FencStats is a fencing tracker for athletes who want a simple way to record bouts and understand progress. Log your score, opponent, weapon, venue, round and notes after training or competition. Over time, your profile becomes a useful record of results, opponent history and performance trends. The live product focuses on bout logging, score tracking, fencing statistics, progress tracking and privacy-aware fencer profiles. Coach workspace is in early access, club workspace is invite-only, and video analysis is a roadmap feature.
Log a bout in under two minutes from your phone or laptop. Opponent, final score, weapon, bout type, date, venue, round and notes are the standard fields, organised in a single flow so you can record a result immediately after the bout and move on with your day.
The FencStats Android app is available on Google Play, so you can log bouts straight from the strip. The web app also works on any device with a browser, so you always have a way to track.
Venue names, round labels and frequent context details are remembered after the first time you use them, so logging the second bout at the same competition is faster than logging the first. The tracker rewards consistency by keeping repetitive typing out of the way.
Optional touch logging adds depth without slowing down basic tracking. When a bout matters more, capture each touch by action type, scorer and period; when it does not, stick to the headline score. The same record can be enriched later if you want to add detail after a coaching review.
Training, sparring and competition bouts get tagged at entry time and stay separable in every later view. You will not have to filter them out later because a national event bout was logged alongside a Tuesday-night warm-up. The category travels with the bout.
Each logged bout can be shared with the opponent via a link so they can confirm the result without an account, and verified bouts gain a small trust indicator on your record. The same share flow is useful for sending a bout to a coach with the context already attached.
The shortest tracking flow in FencStats is built around the fields a fencer can answer from memory five seconds after a bout ends. Opponent, weapon, score, bout type, date. Everything else, venue, round, notes, touch detail, is optional and stays out of the way unless you want it. The first bout you log might take three minutes while you find the right buttons. The hundredth takes under thirty seconds.
The reason a structured flow beats a notebook is that the fields are always in the same place. There is no rummaging for a previous entry to copy the format. There is no debate about whether to write the opponent name first or the score first. Repetition is faster than improvisation, and the tracker leans into that.
If you forget a bout entirely, you can still log it later with the correct date. The tracker does not punish a delay; it does, however, reward speed because the small details, the timing of a specific touch, the opponent style notes, disappear from memory faster than the headline score.
A notes app accepts anything, which sounds flexible until you try to count wins from three months of entries. A fencing tracker is intentionally rigid in exactly the places that matter: the score is a number pair, the weapon is one of three, the opponent is a real person, the date exists. Everything that would otherwise become a parsing problem later is solved at entry time.
The trade-off is that you cannot dump a stream of consciousness into a tracker the way you can into a notebook. You can, however, attach long notes to a bout and keep the structured fields clean. The structure carries the stats; the notes carry the story. Both survive.
The hidden benefit is consistency across teammates. Two athletes logging in the same tracker produce bout records that can be compared, useful when a coach is looking at multiple athletes or a club is building a roster view. Two athletes logging in their own notebooks produce two unrelated piles of paper.
Not every bout deserves the same treatment. A training round at the end of a tired Tuesday is a different data point from a national competition pool. FencStats keeps them comparable but separable by tagging each bout with a type at entry time, training, sparring or competition, and respecting that category in every later view.
For training, the tracker is most useful as a habit. Logging even short rounds keeps the bout volume realistic and prevents the "I only fenced four bouts last month" illusion that shows up when you only log competitions. The volume number alone is a useful coaching signal.
For competition, the tracker shifts to evidence. Each bout earns its own structured record with score, venue, round and notes. Looking back at a season, the competition-only filter shows the trajectory in the bouts that actually counted, without training noise.
The FencStats Android app is live on Google Play. Download it and log bouts straight from the strip between rounds without opening a browser. The app syncs with your FencStats account, so everything you log on your phone shows up in the web dashboard and vice versa. Notifications, offline-friendly navigation and native performance make it the fastest way to track when you are at a competition or training session.
The web app works on any phone browser too, so even without installing you can track from any device. The mobile-friendly layout is built around one-handed tap targets so you can log between bouts without sitting down. Both the native app and the web app share the same data, so switching between them is seamless.
iOS users get the same web experience today. A native iOS app is further out and has not been built yet, but the web tracker covers iOS fencers fully in the meantime.
A tracker is more useful when it is not isolated. Each logged bout can be shared with the opponent via a link they can open without an account. They can confirm the result, which earns the bout a verified status. That single step removes most of the "I think I won 5 to 3" disputes a coach has to mediate after a long competition.
The same share flow works for coaches. A coach in the early-access coach workspace can review athlete bouts in the context of linked-athlete relationships rather than as raw bout dumps. The athlete decides what to share. The coach gets structured context instead of an anecdote.
For clubs, the tracking loop is more deliberate. Club workspace is invite-only during the initial rollout, so the integration of tracker data with club roster views is staged carefully. The point is to make tracking valuable for individual athletes first, then layer team context where it adds real signal, without forcing every fencer through a club gate.

FAQ
A fencing tracker is a tool that records bouts, scores, opponents and the context around each one, including weapon, venue, round, notes and optionally touch-by-touch detail, so the data can be reviewed later instead of being lost between training sessions or competitions.
Most fencers log a complete bout in under two minutes. The fields are organised in a single flow and reusable values like venues and rounds remember themselves after the first entry, so repeated tracking at the same competition gets faster as the day goes on.
Yes. The tracker is designed for post-bout logging, so you can record a training round between repetitions, a sparring bout while resting and a competition result as soon as the bout ends. The structure stays the same across all three contexts.
Yes. The FencStats Android app is available on Google Play. You can download it and log bouts directly from your phone. The web app also remains fully functional on any mobile browser.
Foil, epee and sabre are all supported as first-class weapon categories. Each bout is tagged with a weapon at entry time and every later stats view respects the weapon split, so multi-weapon fencers can keep their tracking clean without manual filtering.
Yes. Bouts are categorised at entry time as training, sparring or competition. The category is carried through every later view, so you can review only competition results when preparing for a tournament or only training data when looking at a development cycle.
Yes. Every logged bout can be shared via a link that does not require the opponent or coach to have an account. The opponent can verify the result and the coach can review the bout context. Sharing is opt-in per bout, never automatic.
You can still log it later by setting the original date manually. The tracker will keep stats consistent regardless of when the entry was created, but logging promptly is recommended because the touch details and small context notes fade from memory quickly.
Yes for now. The web tracker needs an internet connection at the moment you submit the bout. Offline-first logging is something we want to add, but it is not yet a live capability, so plan on having connectivity when you are ready to save a bout.
