- Register at the website Karateka and confirm your email address;
- Add basic organization information in the profile settings;
- In case you’re going to conduct a competition and expecting to accept applications from other organizations and clubs, then you’ll need not just to create new event in Sport→Calendar section but also set Program of competition and then Make event public. Afterwards, others will be able to see your event upon creating an application;
- In case there are athletes or referees in your organization, then you can add them in Sport→Participants or Sport→Referees section;
- If the organization and the trainer does not act in one person, then it is necessary, to other trainers and/or members of your organization to be registered separately and then join, by going to your profile;
- At first organization is registered in the face of the manager/senior trainer and correspondent information is filled in Settings→Profile section;
- Then, your potential member (coach, representative, etc.) must be registered. Afterwards, going to the organization profile page, send a join request by clicking the "Join" button. When the request for the membership is approved by the host organization, it will have new member displayed in the list.
- In the section Settings→Membership, organization can control the display of the member’s titles, (for example: “President”, “Secretary”, “Trainer” and etc.) and most importantly, manage access control for the members. View on one of the pages an example of how the public profile should look like, when properly configured.
- After setting up the profile, in the section Sport→Participants, it’s necessary to add athletes that are in your organization. Editing a participant is easy as calling context-menu, by making right-click on it. It’s done only once. It’s important to set the trainer’s name (member) properly. Each trainer could add its own athletes themselves and later grant access, using Settings→Membership for other members in the organization.
- To create an application for the competition, is easy as marking required athletes in Sport→Participants section and adding them by clicking + Add to→Application for participation in competition;

-
Formation of kumite protocols is automatic and done completely in random mode. It takes into account the specified parameters, such as athletes from one club/trainer or just manually selected strong athletes (by using right-click), which will be always split in the different subgroups and will never meet in the first fight;
-
Points for kata protocols are calculated automatically, discarding the highest and lowest points, and the final result is the sum of the remaining. In case of the same points’ sum, the winner can be chosen by the lowest or highest score. By default, at first, the system determines the winner by the lower score, but this functionality can be reversed at the “Sum” field.
-
The final calculation is no longer time-consuming process at all. The winner in the team event, the club and the trainer alone, can be determined immediately after the last category is finished.
