Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

A: Kip is the first community-based meet tracker for Mens and Womens artistic gymnastics.

It was designed and built by Matt, a parent just like you, who felt that there had to be a better way to keep track of his gymnasts scoring!

Thank You!

Thank you for your interest in Kip. I've made every effort to make Kip as useful and easy-to-use as possible. I sincerely hope that you enjoy using Kip!

A: Kip is designed to bring together parents, coaches, team parents, and gymnasts, to allow them to manage their meet scoring and view valuable historical data. It does this by connecting everyone using Kip to a central system that keeps track of meets, sessions, and scores. This allows you to see scores as they are entered by other Kip users in real-time on your device! No more flipping through papers, and frantically scribbling down scores while asking others if they got a score that you missed. Track your own gymnasts and watch as other scores fill in when others enter them. Now you can have more time to watch and enjoy your gymnast compete!
