From the beam to the results board

A club admin creates the event, picks the format, and sets how many runs there are — practice runs can be flagged so they don't count towards standings.

Entrants go in by hand or by importing the CSV your club's entry form already spits out. Classes are set up once and used for the class tabs on the results page.

Times can be typed straight in. The hour and minute carry over from the previous entry, so most runs are a few keystrokes, and the car number defaults to the next entrant in order.

More than one device can be timing at once — one at the start, one at the finish, one on each split. The system pairs the entries up by car and run.

If you use a timing device like an ALGE TIMY3, this can connect into a Windows laptop or Android tablet and times land in the app the moment the beam breaks, car number and all.

Every capture is stored as a raw time entry, and results are always computed from those raw entries. Correct a mistyped car number and the standings correct themselves — there are no formulas to re-point and no sheet to re-sort.

Rankings use each driver's best counting run. Who is allowed to correct a time is set per person, per club.

The public results page refreshes every ten seconds. Competitors, family and spectators open it on their phone — no app to install and no login.

There's a tab for each class, and every driver has their own page showing each run and the raw times behind it, so a query at the timing desk takes seconds to answer.
