Sidekick is your 'know-it-all' real-time personal show assistant for Ranch Sorting, Team Penning, and Team Roping events. SideKick keeps you 'in the know', entertained and up on all the 'goings on' for the whole dang show. Updates are in real-time, so every score, every team, every registration, shows up as it happens. No more running around, looking for posted rosters, or trips to the office. You now have all the show classes, all the registrations and who has open rides as of right now. You know all the teams, the ride orders, leaderboards, winners, and points. It's 'up to the minute' and It's right there in your pocket. There is even a 'Me' page that is just about you. What classes you are registered in, how many times you are entered, who you are teamed with, what teams are coming up right now in the current go, who you are riding with next, and what score you need to beat to be movin on. Your 'Me' page also gives you an instant summary total of your classes, teams, winnings and points. You can even find out how your buddy is doing riding at some other SortArena Powered ride event that is currently going on somewhere else in North America. It's kinda fun to be able to look in on what's going on at other events. A great SideKick keeps an ear to the ground and always watches your back. That's SideKick by SortArena.com.
