Gate Judge Tutorial

This RaceGorilla gate judge tutorial shows how to use the RaceGorilla Competition app for judging.
For different sports, there are different score formats. The race organizer will set the judge sections and assign the number of scored gates or obstacles.
The main goal of using the app for judging, is to have results and scores updated live on the internet. Scores are transferred directly into our database and not in the app. A paper judging log should be kept as an official document in case of protest or inquiries.
Read through the steps below, but if you prefer to watch a video, just click the on this picture.

Time needed: 15 minutes

Timing and scoring a RaceGorilla Competition is a team effort. Try to practice together with the starter and finisher and with a live result display to see whats happens.

  7. Did Not Finish situations

    If an athlete leaves the track or course, the section judge should mark this athlete as DNF. This can be done by tapping the DNF button on the left lower part of the screen. A dialog box will appear to confirm the DNF. If DNF is confirmed the athlete will not be visible anymore to the next gate judges an finisher.

  8. Last score entered

    If there is no new athlete on course yet, the last athlete will stay visible in your screen until this athletes has actually finished. A small check-mark (v) will be visible in the validate button

    Made a mistake?
    Judge scores can be changed until the athlete is finished, After that time it is only possible to change score in the competition dashboard by the race management.
