Scoring that holds up under stage lights.
ScoreHQ is the judging platform behind New Zealand's leading pageants and dance competitions. Multiple judges, multiple rounds, weighted criteria — tallied live, accurate to the decimal.
Scoring the stage for
Everything backstage needs, nothing it doesn't.
Built specifically for judged stage events — not adapted from generic survey software.
Multiple Judges
Assign up to ten independent judges per event. Every judge scores on their own device — no shared sheets, no peeking.
Weighted Criteria
Build a scoring rubric for each round — poise, talent, interview, choreography — and assign exact weighting to each.
Multi-Round Totals
Run heats, semis and finals as separate rounds, then sum them automatically into one final, defensible result.
Live Results
Watch the leaderboard tally in real time as scores are submitted — ready to announce the moment the last judge confirms.
Event-Based Setup
Run as many events as you like. Each has its own judges, contestants, rounds and criteria.
Teams or Individuals
Score solo contestants or full dance teams under one banner — totals and rankings work the same way for both.
From green room to grand final.
Set up your teams, judges and criteria, and run multiple rounds — all from one app. Most organisers are ready to start scoring in under 60 minutes.
Set Up the Event
Create your event, add contestants or teams, and invite your judging panel.
Build the Rubric
Define rounds and criteria — and how much each one counts toward the final score.
Judges Score Live
Each judge scores independently from their own device, round by round, as the show runs.
Results, Instantly
Rounds are summed automatically into a final ranking — ready the second the last score lands.
Built to pass procurement.
ScoreHQ is engineered to meet the security, audit and confidentiality standards major organisations require in their tabulation RFPs — not retrofitted to claim them.
Full Audit Trail
Every score entered, modified or finalised is logged with a timestamp the moment it happens. Nothing is editable after the fact without leaving a record — the kind of unalterable log file tabulation RFPs require.
MFA on Every Login
Every judge and tabulator logs in with their own secure, individually assigned credentials, protected by multi-factor authentication — no shared passwords, no shared devices.
Certified Results Export
Final placements — including Top finalists and the overall winner — are independently verified before handover and delivered as a clean, tabular document for your executive committee.

Calm nights. Clean results.
ScoreHQ took the panic out of finals night. Our judges scored independently on their own tablets and the results were tallied before the host finished announcing the top ten.
We run a multi-round format with cultural wear, talent and an interview panel. ScoreHQ let us weight each round exactly how we needed and kept our committee calm in the room next door.
With top schools competing across the region and six judges on the panel, manual scoring used to take us over an hour after the last performance. ScoreHQ has it done by the time the lights come back up.
One fixed price. No surprises after the show.
