StormRun is a simple to use timekeeper App for any sport - ideal for any timing application involving more than one participant. It is particularly suited for time trial events by allowing any number of participants to start together in each heat. FEATURES > StormRun is intuitive and simple to use. > No limit to the number of participants overall or starting/finishing in each heat. > The App handles timings for each participant automatically. > Participants can be identified manually or by using ID Tags > It is possible to start participants as others are finishing > Allows restarts after false starts REGISTRATION STAGE Participants are registered in the App by entering their details (name, number, and team). This information can be allocated to Tags to simplify identification. This information can be saved and recalled later. STARTING PARTICIPANTS Participants to be started for each heat are registered by either selecting their details from the previously entered list or by simply reading their ID Tags. When ready, they are started together, and their time is logged. This is then repeated for participants starting in the next heat and so on, until all participants have been started. PARTICIPANTS FINISHING As participants finish, they are either manually entered as they finish or by simply reading their ID Tags. In both cases the time duration is measured, and a leader board updated with finish times and position. It should be noted, it is possible to start participants whilst others are finishing. Also, participants times can be adjusted if necessary. ID TAGS The ID Tags are low-cost items usually worn as wrist straps or can be attached to clothing. They are available on the internet from various sites or from Ebay, simply search “StormTag”. Doc: AppStoreDescription_002.docx
