RaceGorilla is an easy-to-use platform for timing ski races. Ideal for small to mid-sized races, it offers the experience of a high-end event. Setting up a race takes just a few clicks, and apart from some smartphones, no additional hardware is needed to get the results online. It’s a high-tech, yet cost-effective solution for timing ski races.
RaceGorilla is a comprehensive race management and timing platform, comprising three major parts: the timing and scoring app, a race management dashboard, and a results page. The app can be used as a manual timing tool or connected to a photo beam using the BlueBox.
The app, used for timing ski races
The iPhone and Android App is designed to be as easy to operate as possible. If you want to organize a race for your ski school or club, you just need one smartphone at the start and one at the finish.
Simply download the app, register at www.Racegorilla.com and create a competition , enter the participants and start timing.
For a simple race such as a kids ski class or club training, it can be just a start and finish setup, but at some races, there might be splits and judge sections. One of the great things about RaceGorilla is that no matter how complex the race setup becomes, the task for the volunteers, coaches or ski-instructors remains the same.
The results screen.
On the results screen, the audience can view the race results live from anywhere in the world. Fans on the slope can follow the race on their mobile phones, while friends and family at home can see the running time, penalties, and ranking just seconds after crossing the finish line, just like in a high-end race. The race sponsor can be added to the page, creating a perfect platform for a wide audience to receive targeted commercial messages.
The race management dashboard
As a race manager, you can adjust virtually any setting you want from the online race management dashboard. Set up a competition with rounds, heats, and timing points. Manage participants and volunteers, change scores, and print results. Everything needed to run your race can be viewed and managed from the dashboard.
