Public Display..scrolling results?

[David Lustig]

Going to attempt the public display on Friday night. I was playing with it in a prior race but it does not appear to scroll through all of the results..only shows most recent finishers.

Does the Public Display scroll? I also see that team scores can be shown...do these update automatically with finishers as well?

The public display no longer scrolls. Prior to the current design, I had numerous request to be able to show more than one finisher at a time. The old version only showed one finisher at a time and many people found it more useful to show a user-defined list of most recent finishers. I think some also mentioned they didn't like it scrolling through old finishers because that seemed like a waste and encouraged people to crowd around the finish line. So they would rather use the Results Kiosk screen (which allows you to hide the bib # entry section on the right) or the scrolling results view on RunSignUp to show scrolling results.

As for the team scores, yes, those should update in real time as people finish. :)

Is there anyway to set the Public Display up to have the option to scroll or not to scroll.  I've had multiple request for scrolling results at our XC races again even though the Arrow Live Results have been working great this season.

Robert, I don't think there is right now.  Previously, I think it used to scroll.  But then people complained that it created a desire for people to stand around the finish line... loitering, excess people standing around the finish line. Which I understand.

But it'd be nice if there was a button available where we could simply designed whether or not we wanted the results to scroll or not. I haven't had an issue of people crowding. Most people just check their time/place and quickly walk off.

Is there any way to have the Results Kiosk linked to the Race Timing like the Phot Capture is. Would be great when the runner crosses the finish line it not only captures their time but also automatically prints the lable. We currently have two mats set up. One to capture time and the other for the Results Kiosk. The problem with this set up is having to close out the timing and open the Results Kiosk and then having to re open timing. We print a lable for every finisher and stick to their finisher award.. Thanks

Any help with this would be great

I'm not aware of anyone else trying to do it that way. Seems like I'd do one of the following instead:

• Use the built-in Results Labels report. You can print this from the main timing PC while the race is in progress.
  • 

• Set up the "backup database path" to a public shared folder and the Kiosk computer will automatically pull a copy of the database over automatically while timing. Use that to print labels instead of setting up a whole different system just to capture times. You can see how to setup the network between the kiosk and main timing PC here: https://youtu.be/T9YmUhHRjG0
