Wrestling Scoring Technology: UWW Officiating Tablets, Mat Displays and Replay

UWW officiating workflow

United World Wrestling (UWW) events are scored by a panel of mat chairman, referee and judge. The chairman operates a tablet with paddle inputs that issue points, cautions, passivity warnings, and trigger the 30-second activity clock. Score is mirrored to the mat-side LED display, the central results system (UWW Arena), and the broadcast graphics in real time.

Mat setup checklist

• Mat chairman scoring tablet with UWW Arena or equivalent
• Mat-side LED scoreboard (two-sided so both corners can see), with shot clock and passivity clock
• Video challenge replay system — at least 4 cameras into a replay server (vMix Replay or a dedicated VAR setup) with a tablet at the coaches' corner to throw the challenge brick
• Central results desk publishing brackets and live results to the federation website
• Notifications feed for weigh-in confirmations, brackets, match calls and medal-round timings

Broadcast graphics for wrestling

Standard wrestling graphics: corner score bug with both wrestlers, points-per-period, passivity warning, activity clock, lower-thirds with seed/country flags, takedown / exposure stings, replay wipe for video challenges, end-of-bout result card.

Broadcast graphics typically include lower-thirds for athlete names and bios, an on-screen scoreboard or 'bug' fed live from the scoring system, dynamic start lists, results pages, head-to-head comparisons, sponsor bumpers, replay wipes, and end-of-session summary cards. Output is usually delivered over SDI from a graphics engine (vMix, Singular.live, CasparCG, or a federation-supplied template pack) into the ATEM or production switcher.
