1. Get a token (or sign in)
Two paths: You’re an event admin. Sign in to your org. You already have full access; skip to step 2. You’re a volunteer. The race director shares a timing QR code or a link of the form:- Scan / open it on the device you’ll be timing on.
- The token saves to that browser. No password needed.
- Each token has roles attached (
timer,marshal,admin,view). - Tokens expire when revoked or at their configured TTL. If the screen suddenly says “session not found”, ask for a fresh token.
2. Pick a session
From the event’s Live Timing tab, tap the session you’re running. Volunteers with a session-scoped token land on that session directly.
3. Pick your role / race
Big buttons at the top:- Race start / Pause / Resume / Stop — controls the running clock for the active race. Anyone with
timercan press these. - Race tabs — switch which race is the recipient of plate input.
4. Record finishes
Plate entry (default)
- Make sure the right race tab is selected.
- Type the bib / plate number into the giant input.
- Press Enter (or tap Record).
Tap a registered rider
The Registered riders panel under the input shows everyone signed up for the active race. Tap a name to record their finish at “now”. Useful when bibs are unreadable.Two-lane (dual slalom)
Two side-by-side lane panels. Hit Lane finish when each rider crosses; the reducer pairs the two lanes into a match leg.RFID CSV import
In the RFID panel, click Pick CSV & watch. Each new line is ingested as a finish keyed by bib.5. Working offline
The operator screen runs entirely from cache:- A service worker keeps the page available without network.
- IndexedDB holds every finish you record.
- A sync indicator in the top bar shows 🟢 synced / 🟡 N queued / 🔴 OFFLINE.
If you switch devices mid-race, finishes from the old device may not have uploaded yet. Reconnect the old device to Wi-Fi and let it drain before powering down.
6. Resync if something looks wrong
- Pull-to-refresh the operator page.
- The clock chip shows your offset from the server. Big offsets (over ~250 ms) reconcile automatically; if it looks frozen, refresh.
- If a finish is on the wrong rider, long-press / right-click → Edit or Delete. Deletes are soft — the audit log is preserved.
7. Finish & publish
When the race is over:- Tap Stop on each race in the session.
- Review the finishes. Edit anomalies.
- Tap Finalize — locks the session.
- Tap Publish — surfaces results on the public page and enables the PDF download.
