The software for Swiss fencing.
Paak already runs your members, CHF payments (TWINT rolling out) and teams. For the FSE (Swiss Fencing Federation) it goes further: three weapons (foil, epee, sabre), categories U10 to Veterans 40+, multi-section, parent communications. Complementary to Ophardt Online (fencing specialist worldwide), never a substitute.
- Complementary to Ophardt — keep Ophardt for members / licences / events / results; Paak runs the club layer
- Three weapons as sub-disciplines — foil, epee, sabre tagged per athlete; club practice tracked, not the live touch
- CHF (TWINT rolling out), nLPD-compatible hosting — data in the EU, on the Swiss adequacy list
Free up to 100 members. Swiss pilots open · CHF + TWINT rolling out.
Swiss fencing, in one club tool.
The FSE runs on Ophardt Online — Paak complements, doesn't replace.
Ophardt Online (Ophardt Team Sportevent, Germany, fencing specialist worldwide) at fencing.ophardt.online is the full FIE-aligned fencing IT stack, included in FSE affiliation: member management, licence ordering (national, EFC, FIE), event registration, payments, results. Live tournament scoring via Ophardt Touch, worldwide aggregation via Fencing Worldwide. You keep Ophardt. Small federation (52 clubs) — deep Ophardt integration is low-priority on the Paak side.
Stays your official reference
- Member management, licence ordering (national / EFC / FIE), events, payments, results
- Live tournament scoring (Ophardt Touch), FIE-aligned ranking (Fencing Worldwide)
- Restricted API: docs.ophardt.online returns 403 — bridge today: CSV import
The club layer Ophardt doesn't cover in depth
- Mollie payments in CHF (TWINT rolling out) outside the licence (dues, camps, sponsors)
- Multi-section (fencing + other sports in the same club), parent communications
- Club accounting, volunteers, training planning per weapon
- Individual performance: attendance rate, training statistics per weapon
Foil, epee, sabre — as distinct sub-disciplines.
Paak handles the three weapons at SportUIConfig level. Tag the main weapon per athlete (an epeeist may also fence foil). Paak does NOT do electronic-touch live scoring — that stays in Ophardt Touch. Paak tracks club practice and training.
Foil
Point touch only. Valid target: torso. Right-of-way (attack priority). The most fenced among juniors.
Epee
Point touch only. Valid target: whole body. No priority, double touch possible.
Sabre
Point and edge touch. Valid target: upper body. Right-of-way (attack priority). Very fast bouts.
Three licences (national / EFC / FIE)
National licence, EFC (European Fencing Confederation), FIE (international, Olympic). Ophardt manages the ordering of all three — Paak does not re-implement licensing.
No mandatory medical certificate
Swiss norm, requiresMedicalCert: false in SportUIConfig CH. Each club can track its own youth medical validations if relevant.

Sonderprivatauszug — the Swiss Olympic recommendation.
Switzerland has no direct equivalent to the French law of 8 March 2024. Like any Swiss salle d'armes in contact with minors, your club is invited to apply the Swiss Olympic recommendation of the Sonderprivatauszug for every maître d'armes and regular assistant, as part of the joint programme with the BASPO/OFSPO "No sexual abuse in sport".
- Issue-date tracking per maître d'armes — valid / expiring soon / expired
- Reminders 30 / 14 / 7 days before renewal (every 5 years by default, configurable)
- One-click CSV export · nLPD-compatible approach, data in the EU
Default cadence in line with the standard practice of Swiss sports associations, configurable per club.
