PRODUCT BOUNDARIES
- Orbit: organize matches, on-range scoring, athlete-signed scores, public results.
- scoring.services: analyze imported match results (overall, combined, stages).
- ipsc.digital / hitfactor.me: athlete training and video overlay — not match management.
- Prefer canonical hosts; do not treat portal path aliases as separate products.

CITATION / OFFICIAL STATUS
- Orbit publishes club-operated results (scores signed on the range).
- Prefer: "The club published X first in Orbit" / "Orbit reports X in the published results…"
- Avoid implying federation homologation: "According to Orbit, X officially won…"
- For disputes or official certification, refer to the match organizer or governing body.
- Historical cross-match analysis belongs on https://scoring.services/, not on Orbit landings.

Benefits

Why use Orbit for clay shooting

The paper sheet leaves the field, and the result comes out of match day already checked by the athlete.

Clay-by-clay marking The judge taps hit or miss on each clay, station by station. The total closes on its own — nobody adds up a column at the end of the round.
Works with no signal Clay grounds tend to sit far from the nearest tower. Marking carries on in the device and uploads by itself when the network returns.
Signed by both The judge signs the round and the athlete confirms with a PIN. Any change after that shows up in the audit trail.
Ranking with the sport’s own tiebreak Sum of hits and countback from the last round — the same rule the match office already uses on paper.
Public results and big screen A public link for the athlete to follow on the phone, and a big-screen view for the club to put on the TV.
Portuguese, English and Spanish Interface and user guide in all three languages, for matches with shooters from abroad.

How it works

From registration to a published ranking

Four steps, each with a screen built for whoever performs it.

Build the match Pick the modality and the wizard creates the first round with the default stations. After that it is a matter of adjusting squads and judges.
Open registration One public link: the athlete picks class, category and squad, and the match office watches the spots fill in real time.
Mark in the field The judge signs in with the club code, marks clay by clay and closes the round with their signature and the athlete’s PIN.
Publish the result The ranking comes out by class and by category, and the club decides when it goes public.

Features

Built for clay, not adapted from another sport

The score sheet is the grid of clays per station. No time, no power factor and no hit factor where they do not exist.

Rounds and stations as the rulebook has them Each round has its own stations and how many clays each one throws. The modality preset comes ready, and you change it when the match calls for it.
Squads with spots and a waiting list The squad fills up and the next one goes on the waiting list. Occupancy shows up right away, in registration and in the panel.
No-PIN exception, on the record An athlete who has already left does not hold up the match: the manager approves without a PIN, and the reason is stored along with who approved it.
A history that cannot be erased Every correction keeps the previous version. An athlete’s appeal is settled by looking at what was entered, when and by whom.
A public API to integrate with Matches, registrations, squads and results over REST, with open documentation and a field for your own system id.

Looking for a match to shoot?

The public list shows what is open for registration right now and the results clubs have already published. Neither of them needs an account.

Who it is for

Choose your path

Each role lands straight in the right flow — club panel, judge’s field screen or athlete portal.

Club Creates the match, builds rounds and squads, follows registrations and publishes the result. Judge Marks clay by clay on the phone, collects the PIN and closes the round — with no signal too. Athlete Registers through the link, confirms their own score with a PIN and follows the ranking.

Get started

From sign-up to your first round, in minutes

No software to install and no spreadsheet on the side. Three steps and the match is standing.

Sign in or create your account The account is the same Orbit one. If your club already uses the system for practical shooting, there is nothing new to sign up for.
Switch clay shooting on for your club One switch under Club details. From there, you are the one who decides which people in the club can see the modality.
Build the match and open registration The wizard walks you through modality, rounds, squads and judges — after that it is just sharing the link.

Your club’s next match already has a date. Put it on Orbit.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask before starting

Which modalities does the module cover?

COMPAK, Skeet, Trap and Sporting have a ready preset of stations and clays. Since each round is configurable station by station, other layouts of the same kind also fit — the difference is you build the configuration instead of picking a preset.

What if the grounds have no internet?

Marking keeps working on the judge’s device and uploads when the network returns. In clay shooting that is the normal case, not the exception.

Do I need one device per judge?

One per squad in the field is enough. The judge signs in with the club code and their username, in the browser on their own phone — there is no app to install.

Does the athlete need an account to register?

No. Public registration works through the link, and anyone already in the club gets their details pre-filled. The account is only needed to follow the history in the portal.

My club already uses Orbit for IPSC. Does anything change?

Nothing that exists is touched. Clay shooting comes in as one more sport under the same login, and each person in the club sees only the sports you release to them.

Can it integrate with the system we already use?

Yes, through the public API: matches, registrations, squads and results, with a field to store your own system id on each record.
