Set up matches, manage scoring in the field, and publish results instantly. DeadCenter is a free, modern scoring platform built for South African shooting competition organisers.
From creating a match to publishing final standings — DeadCenter handles the entire workflow.
Choose the scoring engine that fits your match format. More engines will be added as the platform evolves.
All relays complete each stage before advancing together. Distance-based target and gong multipliers reward accuracy at range. Includes gong transition screens, relay summary tables, and quick-add preset targets.
Hit/miss scoring with timed stages. Stage normalization enables relative performance comparison across different venues and conditions. Designed for competitive precision rifle series matches.
Static and ladder stage types with multi-shot per target and diminishing multipliers. Must-hit-to-advance ladder logic with shot-level data recording. Normalized percentage standings and furthest target hit tracking.
DeadCenter uses relative scoring to create fair, meaningful season standings that work across different matches, venues, and conditions.
After each match, every shooter's score is expressed as a percentage of the top shooter's score. The winner always scores 100%. A shooter with 80% of the winner's score gets a relative score of 80%.
This allows fair comparison across different matches — a 92% at a difficult venue is directly comparable to a 92% at an easier one.
From match setup to final standings — built for the range, not the office.
