Introduction
Ju-Jitsu is a versatile martial art and combat sport that combines striking, grappling, throwing, and submission techniques. Governed by the official Ju-Jitsu International Federation (JJIF) rules, competitions require accurate scoring, penalty management, and precise timekeeping to ensure fair and efficient match management.
The JJIF Ju-Jitsu Scoreboard and Point Panel is a digital scoring solution designed to help operators manage all aspects of a Ju-Jitsu match. The software allows operators to control the scoreboard, update 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 Ju-Jitsu Scoreboard features and explains the key functions required to successfully manage professional JJIF competitions, including match setup, scoring inputs, time management, penalty recording, and result confirmation.
