VeraTime is a connected timing workspace for ski clubs, coaches, race directors, starters, finishers, and spectators. TIME TRIALS Give every athlete as many runs as needed. VeraTime tracks each bib's fastest time, average, standard deviation, and fastest combined runs, with separate or combined men's and women's results. TEAM AND INDIVIDUAL RACING Run two-run Slalom, GS, Super-G, Downhill, or custom events. Assign athletes by team and sex, organize Varsity and JV groups by start order, and score by points or combined time. HAND TIMING Record start and finish time of day as a dependable backup to the primary timing system. Handle reruns, unknown finishers, DNF results, swapped times, bib corrections, and excluded runs without losing the original audit trail. CONNECTED RACE-DAY ROLES Race Director, Start Timer, Finish Timer, and optional Spectator views stay in sync through Firebase. Crew presence indicators help the Director see whether timers are active, idle, or offline. RACE RADIO Hold to record short voice updates for race officials. Messages include sender, role, timestamp, duration, and speech-to-text transcription. Audio is removed after 24 hours while the transcript remains with the race. RESULTS AND EXPORT Sort live tables by the column that matters in the moment. Final results, CSV/Excel exports, clipboard copy, and Director audit logs are available with a 24-hour pass or monthly/annual subscription. VeraTime supports Light, Dark, and Follow System appearance modes. Live timing is free in every race mode. The 24-hour pass never renews. Monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically until canceled.
