<![CDATA[Student selection for the National Student Sports Olympiad (O2SN), particularly in the karate category, is still largely conducted manually, which may lead to subjectivity and inconsistency in the assessment process. This study aims to design and develop a web-based Decision Support System (DSS) to assist schools in selecting the best students for the O2SN karate competition by applying the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method at SMA Negeri 2 Muaro Jambi. The system was developed using the waterfall model, which consists of requirement analysis, system design, implementation, and testing stages. The student evaluation process is based on criteria referring to the official O2SN karate standards, including stance accuracy, techniques, movement transitions, timing and harmony, breathing control, focus (kime), conformity (consistency with ryu-ha/style), strength, speed, and balance. The developed system processes assessment data to generate preference values and student rankings, which are separated by male and female categories. The results indicate that the application of the TOPSIS method is able to support more objective decision-making and improve transparency and efficiency in the O2SN student selection process within the school environment.]]>
