This work arises within the context of the Master’s Project in Computer Engineering - Mobile Computing course, at Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gest˜ao do Instituto Polit´ecnico de Leiria. The aim of this work is to describe the work carried out over several months, in partnership with the Trampolins Clube de Leiria. This is a local club, and as such, with somewhat limited resources, such as the competitions they manage and organize their judging solution were in need of improvements in terms of organization, speed, data acquisition, trust in the data, and resilience. This work begins by presenting the methodology used, followed by a contextualization of the sport, and a brief presentation of some software available in the market. Next, a comparison between the various current technological solutions is presented, as a means of gathering the necessary information to make informed decisions for the presentation of a solution. There is also a chapter with the details of the proposed solution, a description of the technologies used, and the implementation details. Finally, various execution scenarios, tests, and questionnaires are analyzed, concluding with the project’s findings. The main goal of the project was to propose an architecture for a solution to be made available in trampoline competitions, in order to minimize manual processes and perform calculations automatically, thus reducing human error and accelerating the entire end-toend process. There was also the objective of, during the development of the proposed solution, having it tested in actual events, including regional, national, and international competitions. The project was successfully completed, with the club’s main goals achieved. The experience gained in the interactions of requirement gathering was enriching for everyone. In the real-life context, the application’s performance and output were accepted in all possible categories.
