Germany Approves Digital Scoring Devices for All DTTB Competition Tiers

Scorix, the digital scoring software developed by Arteco GmbH, is now available free of charge to all member associations and clubs of the DTTB. The German table tennis federation confirmed the rollout on March 24, 2026, closing the loop on a modernization push that began quietly in September 2025.

The DTTB first announced the introduction of digital scoring devices back in September. After a final technical test run, clubs in the DTTB competition tiers, from Oberliga upward, were cleared to use the software. The timing drops it squarely into the second half of the 2025/26 season, giving Oberliga clubs real match conditions to put Scorix through its paces before next season arrives.

The practical appeal is hard to ignore. Once integrated with the nuScore digital match report, Scorix allows clubs to deploy the devices across all their league fixtures. The scoring devices feed directly into the nuScore match report, eliminating the need for clubs to enter results separately. Anyone who has spent time chasing down a table captain for manually written scoresheets knows exactly what problem that solves.

The decision on whether to connect Scorix to the league interface at state association level rests with the individual state federations. The DTTB is already in close communication with those bodies, and is confident that Scorix will be in use below the Oberliga before the current second half of the season is out.

Hardware is the one piece clubs handle themselves. Each club is responsible for sourcing its own compatible hardware, such as tablets for operation and display. Getting started in split mode is possible for under 100 euros, making the entry point accessible even for smaller clubs operating on tight budgets.

Successful pilot runs were already completed in partnership with the WTTV and TTVB, so the federation isn't walking any of this back. Integration with tournament management systems at federal events is also planned, with data protection requirements fully accounted for. The foundation is set; it's now on the clubs to get their tablets charged.
