Competition management and scoring software, in one platform
Most competitions run on a patchwork: a registration form, a scheduling spreadsheet, paper or a standalone scoring app for the judges, and a separate ticketing vendor for the audience. Eventist replaces the patchwork with one competition management system, so entries, heats, scores and spectator tickets all share one set of data.
Registration and heat grouping
Studios register dancers, pick divisions and pay in one checkout, and Eventist groups the entries into heats by age, level and category automatically. Registration tiers, early-bird windows and deposit payment plans are built in, and abandoned-cart recovery follows up with studios that started an entry and stopped.
AI scheduling with conflict checks
Draft the whole weekend from your entries and routine lengths in one pass, then drag heats around until the day reads right. Eventist checks every dancer against every other heat, so a soloist cannot be on stage and in a group number at the same time, and studios receive their schedule from the same data.
Live judge scoring and instant results
Judges and referees score each heat from their own phone or tablet, with criteria, comments and tie-breaks configured per division. Tabulation is instant, adjudication is logged, and results publish to the studio portal and the awards screen the moment you approve them.
Spectator tickets, staff and the backstage crew
Sell spectator passes for the day or the weekend alongside competitor entries, scan them from any phone at the door, and run walk-up sales through the built-in POS. Backstage, stage managers and volunteers get their own roles, a task board for the build-up and a read-only run-of-show that calls the next heat.
Dance competition software on Eventist is a flat fee per ticket, never a percentage, with no monthly subscription and no setup fee. The competition package is $7 USD per ticket with bulk pricing from $2.99 CAD, and card processing runs through Stripe or Square. You keep your studio and spectator data, and support comes from real people at a Canadian company that prices in USD.

Dance competition software FAQ
What is dance competition software?
Dance competition software is the system a competition director uses to take studio registrations, build divisions and heats, schedule the weekend, collect judges' scores and publish results, and sell spectator tickets. It replaces the spreadsheet, the separate ticketing vendor and the paper tabulation that most competitions still run on. Eventist covers every one of those steps in one competition management system, so a change to a heat updates the schedule, the judge tablets, the studio portal and the live results at the same time.
How much does competition management software cost on Eventist?
Eventist charges a flat fee per ticket, never a percentage, with no monthly subscription and no setup fee. The competition package is $7 USD per ticket, with bulk pricing from $2.99 CAD at volume, and covers registration, divisions, scheduling, live scoring, judge dashboards, music uploads, staff management and spectator ticketing. Card processing goes through Stripe or Square at their published rate.
How do studios register their dancers?
Studio owners register from their own portal: they add dancers, choose divisions and categories, upload music and pay online. Eventist groups entries into heats automatically by age, level and category, and each studio sees its own schedule and results once they are published, so the director stops fielding the same email fifty times.
Can judges score from a phone or tablet?
Yes. Each judge or referee gets a dashboard on their own phone or tablet, sees the current heat, enters scores and comments, and moves on. Scores tabulate the moment the last judge submits, so results are ready when the heat ends rather than after an hour of adding up sheets.
Does it handle scheduling and heat changes?
Yes. Build the weekend by drag and drop or let the AI scheduler draft it from your entries and routine lengths, and Eventist flags a dancer booked in two places at once. Move a heat and the studio schedule, the judge dashboards and the backstage run-of-show update together, and studios can be notified of the change automatically.
Is it only for dance competitions?
No. The same divisions, heats, judge scoring and spectator ticketing run cheer, gymnastics, martial arts, music and sport competitions. Any event where competitors register, are grouped, are scored and are watched by a paying audience fits the competition package.
Who owns the studio and spectator data?
You do. Every studio contact, dancer entry and spectator order belongs to your organization. Export it whenever you like or connect it to your own email marketing; it stays yours from one season to the next.
