Questions
The questions we hear most.
If yours is not here, ask us and we will answer it.
Which sports does Boutline run today?
Wrestling, under the UWW freestyle rules. Jiu jitsu, MMA, boxing and more are coming soon. If you run another sport, tell us and we will let you know when it is ready.
How much does it cost?
We are running pilots now and launch in Q4 2026. Interested in running a free pilot? Get in touch.
Which bracket types can we use?
The UWW formats are built in, and you can choose round robin, single or double elimination, pools then a knockout, three-wrestler brackets, best of three and placement for a division or a class. See them all.
What do we need on the day?
A phone for each job: scoring, and weigh-in or the door if you want them. A TV, tablet or laptop with a web browser for the scoreboard. The people running the event also use the website to set things up.
Does it work with no signal in the hall?
Weigh-in, scanning and scoring all keep working. The app downloads the athletes and passes first, keeps what you record, and sends it when the phone is back online, without counting anything twice. The TV scoreboard needs a connection to update, and holds still until it is back.
Which phones does the app run on?
Android and iPhone. During the pilot, clubs install a test version from an invitation. Store listings follow once the pilots are done. The website works on any computer, tablet or phone.
Can parents watch live scores in the app?
Parents and athletes see results in the app once a bout has finished. The live score is on the TV scoreboard in the hall.
How are children's details handled?
We ask for as little as we can. Staff on the day see only what their job needs, athletes under 18 need a parent or guardian on the account, and details are never sold or used for advertising. You can ask for an athlete's details to be removed. The privacy notice has the detail.
How do athletes get their passes?
Every entered athlete gets a QR pass in their family's account and in the app. Organizers can print passes too. Spectators and staff get passes as well.
Can we take payments through Boutline?
Not yet. For now the organizer collects any fees themselves, and can mark who has paid. Payments are planned for after the pilots.
What about livestreaming?
It is coming, but it is not built yet. A score overlay for your own livestream is the first step.
Does the TV scoreboard need special hardware?
No. It opens from a link in any web browser, so a TV with a browser, a laptop plugged into a TV, or a tablet on a stand will do.
We are a federation. Can we talk to you?
Yes, please. Rankings, member clubs and licensed athletes are things we want to shape with federations.
More about children's details is in the privacy notice.
