Dog sports shows need all the help they can get to keep things moving at a quick and efficient pace. As more and more people enter shows, trying to manage the process of getting dogs into the ring on-time becomes even more difficult. The Gate Steward app helps manage the processes at the gate digitally, and helps keeps things moving. You can use the app to check-in dogs, mark scratches, conflicts, move dogs around in the run order. It automatically updates the run orders for all competitors using the Agility Gate system, so they can see changes in real-time. It can also help reduce congestion around the ring since people don't need to crowd around the gate sheets trying to see which dogs are running next.
