Frequently asked questions
Cost and buying
Why pay when registration and scoring tools are free?
MatchOps does the work before match day as well as the day itself: stages built on your own steel with the target math done, a matchbook written from those stages, and a library you plan the season from. On match day, no score is silently overwritten, and results go out the moment you complete the match.
How much does it cost, and how is it priced?
One flat price per club, per year, covering every match you run. It's quoted on request after a short conversation, because every club is set up individually.
Our board has to approve this. Can you help?
Yes. We'll put the quote in writing and answer your board's questions.
Who makes MatchOps?
Match Director HQ, based in New Hampshire. We direct matches at our own club, and MatchOps grew out of running them.
What it does
Which match formats does it support?
PRS-style centerfire and rimfire matches, and Long Gong. MatchOps isn't affiliated with any sanctioning body.
Can we plan matches ahead?
Yes. Set up as many matches as you like, as far ahead as you like, from your club's stage library.
Is our club's information private?
Yes. Each club has its own workspace, and other clubs can't see it. Only what you publish, such as match pages and results, is public.
At the range
Do we need internet at the range?
Not for scoring. Each squad's tablet saves every score as it's entered and sends scores when it finds signal. Shooters need internet to register and to watch live scores from their phones.
What happens if the internet drops in the middle of the match?
Squads keep shooting and scoring. Scores stay on each tablet and send when it finds signal again, and the live scores page catches up then. Keep tablets charged and bring each one back to signal before you complete the match.
What if two tablets score the same shooter differently?
MatchOps keeps both scores and asks a director to decide. Neither is replaced without a director seeing it.
When do competitors get their results?
The moment you complete the match. Final places, overall and by division, go out by email to every competitor, and stay on the public match page.
For competitors
Do competitors pay or need an account?
It's free for competitors. They sign in to register, choose a division, accept your waiver and register from their phones. A walk-in can be added at the line without an account, and a claim link attaches the entry to their account later.
Can shooters find our matches?
Yes. A public page lists every active club on MatchOps and its upcoming matches, and anyone can browse it.
Getting started
How do we get started?
Request a demo. On a 30-minute call we create a match and run it from start to finish, then answer your questions. If it's a fit, we set up your club's workspace.
Who supports us, including on match day?
We do. Your directors and admins have a Support menu inside MatchOps. When something can't wait, like a problem on match day, they can call or text us from it. Anything else they can report there in writing.
