Capturing starts, finishes & bibs
Operating your position at the track: the gun, the finish line, the photo-finish camera, and collecting bibs.
- The starter, and automatic gun detectionThe starter brings a heat to the line and fires it. When the app hears the gun itself, the delay between the shot and someone pressing a button disappears.
- Collecting bibs in lane heats vs. pack heatsBoth heat styles end with a bib on every result. What changes is whether you attach bibs before the race or after it.
- Run a pack heat with a bib collectorA step-by-step walkthrough of the two-person pack flow, one operator flagging times and one recording bibs.
- Call the finishing order to speed up markingIn a lane heat, the slow part of reading a photo-finish strip is not finding the crossings, it is working out which lane each one belongs to. Recording the judge's calls on a second device moves that work off the strip and onto the chute, while the race is still happening.
- Capture bibs with the cameraPhotograph each athlete's bib instead of typing it. The number is read automatically, and the photo travels with the result so the record keeper can settle a mismatch later.
