How we stream with OBS Studio

Step-by-step workflow: match data in Scoring Services, overlay in OBS Studio (Browser Source), and live scoreboard for the audience.

Video example: streaming with OBS Studio

Real recording of our live setup — Scoring Services scoreboard on screen, transparent OBS overlay, and athletes following along at m.scoring.services.

Real example: how we broadcast the test with OBS Studio

Example recording of our live broadcast: score and last shots from Scoring Services on screen, transparent overlay added in OBS Studio as Browser Source, while athletes follow the same race at https://m.scoring.services/ and /matches. The same flow applies to vMix, Streamlabs and other web source programs.

Practical shooting and sports shooting: same base, focus on performance

In Brazil, “practical shooting” usually designates dynamic modalities with targets and course — especially the IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation), but also IDPA, Steel Challenge and timed formats. “Sports shooting” is the regulated umbrella that includes these events with rules, divisions and rankings. To evolve, the athlete needs to get out of “I was good or bad” and get into metrics: hit factor, A/C/D hits, M/NS/PROC penalties, time per track and percentage compared to the best in the division.

Why statistics change the post-test

Two races with the same placement can hide opposite stories: in one you lost the combination due to a bad clue; in another, it was consistent but without a peak in pace. Statistics by division, heat maps and comparisons between athletes allow you to see patterns — whether the bottleneck is precision, speed, procedure or management of long and short stages. Scoring Services aggregates imported tests and live tests for this reading in a single ecosystem.

Three paths on the website: consult, analyze and transmit

Public consultation: imported evidence hub and live match pages. Analysis: comparison of athletes, historical evolution, ELO ranking and national references. Streaming: Transparent HTML overlay for OBS, vMix and Streamlabs with near real-time scoreboard and last shot. Each track has dedicated pages in this guide — use the buttons below depending on your profile (athlete, RO, club or media).

Next step: dive deeper into IPSC or tools

If your main modality is IPSC, the thematic guide in /guia-ipsc organizes dozens of articles (hit factor, combined, penalties, overlay). If you're looking for immediate action, open the athlete comparison in /comparacao or the live competition list in /matches.

Post-test checklist in 15 minutes

1) Open combined and percentage in the division. 2) List the three worst tracks by hit factor. 3) Mark penalty pattern (M, NS, PROC). 4) Compare with a reference athlete in /comparacao. 5) Record a technical goal for the next training session. This ritual transforms results into plans.
