The WTF is very likely to change the rules to require 4 judges.  In anticipation of the rule change we will be shipping 4 Judge Encoder Box with all new systems starting April 1st.  Software upgrades to use 4 judges will be available in Version 5.

Connection Monitoring / Unconnected Handgrip Detection:  The system will stop and tell you which handgrip is disconnected. When the handgrip is reconnected and you push any button on it the warning indicator will go away and you can continue the match. (Note: only available with Connection Monitoring Handgrips)

Reset Options to Default Values:  On the options screen there is an icon to reset selected default values for different areas of RingMaster. This is to resolve a problem with corrupted values in the Windows Registry.

Disqualification added to options to end match

Live Update added:  There is an icon that appears on the welcome screen that will check for and download updates to RingMaster on the internet.

Encoder Box Security:  You must now run the ringmaster with the matched encoder box. If your system has trouble with this (on older encoder boxes) you can get an activation code that allows RingMaster to run on a single computer.

Reset match recovery from history file:  if your system goes down in the middle of match you can reload the match by selecting the load from file icon... if you are in a division you need to select that division first before you reset the match

Ranks are no longer tied to specific events:  there is now one set of ranks for sparring and forms.

Local Ring Setup for TournamentMaster:  you can now setup a flashdisk or floppy disk to exchange information with TournamentMaster by "Sneaker Net"!
 

Test Handgrips at start of match: The icon to test the handgrips is now available when you start a new match
