Live Stream Karate Tournaments

Set up a karate tournament live stream in about 5 minutes.
A karate tournament packs a whole day into a few rings: kata and kumite divisions by age, belt and weight, running side by side from the first bow to the last final. Parents and grandparents who can't make the trip still want to see their karateka compete. With EventLive, dojos, tournament directors and karate associations can stream every ring and sell pay-per-view tickets on the same link. There's no contract and no streaming network to sign up with. You pay per event, no subscription required, and keep your ticket revenue.
Add a room for each ring, up to 10, and name them Ring 1, Ring 2 or Kata Ring and Kumite Ring. Families open one link and switch rings with the tabs at the top of the page, with a red dot on every ring that's live, so they can follow their karateka from kata to kumite. Each ring streams from its own phone or camera and keeps its own replay. Learn how multi-room events work.
Charge a set price or let families pay what they want. One ticket can cover every ring, or you can price rings separately. Payments land in your own Stripe account, and EventLive's fee is a flat $1.50 per ticket plus Stripe fees. Each ticket plays on one device at a time.
For kata, frame the competitor's whole body from the judges' side at about chest height, so stances and kicks stay in the shot. For kumite, go a little wider and higher to follow the action across the area. A phone on a tripod works well, and pro crews can stream from OBS, vMix or an ATEM switcher over RTMP.
Keep early divisions free to grow your audience, then sell tickets for the black belt finals or grand championship as a separate event. You decide what is free and what is paid for every tournament.
No broadcast truck, no streaming network agreement and no technical skills needed. If a volunteer can set up a tripod and share a link, your tournament can go live.
Put your dojo or tournament logo and a cover photo on the event page, or embed the stream and ticketing on your own website.
Every ring is recorded automatically. Competitors and senseis can rewatch performances to review technique, and you can offer families a video download with their ticket.
Create an event in the EventLive app or Broadcaster, add a room for each ring, set a ticket price and share the link. On tournament day, place a phone on a tripod beside each ring and tap Go Live, or stream from professional cameras over RTMP. Setup takes about 5 minutes.
Yes. Connect your Stripe account and set a fixed price or a pay-what-you-want price. Families buy on a secure Stripe checkout, and the revenue goes directly to your Stripe account. EventLive charges $1.50 per ticket plus Stripe processing fees.
Add a room for each ring to one event, up to 10 rings, and stream each ring from its own phone or camera. Families use one link and switch rings with tabs, and one ticket can cover every ring or you can sell rings separately. Rooms need a business account. See multi-room events for details.
Set up on the judges' side of the ring so viewers see what the judges see. Frame kata so the whole competitor stays in the shot through every stance and kick. For kumite, widen the frame a little and raise the tripod so both competitors stay visible as they move around the area.
Yes. Run the eliminations as a free event and the black belt finals or grand championship as a separate ticketed event. Ticketing is optional, so you can also keep the whole tournament free.
You set the price. A common approach is around $10 to $20 per day for all rings. Consider a lower price for in-house and local tournaments and a higher one for regional and national championships.
EventLive is priced per event, with no contract and no subscription required. Each event credit covers up to 24 hours of streaming with unlimited concurrent viewers, and each extra ring uses one more credit per day. Credit packs lower the price per event, and the unlimited plan includes extra rings at no extra cost. See the pricing below.
Yes. Every ring is recorded automatically and ticket holders can watch the replay on the event page. Replay is included for 30 days and can be extended to 1 or 10 years. You can also offer a video download with the ticket, and a download bought with the main ticket covers every ring's video.
Set up your rings, set your ticket price and go live in minutes. Families can watch every kata and match from anywhere.
