United Kingdom — GroomScore, the fast-growing platform powering competitive dog grooming results, judging and rankings across the UK, Ireland and Europe, today announced a major expansion of its team features. The release introduces dedicated hubs for all four UK & Irish national groom teams and a new Teams subscription tier built for salons, distributors and grooming academies.
Four nations, one home
Until now, GroomScore’s team coverage centred on Groom Team England, with live points scraped automatically from groomteamengland.com. The new “Groom Teams” hub brings England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland together under a single, easy-to-navigate page — each with its own branding, social links, news updates and current team roster.
- Groom Team England — live points board, member badges, and points-claim workflow.
- Groom Team Wales — dedicated landing page, branding, and current member directory.
- Groom Team Scotland — the home for Scottish team news and rosters.
- Groom Team Ireland — representing Irish groomers on the international stage.
Each nation has its own dedicated team manager role on GroomScore, allowing the team’s leadership to add or remove current members directly. Members earn an official “Current Team Member” badge that appears on their public groomer profile, linking the wider grooming community back to the people behind each national flag.
“Groomers don’t compete for one country in isolation — we’re a community spread across these islands. Bringing all four national teams together in one place finally reflects how the sport actually feels at a show.”

Introducing GroomScore Teams
Alongside the national rollout, GroomScore is launching a new Teams subscription aimed at companies that field multiple groomers — salons, distributors, academies and product brands.
- £15 / month or £150 / year per team.
- Manager-led checkout: one billing relationship covers the whole roster.
- Branded team profile page with logo, bio, social links and member directory.
- Aggregated team leaderboard — results and rankings combined across every member.
- New “Teams by Country” and “Global” leaderboards for international visibility.
Teams join the existing GroomScore line-up of personal subscriptions: £7/month or £150/year for individual groomers, plus dedicated £5/month Judge Training and £12/month Pro Training tiers for educators and seminar leaders.
Why this matters now
Competitive grooming has grown rapidly across Europe, with more shows, more judges and more international travel than ever. GroomScore exists to give that sport the digital backbone it deserves — verified results, transparent judging feedback, and a single profile that follows a groomer through every show, every season.
The Teams release closes the loop for the businesses behind those competitors, giving brands and academies a clean, branded way to celebrate and support their groomers without spreadsheets, screenshots or ad-hoc social posts.
Built for the whole sport
GroomScore now powers an end-to-end ecosystem for competitive grooming:
- Live results entry, judging sheets and show packs for organisers.
- Multi-language judge feedback with a 5-category, 10-point scoring system.
- Automatic Golden Scissor Awards tracking and a public GSA hall of fame.
- EGA integration with daily sync from European events.
- Verified profiles, before/after class photos and competitor portfolios.
- Personal vanity URLs at groomscore.co.uk/your-name.
- Show Planner with checklists, judge invites, vendors and budgeting.
- Email + push notifications, results sharing cards, and printable forms.
“We’re building one platform that respects how complex this sport really is — and how proud groomers are of the teams, countries and salons they represent.”
— GroomScore Founder
