What belongs here
This catalog includes software and software-enabled services for entries, scheduling, check-in, adjudication, scrutineering, scoring, critiques, or results. Competition tour operators are not listed merely because they have a registration form, and historical programs without a current official source are excluded.
The rulebook comes first
Ballroom may require Skating System rules and federation exports; swing often uses callbacks and relative placement; Irish dance uses Irish points; studio competitions use custom scorecards and award thresholds. Confirm the governing body, contest format, tie rules, audit trail, and certified version before comparing convenience features. Two useful reference points are the WDSF certified scrutiny-software list and the WSDC scoring-systems list.
Start with the event format
Prioritize studio accounts, routine and music uploads, age and level rules, conflict-aware run orders, award thresholds, and synchronized video critiques.
Confirm Skating System accuracy, callbacks, heats, deck workflows, sanctioning, judge devices, offline resilience, and federation result exports.
Look for Jack & Jill pairing, prelim callbacks, relative placement, bibs, WSDC or UCWDC rules, pass sales, workshops, and registry reporting.
Compare syllabus setup, family and school accounts, stage planning, dancer cards, adjudicator books, Irish-points tabulation, comments, and results delivery.

How this directory was assembled
Each listing had an active official provider page, product documentation, official app listing, or live service during the July 2026 pass. Governing-body lists were used to verify certification or approval only when explicitly stated. Closed systems, unavailable rebuilds, results-only archives, and products with no current business destination were excluded.
