How much does it cost?
HEMA Tools is free to use. To support the project, we encourage an optional donation equivalent to one entry fee for your tournament, as a contribution that reflects the scale of your event. You can also help the project grow by testing new features, sharing feedback or spreading the word in your community.
What equipment do we need?
You’ll need an Internet connection, a computer or tablet to manage the tournament, and smartphones for the judges. To record matches with score overlays, use Android smartphones. For live streaming, you’ll need a computer and cameras.
Can we use our own rules?
Yes. Configure your tournament rules and format to fit your event. Feel free to ask for help on Discord when setting up your tournament. New rules can also be added: tell us what you need!
