with scoring and divisional structures tailored to the sport.

  • Obstacle Course Racing — OCR events with large athlete fields, wave starts, and timing integrations are well suited to Competition Corner's heat management and results infrastructure.

  • Parkour — Organizers running parkour competitions have used Competition Corner to manage athlete registration, judging, and live results.

  • Gym In-House Competitions — One of the most popular uses of the platform. Gyms run internal competitions to build community, reward members, and keep athletes engaged between major events. Competition Corner makes it easy to spin up a professional competition experience without a dedicated events team.

If your event involves athletes, scores, and a leaderboard — Competition Corner is built for it.

What Can You Do with Competition Corner?

Registration & Athlete Management
Build and manage your registration experience end-to-end. Set up divisions, pricing tiers, early bird pricing, promo codes, waitlists, waivers, and custom registration fields. Manage individual athletes and teams, handle division changes, and communicate directly with your athletes and volunteers from within the platform.

Payments & Payouts
Competition Corner uses Stripe as its payment processor, meaning registration fees go directly from your athletes into your Stripe account — Competition Corner never holds your money. Payouts are real time, and the platform supports multiple currencies and a wide range of payment methods to support events around the world.

Retail & Spectator Ticketing
Competition Corner goes beyond athlete registration. Sell spectator tickets and retail merchandise directly through the platform, giving you a single system to manage all revenue streams for your event. Whether it's general admission, VIP passes, or event merchandise, everything is handled in one place — no third-party ticketing tools required.

Scoring
Support for a wide range of scoring formats — time, reps, weight, points, and custom formats. Score on-site events in real time, manage online score submissions with video validation, import scores via CSV, or connect external timing systems through the API for fully automated live scoring. Multiple scorekeepers can work simultaneously, and a full appeals process is built in.

Heat Management & Scheduling
Build and manage your heat schedule with ease. Automatically generate heats, assign athletes, set start times, and re-assign heats based on rankings between workouts. Print schedules, score cards, and check-in sheets directly from the platform.

Invitation Management
For events that use an online qualifier to feed into a live final, Competition Corner's Invitation Management system handles the entire process. Qualify athletes based on leaderboard standings, send invitations directly through the platform, and manage acceptances — including team drafting for team-based finals. The qualifier and the final event stay connected within the same system.

The Leaderboard
Real-time leaderboards that update as scores come in. Filter by division, age, country, or affiliate. Combine multiple events into a single leaderboard, set qualifying lines, manage tiebreakers, and control exactly when results are made public. Display results on Smart TVs and embed them on your own website.

Online & Virtual Competitions
Run online qualifiers and virtual events with the same platform. Set submission deadlines, require video proof, enable community video review, and manage the entire judging and review process remotely. Invite qualifiers directly to your finals event.

Broadcast & Live Streaming
Competition Corner includes a suite of broadcast tools designed to streamline live streaming production for your event. Automated data feeds deliver real-time information directly to your broadcast overlay — including lane assignments, live workout results as they are scored, and overall standings as they update. This eliminates the need for manual data entry during a broadcast and ensures your audience always sees accurate, up-to-date results on screen. Whether you're running a single-camera local stream or a full production broadcast, Competition Corner gives your team the data layer to make it happen.

Volunteer & Vendor Management
Set up volunteer registration forms, manage access levels, and organize vendor packages — all from within your event dashboard.

Event Branding
Customize your event's look and feel with your own colors, fonts, and imagery through Visual Settings. Create a cohesive branded experience for your athletes from registration through to the results page.

The Competition Corner Mobile App

The Competition Corner mobile app is your command center on event day. Designed for the fast-moving environment of a live competition, the app puts key event management tools in your hands — wherever you are on the floor.

  • Athlete Check-In — Check in athletes quickly and efficiently using QR code scanning directly from the app. No paper lists, no manual lookups.

  • Spectator Ticket Scanning — Scan and validate spectator tickets at the door in real time, keeping entry fast and accurate.

  • Event Day Command Center — Monitor your event as it unfolds. Access key event data, manage athletes, and stay on top of what's happening across your competition — all from your phone.

On-Site & Online Events

Competition Corner supports both in-person and online/virtual competitions. Many organizers use it for both — running an online qualifier to seed athletes into an in-person final, all managed within the same platform.

We're Only Successful When You Are

Competition Corner operates on a simple pricing model — we only charge when you charge. There are no monthly fees, no feature paywalls, and no tiered plans. Every feature is available to every organizer. Our fee is taken as a percentage of registration revenue, which means our success is directly tied to yours.
