The 5 steps to running an event with live results

Running an event with live results adds an exciting dimension for riders and can reduce admin for event organisers. Once you have finalised your event start sheet, here are the main steps to running the event with live results:

1. Creating the event in ResultSheet

Firstly, you need to either create or upload your start sheet into ResultSheet.

• If you are running an open event, follow these instructions
• If you are running a club event, follow these

2. Distributing the start sheet link and creating a QR code

Once a start sheet has either been created or uploaded, ResultSheet will create a unique link that can be distributed to riders and used to create a QR code for your sign-on table.

Instructions on finding the unique link and creating a QR code can be found here.

For open events, we recommend distributing the link to your riders using the CTT email system a few days before the event is due to start.

Print the QR code ready for display at your sign-on table on the day of the event.

The event should now also appear on the ResultSheet website here.

3. Rider sign on

Display the QR code clearly on the sign-on table and make riders aware of it as they are signing on. They will be able to point their smart phone at the QR code to get a link to the results.

If you are displaying results on a larger screen, make sure the ResultSheet HQ report is running. Instructions on how to set that up can be found here.

4. Entering results

Once the event is underway, your time recorder can enter results using either a mobile device or desktop. Instructions on how to enter results can be found here.

Both the ResultSheet HQ and mobile event reports will update automatically as the results are entered, normally with a 10-15 minute delay.

5. After the event

Once the event is complete, correct any rider results that are queried until you are happy the result sheet is accurate. You can then export the results as required:

• For open events, instructions on exporting results for sending back to the CTT can be found here
• Instructions for exporting results for other uses can be found here
