What it is

A complete tournament system for the people who run events. Not just an app, but the operator's console and the field kit that goes with it, built to take a paintball tournament from the first draw to the final score on one screen.

Right now it isn't something you install. It's a service. I bring Verdict and the field kit to your event and I run the scoring for the day, so you get the whole system without buying, learning or looking after any of it.

What it does

• Set up your series once, then open each round and pull the teams straight from Genesis.
• Build the draw in seconds, and print it clean for the day.
• Run the day on a live match timer, with a scoreboard for the crowd and broadcast overlays for anyone streaming it.
• Send the finished results back into Genesis, so your season builds itself and nothing gets typed twice.

Where it's at

I'll be straight about this, the way I am everywhere else on the site. The console is built. You can click a tournament through it from end to end, the series, the teams, the draw, the timer, the scoreboard. It is deployed and in testing right now.

It has now run a real tournament day, a full round with its finals, start to finish. The field kit is built too.

This is still one person building it, and I would rather show you exactly where it stands than dress it up. It is a working system being proven event by event, not a finished box on a shelf. That is why I run it myself for now, and why a wider release is a 2027 job rather than something I am going to rush at you.

What I'm building toward

One screen that runs a whole tournament day. The draw is set and the clock starts from it. The crowd watches a live scoreboard, and anyone streaming pulls a clean overlay off the same feed. When the last point lands, the result is already in Genesis and a graphic is ready to post. No clipboards, no spreadsheet at midnight, no arguing a score from memory.

The outcome I want

More tournaments, run better. I want the operators who carry this scene to spend their day running paintball, not fighting paperwork, and I want an event to look and feel like the real sport it is. If Verdict makes it easier to put on a good tournament, more of them happen, and the whole scene grows. That is the point of the entire thing.

Why you'd want me running it

You already know where a tournament day bites.

• The draw takes too long by hand, and it falls apart the moment entries change on the morning.
• A round runs late, and the paper schedule collapses for everyone behind it.
• A ref call comes down to whose memory is loudest.
• The event ends and there is nothing clean to put online.

Verdict is built to take all of that off you, and having me run it takes it off you twice over. You put your event on. I turn up with the kit, build the draw, run the clock, keep the scoreboard honest and hand you a finished set of results at the end of it. Nothing to set up, nothing to learn on the morning, and nobody on your staff tied to a laptop all day.

Your results go into Genesis, so your series builds its own record season after season. And each one turns into a graphic with the team logos on it, ready to post, so your event has a proper presence online without anyone opening a design tool.

How to get involved

If you run a series or a field and you'd like your next event scored properly, get in touch and we'll talk about the day. I'm taking on a small number of events while it's early, because I want to do each one properly rather than spread myself thin, and what happens at those events shapes what gets built next.

I'm not selling you software, so there's no licence and nothing to install. It's a day's work at your event, priced for the day, and we'll agree that between us before anything is booked.

Who's running this?

Verdict is built and run by me, through Original Sin Paintball. It isn't tied to any one series or field, and I don't take sides. Whoever's event it is, it gets scored the same way. If it's going to run your tournament, it should be built around what your day actually needs, so tell me how you run it.

Part of one system

Verdict sits at the sharp end, where the tournament actually happens.

• Genesis is the scene database. Verdict pulls your teams straight out of it and sends the results back, and Genesis shows the scores as they happen while you're still playing.
• Oracle is the coach's app, prepping teams for the events Verdict is built to run.
• Eden is coming soon.

Built in Australia, for how this scene actually plays.
