www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=6534
Pursuit start - start racers chasing the leader at pre-determined time gaps
Example results:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=10058
Races with multiple distances and categories
The same race can have multiple distances, e.g. 5 km and 10 km races happening at the same time
Racers can further be competing in difference categories per distance
The distances and categories can start at the same time, in waves, or in mixed custom waves
You can specify via results options how you want the results classified by distance, category and gender
Example race with multiple distances and categories:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=11160
Live results
If you have internet connectivity from the timing device, you can post results live to Webscorer.com
The live results are fully automatic, results are posted within seconds of each racer finishing
Corrections and updates to the results are also sent immediately after changing the data on the app
Racers, spectators and family at home can follow the race progress live on their home computers
Fans can also follow the live results on their smart phones by downloading the free Websc orer FAN app
RACES WITH LAPS
Record lap times
Record lap times for all racers, included in official results
A fixed distance race can have up to 100 laps
A race with multiple distances can each have a different number of laps
The app can also be used as a split-timing device by a coach in an interval start race
Example results with lap times:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=9815
Race with non-timed transitions (e.g. enduro)
You can time a multi-stage race which may have sections that don't count toward total time
For example, here's how to t ime a 3-stage enduro mountain-biking race:
You'd setup the race as individual start with 5 laps and exclude laps 2 and 4
Lap 1 corresponds to stage one, lap 3 to stage two and lap 5 to stage three
Lap 2 is the non-timed transition from stage one finish to stage two start
Lap 4 is the non-timed transition from stage two finish to stage three start
Example enduro results:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=4163
Time-limited race
A race can be set to last a fixed amount of time (e.g. cyclocross race of 30 mins plus 1 lap)
A time-limited race can have an unlimited number of laps
Racers on the lead lap get a time result, others are marked as "-1 lap", "-2 laps", and so on
You can simultaneously run events with a different time limit (e.g. 3- and 6-hour mountain-biking races)
Lap times are recorded for all racers and posted as part of the results
You can time e.g. a 3-hour and 6-hour time-limited race simultaneously
Example results from a time-limited race:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=4401
Relay race
Teams of racers compete against other teams of racers
Leg times are recorded similar to lap times in an individual race
Results show rankings by leg, including the team members' names
Relay races can be setup with any of the supported start types: mass, wave, individual, interval, pursuit
You can have multiple relay races of different distance taking place at the same time
Relay teams can also compete in different categories, similar to individual races
Example results from a relay race:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=7073
Fastest lap race
You can setup a race to determine the winner based on the fastest lap per racer out of many attempted
You'll take lap times for the racers, as usual and the app keeps track of the fastest lap for each racer
This is a useful in qualifying rounds where racers may get multiple attempts to get a good lap
You can combine this feature with "In dividual start" & " Exclude laps" to allow lap time attempts with breaks in between
Example results from a fastest lap race:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=11399
RESULTS OPTIONS
Results by distance
Each distance has its own results listing, combined under the same race header
You can choose to list just overall results per distance or also add category and / or gender results
In a single distance race, you can opt not to show overall results and just show category or gender results
Example results from a race with multiple distances:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=11147
Results by category
Set age / boat / bike categories to classify racers in results
Categories are defined before the race for instant / live results by category
In a single-distance race, you can use the "Distance" concept as an additional category-level:
Distances: "20 km Road Bike" and " 20 km TT Bike"
Categories: "Junior", "Senior" and "Master"
Example results from a race with multiple categories:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=11586
Results by gender
By specifying the "Gender" for each racer, you can use the automatic gender results option
You can specify overall results by distance and overall results by gender in addition to category results
In a race with both individuals and teams, there's a special "Female / Male" gender for mixed teams
Example race with gender results:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=10010
Exclude top racers from category results
In road-running, it is customary to exclude the top 1-3 overall males and females from category results
This allows the next racer in line to win the category, sharing the available prices across more racers
The setting is a part of the results options and can be set before or after the race
Example with top racers excluded from category results:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=11603
Results series
You can create a results series on Webscorer.com and when posting results, add each race to the series from the app
The results series allows you to combine the results in multiple ways:
"Combined time" for stage races (e.g. Tour de France)
"Best time" series which is similar to "Best lap" feature but each lap timed as its own race
"Points per place" or "Custom points" for "Best x of y" points series
"% back" or "% of winning time" for performance-based series
You can then view the series standings on the website or download to the Webscorer PRO app
Example results series:
www.webscorer.com/seriesresult?seriesid=10871
Team scoring
Show team results by combining 2 or more team members' times or points (points per place)
Team results can be shown by distance or by category, or both
Team scoring supports the "displacement" system popular in high-school cross-country running
The team scores are shown in addition to individual results both on the app and on the website
Team scoring supports live results, similar to individual results
Example results with cross-country team scoring:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=4225
"ADJUSTED TIME" RESULTS
Predicted-time race
Racers estimate their own time before the race, the closest prediction wins
The results show the actual finish time, the predicted time and the difference between the two
You can set an option to disqualify racers who're faster than their predicted time
Example results from a predicted time race:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=11696
Age-adjusted results
By specifying gender and age for each racer, you can have the app automatically calculate age-adjusted results
The results will show the normal "Finish time" as well as the "Adjusted time" based on the age-based handicap
The calculation is based on age-based running records, recorded over the years by experts specializing on this topic
While the age-adjustment tables are derived from running, they can be applied to other sports as well
For age- and gender adjustment, females' times are adjusted by an additional factor to make them comparable
Female times are multiplied by the number of dividing the "Female running record" by the "Male running record"
Note that the age-handicaps are different for males and females
The handicap tables also vary by race distance
Example race with age-adjusted results:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=7144
Handicap-adjusted results for sailboat racing
You can set boat-specific handicaps have the app automatically calculate the handicap-adjusted results
The following handicap systems are supported:
PHRF / TOD
PHRF / TOT
Portsmouth / RYA
Portsmouth / D-PN
The handicaps can be imported via .TXT start list upload or configured on the app
The results will show both the actual finish times as well as handicap-adjusted times and the boat handicap
You can combine results into a results series to determine the regatta winner
Example results series:
www.webscorer.com/seriesresult?seriesid=10158
Handicap-adjusted results for time-based or percentage handicaps
You can setup individual handicaps based on time, or a percentage (fractional number)
Percentage handicaps are used in many para-olympic sports
E.g. a handicap of 95% (or 0.95) is used to multiply the actual finish time to obtain the handicap-adjusted time
A handicap of 100% (or 1.0) means the handicap-adjusted time is the same as the finish time
The handicaps can be imported via .TXT start list upload or configured on the app
The results will show both the actual finish times as well as handicap-adjusted times and the racer handicap
Example results with percentage handicaps:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=7204
Penalty-adjusted results
You can set penalties per racer & show the penalties in results
Penalties can be numeric or time-based
Numeric penalties can be configured to cause an automatic time penalty of set amount
Time-based "penalties" can be positive (a bonus) or negative (a penalty)
Results will show both the actual finish time and penalty-adjusted time
Example results with penalties:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=11423
MULTI-DEVICE TIMING
Name sync
Record time stamps with one device and racer names with another device
The devices can be set to sync the data over the internet or via Bluetooth
The "Name sync" feature allows you to time a large race without bibs
The time stamp device records finish times
Racers are handed a sequence number on a sticker / popsicle at finish
Racers check in at a results desk with the 2nd device to report their name & sequence number
The two devices sync the data via an internet or a Bluetooth connection
Alternatively, you can record the names in order of finish at the end of the finish chute
The results can be posted live, as soon as the time & racer name is combined
Example race with name sync:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=11477
Bib sync
Record time stamps with one device and bibs with another device
The devices can be set to sync their data over the internet or via Bluetooth
You can sync during the race or wait until the end of the race to combine the times and the bibs
If the synching is done during the race, the results can be posted live
The bib sync device will also record the time when the bib was entered as a backup
Example race with bib sync:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=9503
Multi-device splits
Time a point-to-point race with 2 devices, one to record the start times and another to record the finish times
Or use multiple devices to time a multi-lap race, each device recording one or more laps
There is no limit how many devices can be used to time the same race
A 3-stage enduro where each start and finish are located away from each other can be recorded with 6 devices
Results can be posted live from each device (if the devices have internet connectivity)
Or results can be collected to a 7th device via Bluetooth
The devices can be any mix of iOS, Android, or Windows devices
Each device will simply record the time for each racer, similar to recording times on paper
When results are posted to the website, the results are calculated by the server
When results are collected via Bluetooth, the receiving app calculates the results
Example results from a multi-device splits race:
www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=9230
