Sambo is a dynamic combat sport that combines elements of judo, wrestling, and martial arts, with competitors using throws, holds, and control techniques to score points and achieve victory. Governed by the official International Sambo Federation (FIAS) rules, accurate scoring, match timing, and penalty management are essential for ensuring fair and efficient competition.
The FIAS Sambo Scoreboard and Point Panel is a digital scoring solution designed to help operators manage all aspects of a Sambo match. The software allows operators to control the scoreboard, update technical points, record penalties, manage match time, display athlete information, and ensure that official match data is accurately presented to referees, athletes, coaches, and spectators.
This guide provides an overview of the Sambo Scoreboard features and explains the key functions required to successfully manage professional FIAS Sambo competitions, including match setup, scoring inputs, time management, penalty recording, and result confirmation.
