TKD Scoring System
System overview
The TKD Scoring System is an application that utilizes an intuitive user interface that makes
Taekwon-Do ITF competitions fast and efficient. This software provides different tools and
features to track the score of the competitors and store it for future analysis.
This program uses a client/server based model. The remote devices/controllers are the
clients who are connected wired/wireless to the local computer in the jury table.
This system can be connected to Android devices and any kind of controllers that are
compatible with the PC.
Acronyms and abbreviations

Wi-Fi – Wireless Fidelity. Wireless internet network technology allows computers and other
devices to be connected to each other on the Internet without wires and cables.
IP – Internet Protocol. A number address that is unique for every computer on a network.
LAN – Local Area Network. This is a network of computers that are located in close vicinity.
Port – A port number is a way to identify a specific process to which an Internet or other
network message is to be forwarded when it arrives at a server.
Router – Networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks.
Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet. Data sent through the internet
is in the form of data packets and it is forwarded between remote devices.
NAT – The router has a function called Network Address Translation, or NAT, built in. Inside
your network, computers have local addresses like 192.168.1.100. All addresses in the
192.168.* range (or in the 10.*) range are "private" addresses. These addresses are how
computers in your network communicate with the router and with each other. Your router has
a separate network interface that connects it to the internet. The router gets an external and
unique address from the ISP (Internet Service Provider). This is the address that your router
uses it to communicate with other devices over the internet. Computers inside of your
network have non-routable private IP addresses, meaning that if they send packets directly
to the internet the packets will automatically be dropped (packets with private addresses are
not allowed to traverse the internet for stability reasons). But your router has a routable
address. Network Address Translation, as its name suggests, translates between these two
kinds of addresses, allowing the multiple computers inside of your network to appear to the
internet as one computer with one address.
Port forwarding - All network connection requests include a "port". The port is a number,
and it is part of how a computer knows what the packet is. Port forwarding on your router
allows you to enter a port number and a local IP address. All incoming connections to the
router IP with a matching port number will be forwarded to the internal computer with that
local address. Port forwarding allows redirecting incoming messages/packets to a specific
device in the network.

System summary
Each jury table uses its own computer running Windows OS. Those computers will run the
server application that will be connected to several devices. The user may connect Android
devices using a Wi-Fi/Cellular network or any compatible PC controllers (Wired, Bluetooth, or
any other controller which is compatible with your OS).
System connection
Option 1: Wi-Fi Network
Download the TKD Umpires App in your Android devices:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=competition.tkdcenter.umpiresapp
The Android App is compatible with phones and tablets Android 5.0+.
All the devices should be connected to the same Wi-Fi network or ensure that the Android
devices have a cellular network and your Server PC is connected to a router with Port
Forwarding.

TKD Scoring System
• Select the “Next” button to confirm the installation.
• After installation complete, select the “Close” button. Then, run the new shortcut on your desktop.

TKD Scoring System
Using the Windows application
1. Settings
The server application can be connected to Android devices using a Wi-Fi network or to
controllers that are connected via USB/Bluetooth. Changing the settings will fit the
connection mode you have been selected.
1.1 Wi-Fi settings
Go to Tools -> Connection Mode -> Android.
Then, go to Tools -> Settings.
• Local Wi-Fi Network:
When this option is checked, all the Android devices should be connected to the same Wi-Fi
network that your PC is connected. The user should configure the same Local IP and Local
Port on Android devices.

TKD Scoring System
• External Network:
The user may connect devices that are not in the same Wi-Fi network (For example mobile
phones with cellular connection). In this case, uncheck “Local Wi-Fi Network” and configure
the External IP and External port on the Android devices. To use this feature the user needs
to configure “Port Forwarding” on the router. Port forwarding is needed to redirect the
packets from Android devices to the specific PC in the Wi-Fi network. Read about port
forwarding and then follow this tutorial to configure it.
• Note: Create an inbound and outbound rule for the local/external port on Windows Firewall.
1.2 Controller settings (Buttons Configuration)
Go to Tools -> Connection Mode -> Controllers.

TKD Scoring System
Then, go to Tools -> Settings. The user will see the buttons according to competition mode:

table may use the deduction buttons to reduce point(s) to the red/blue competitor. After
three deducted points the competitor can be disqualified according to Taekwon-Do ITF
rules. The system will ask for the umpire’s confirmation before disqualifying the
competitor. In case that the umpire decided to continue the match, the system will not
ask again to disqualify the competitor. To disqualify, the umpire can do it manually.

o Prevent deductions of not allowed points – For example deduction of 0.5 in

Level 1 or 0.2 in Level 2/3.
o Prevent point(s) deduction further than the maximum allowed in level –
For example deduction of 7 points in Level 1 (max 6 points allowed).

• Disconnection of a device from the server application:
o Delete umpire from the ring: Right click on umpire name -> Delete umpire.
o Reconnect: Close the Android app, restart Wi-Fi/Cellular network and reconnect.
o In case of failure, close the TCP connection in the PC server and reopen it (in this
case all the umpires should reconnect).
• Recommendations: The Android app disables the lock screen to prevent screen locking in
case that the umpire did not touch the device screen for a while. We suggest disabling
phone calls during the competition (Do Not Disturb mode in Android phones).
• Battery: To keep the battery life, reduce the screen brightness and charge the Android
device before the competition. In case of low battery, disable “vibration on click” is
recommended.
• Mismatch protocol: In case that the user receives a “mismatch protocol error” verify
that both applications versions (PC + Android) are the latest. Please contact us to get
the latest PC application. The latest Android application “TKD ITF UMPIRE” is
available in Google Play.
