DSE recommended Software
TopTurnier
TopTurnier is tested and approved for dance competitions by WDSF and DSE. It is managing all scrutineering jobs before, while and after a competition, e.g. alphabetic sorting of the startlist, calculating the results, printing of all reports and doing exports for internet.
TopTurnier is very flexible concerning the input of class names, competition forms etc. So you don’t need to buy immediately a new version after changes of WDSF rules. If a changed rule is not possible to manage with TopTurnier we will implement it into a new version as fast as possible. And with the purchase of TopTurnier you get a 12 months update service (12 months updates by download).
MarX
MarX is a full-cycle DanceSport competition management with digital adjudication, scrutineering and live results. Fully integrated with the DSE API. marx.dance
MarX is a complete competition management system for DanceSport: online registration and payments, check-in, timetabling, digital adjudication, scrutineering and live results. It supports the official scrutineering systems, multi-floor events and offline-first operation, and is fully integrated with the DSE API for direct exchange of competition data and official results.
Contaste
Contaste is WDSF-certified scrutineering and competition management software designed for flexible judging. Each category can be judged under its own system: the Skating System, WDSF AJS 3.0, or criteria-based scoring configured by the scrutineer – any number of criteria, each with its own weight and scale, and, where needed, different criteria for different judges in the same round. Scores can be aggregated in several ways – excluding the highest and lowest marks, simple average, median with tolerance – or converted into Skating System placings.
Judges mark on phones or tablets – in any browser, iPhone included, or in the Contaste Console app for Android, which also allows them to record voice notes on each performance through a headset. The same platform supports online competitions judged from participants’ videos.
Results are uploaded directly to the DanceSport Europe database via the DSE API, as well as to WDSF. On site, Contaste operates over a local Wi-Fi network and does not depend on an internet connection.
