XC QuickScore vs The Lap App

XC QuickScore removes guesswork from cross country meet scoring--fast, intuitive, and accurate...and on your phone. ...know fast, first. Designed for coaches, parents, runners and fans, XC QuickScore gives users three different options for tracking XC meet scores: 1) One team vs. the field scoring 2) Select teams vs. the remaining field 3) Whole field individual team scoring (up to 21 teams). Key Features: -Fast race scoring set up for 1-team-vs-field option (free!) -3 x split/score options plus finish line results -Support for multiple team set up and scoring -Large-field team tap grid for meets with over 8 teams -Real-time scoring with tiebreaker logic -Adjust finish order with Results Review -Save meets and races for later access -Share team results from app -Customize team names, abbreviations and colors -Copy race team setup from existing races -Unattached (non-scoring) runner tracking option XC QuickScore is built as a tool to empower coaches, parents and runners with real-time race score information. You can track just your team's score, scores for a handful of teams, or go all in and track everyone's scores up to 21 teams (for now...). Upgrade to pro to unlock Multi-team tracking, results reviewing, and saved results. For Scoring Option #1 (One Team vs. Field), the app has a quick, already set up screen that allows users to tap one of two buttons: Your Team and Vs. Teams. As runners pass (3 optional splits and finish line), users simply tap one of the two respective buttons to estimate the team's score at the split point or finish line. Quick, easy, powerful. Scoring Option #2 (Select Teams vs. Field) allows the user to add a tap button for specific teams they wish to track along with a group tap button option for everyone else. A great example use case for this is when you believe a race will likely come down to 2 or 3 teams and you don't want to worry about tapping separate buttons for each and every team. Like option #1, a user would tap the button for the focus teams and another button for everyone else (or also add an unattached button for no-team runners, if needed). This would then track the scores for the focus teams only and treat all other team runners as displacers (and ignore UNAT if needed). Scoring option #3 (whole field) allows a user to create and add up to 21 teams to a race and track each team's score individually like a traditional race scoring app. Including an unattached-runner button is also an option. I capped it at 21 because anything this made the interface a little crowded and unmanageable...but if the app takes, we could always make the capability to handle a larger field possible. The only known scoring shortfall is in situations where a race has teams with more runners participating in the race than are allowed to score and displace (for example, X school has 15 runners in the race but only 5 score and 2 displace/push) and an exhibition runner finishes ahead of an official team runner. The app currently assumes your top 7 (for example) finishers are your team's top scorers/displacers. This could be managed, however, through the Race Review function. Unattached (no team) runners have their own 'button' and are automatically removed from team scoring if their tap button is utilized). Also, note that app does allow for non-traditional team scoring options...so you can adjust by race the number of runners who score and those that displace/push.

The Lap App is a lap-counting and race-tracking tool for multi-lap track races. It is designed for track officials, timers, coaches, and meet personnel who need to keep track of how many laps each runner has remaining. In a race such as a 10,000 meters, you may have 20 runners completing 25 laps, with runners eventually lapping one another. The Lap App helps keep that race organized. Runners are identified by their hip numbers. As runners pass, enter their numbers and The Lap App automatically tracks each runner's laps to go, lap times, finish order, and race time. FAST RACE ENTRY Choose the input method that works best for you: • Voice Recognition • External Bluetooth or wired numerical keypad • On-screen keypad Input methods can be used interchangeably during a race. With Voice Recognition, simply say the runner's hip number followed by “comma.” A close-talking wired microphone can be especially effective in noisy track environments. KEEP YOUR ATTENTION ON THE RACE The race display is designed to show the information you need while the race is happening. The Lap App tracks laps remaining for every runner and highlights important race information. Early in a race when the runners are still together, enter 0 to record the pack at once. Enter individual hip numbers as they separate from the pack. Dynamic Pack Tracking continues to track runners remaining in the pack, so transition is easy. VOICE AND BEEP FEEDBACK Choose: • Beep Feedback • Voice Feedback • Both Voice Feedback announces the runner's hip number and laps remaining. Connect to an external Bluetooth speaker and the announcements can also be heard by the runners. When the first runner reaches one lap to go, The Lap App sounds the bell before announcing the final lap. Continuous Voice Recognition can remain active while earlier voice feedback is still playing. LAP TIMES AND RACE RESULTS The Lap Times screen records the lap-time history for every runner. This provides a useful audit trail if you need to investigate a missed or accidental extra entry. The App also records finishing order and race times. If an entry is made accidentally, a negative hip-number entry can be used to correct it. EXPORT Race results and lap data can be exported as a CSV file for saving or further processing. FREE AND PRO The free version is fully functional for races with up to 6 runners. There is no time limit. Lap App Pro unlocks unlimited runners. The free version gives you an opportunity to verify that The Lap App works with your equipment and race-day workflow before upgrading. The Lap App is intended for managing multi-runner track races. It is not designed as a personal workout lap counter.
