Races where riders leave one at a time and several are on course at once get their own screen. Time2Bike gives it to any race whose format is time trial, downhill, or enduro stages. Every rider carries their own start time, so nobody’s result depends on a shared gun.
!!-IMAGE-NEEDED-!! — The interval-start screen: the on-deck rider, the on-course list with live clocks, and the big FINISH button.

​
The shape of it

1

Start each rider as they drop in

Type the rider’s bib into the start box and press start as the gate opens. Their clock begins right then.
2

They join the on-course list

Everyone currently on the hill, each with their own running time, oldest first.
3

Press FINISH as each rider crosses

The big FINISH button closes out the rider who’s been on course longest — which is right whenever nobody has been passed.

​
When someone gets passed

The big button’s guess is wrong exactly when a rider is overtaken. Two ways out:
  • Every rider on course has their own Finish button. Use that one when you can see who’s actually coming down.
  • Reassign afterwards. If a finish landed on the wrong rider, move it to any other rider still on course. The recorded crossing time doesn’t change — only who owns it. You’re fixing identity, not the clock.
Don’t try to fix an ownership mistake by deleting and re-recording. You’d lose the real crossing time and replace it with the time you noticed. Reassign instead.

​
What else is on the screen

​
Enduro stages

Make each stage its own race. Riders get an independent start and finish per stage, and the transfers between them aren’t timed.

​
Hardware

This is the screen that benefits most from beam-break timing — a start gate and a finish beam remove human reaction time from both ends, which matters when runs are separated by hundredths. → Laser timing
