Race Timing

Race Clocks

The race clock screens are designed for fast use during a race: large elapsed time, split buttons, athlete ordering, projections, recording controls, local session saving, and support for quick hardware input.

Clock Modes

5K Race Clock

  • 3.10 mile race clock with a large elapsed time display.
  • 1 Mile and 2 Mile split panels with tap counts and order counts.
  • Projected finish and last-known pace calculations.
  • Optional live timing start and result upload when signed in.

2 Mile Race Clock

  • Dedicated 2.00 mile race workflow.
  • 1 Mile and Finish split capture.
  • Live elapsed and projection display.
  • Shared athlete and CSV import workflow with the other race clocks.

Meters Pace

  • Enter a custom split distance in meters.
  • Project finish times for 800m, 1600m, 3200m, and 5000m.
  • Sort athletes by name, goal time, or import order.
  • Save meter sessions to the same Sessions library.

Race Capture Controls

These are the primary controls operators use during a live race.

Control Purpose
Start / Pause Starts the race clock or asks for confirmation before pausing an active timing session.
Hit 1 Mile Now Captures a 1-mile split tap and stores it in the 1-mile tap history.
Hit 2 Mile Now Captures a 2-mile split tap and stores it in the 2-mile tap history.
Order Counts race places that belong to other teams so assigned-athlete placement stays accurate.
Taps & Order Opens the tap history where split rows can be assigned, deleted, or edited.
Save/Finish Saves the session CSV and recordings, then clears the clock for the next race.
Change Time Long-press caution control for manually aligning the official start time when devices must sync offline.

Tap History

Tap history is where the raw race taps become athlete-specific results. A split can be assigned to an athlete, assigned an order number, or deleted.

Unassigned splits are kept locally for editing, but they should not be uploaded as blank athlete results.

Top 5 scoring

The tap history can show the score for the top five assigned athletes by adding their order placements.

Hardware Controls

When the app is open, device volume controls can speed up race capture.

Input Default Action
Volume Up Starts the clock if stopped, then captures the active split.
Volume Down Increases the order count for the active marker.
1-mile lock When Mile 1 is locked, hardware split controls move to the 2-mile marker.

Multiple devices

In multiple-device mode, assign each device to the split it captures. The inactive split panel is minimized so the operator can stay focused on the active checkpoint.
