Scoring.fit and Throwdown both handle online registration, payment, scoring and the ranking of a functional fitness competition or a hybrid race, with no subscription. The clearest difference is price. Throwdown takes 3% + 1.50 € per paid registration and Scoring.fit 5% + 1.55 €, according to both providers' public pages checked on September 1, 2026. On a competition of 200 athletes at 60 €, that comes to 660 € of commission on Throwdown against 910 € on Scoring.fit, a 250 € gap. Throwdown also rents professional chip timing for the weekend, useful for a hybrid race, and runs an iOS and Android app where athletes follow their schedule and the live ranking. The table below covers each point, and rows that are not publicly documented are marked as such.
Price, what you really pay
Both platforms charge on registration sales, with no subscription. Throwdown takes 3% + 1.50 € per registration, Scoring.fit 5% + 1.55 €. When the athlete covers the fees, they are added to the ticket price, so a lower commission makes the registration cheaper. Throwdown lets the organizer choose who pays them, the athlete, the organizer or 50/50. On a competition of 200 athletes at 60 €, fees come to 660 € on Throwdown and 910 € on Scoring.fit, 250 € less. In both cases the athlete pays online and the organizer collects the ticket price directly to their account.

Professional chip timing
A hybrid race needs reliable times without a manual stopwatch. Throwdown rents a professional timing system for the weekend, with velcro transponders and a high-precision battery-powered sensor. The sensor goes at the finish, times flow automatically into the ranking, and athletes get an experience close to an official race.
“So far everything is perfect. Can't wait to celebrate the Liège Throwdown anniversary alongside Throwdown.”
