Finisher Tutorial

This is the finish tutorial. Read through these steps if you are going to assist at a RaceGorilla Competition, or watch the video if you prefer.
It is important to practice before the the race as finishing can get stressful at times.

Time needed: 15 minutes.

This RaceGorilla finisher tutorial shows how to finish participants in a RaceGorilla Competition. It is important to practice these scenario’s before to the race. It’s always more difficult when the real race starts. These working principles apply to the split timer as well.
Timing a RaceGorilla Competition is a team effort. Try to practice together with the starter and with a live result display to see whats happens.

  5. Finish a participant

    The athletes will appear in your finish screen as soon as the start is confirmed by the starter.
    In time trial competitions, the order of finishing is mostly the same as at the start. The next athlete to cross the finish line is marked green just above the finish button. Tap on the finish button as the selected athlete is crossing the finish line. The running time to the right of the athlete will stop and a green arrow will appear to the left of the name. Tap on the arrow to confirm the time and send it to the server.
    Be aware: Only after confirming the results will be updated online!
    In a mass start race, the Keypad screen provides a faster and easier way to select a participant. Go to the Keypad ViewTutorial to learn more.

  6. Finishing another athlete

    In case an athlete has been overtaken during the race, or you are timing a mass start event. Just select the next athlete approaching finish line by tapping on the name of this athlete once. This participant will be selected and can be timed immediately.

    Tapping twice will cause this participant to be moved down the list, and being placed just above the finish button. Then just tap the finish button as he or she crosses the finish line. If you can see a group of athletes approaching the finish line, you can pre-select them by double tapping.

  7. Close finish situations

    It is possible to finish multiple athletes within a very short time. Just tap the finish button one time for each athlete crossing the finish line. If needed the order can be changed afterwards: Swipe from right to left across the name of the athlete who has got the first time. Select the re-assign button by tapping on it. Choose the correct athlete that finished at that finished first. In most cases just 2 athletes are in a close finish situation. The times will be swapped while re-assigning. If there is 3 or more athletes to re-assign, it might take some effort to reassign them all.

  8. Did Not Finish

    If possible, Did-Not-Finish situations should not be handled by the finisher, as it is not happening at the finish line. It should be handled by the course judges. However, in some cases it might be just as easy to DNF participants by the finisher.
    Just swipe left across an unfinished athlete. Then tab the DNF button and confirm.
