Spectator Judging enables fans to get in the judge’s seat and create audience scores and rankings in real-time during the competitions. Co-innovated with SAP and created as a revolutionary new idea with CHIO Aachen in 2013 to let the audience become personally engaged in the judging of dressage and vaulting tournaments, Spectator Judging meanwhile has become a highly welcomed fan offering at forward-thinking tournaments of all sizes up to the FEI World Cup Dressage Series. In 2017, Black Horse One and SAP, the market leader in enterprise application software, have joined forces bundling their expert knowledge in technology and fan engagement to present the new ‘Spectator Judging’ app – powered by SAP technology. GENERAL INFORMATION Choose between one of the following modes: · full mode: Full movement by movement scoring · short mode: Shortened test sheet · quick-mode: Single end result · young horses-mode: three marks for the gaits, one for the submission and one for the perspective Compare your results to the average of other spectators and to the scores of the official judges and help to make dressage events even more exciting! Event organisers may restrict which of these options are possible. Find a list of all supported events here: http://blackhorse88.com/projects/spectator-judging/#anchor_events Your marks and scores are stored on our server using an anonymised version of this device's primary e-mail address. We will not publish your individual data. You will find more information on this topic on the first launch.

POPS FLOW protects the performance you have built. It measures the attentional load of your life around the effort (the hours before a session, taper week, recovery between two blocks) and helps you take back control of your phone. NEW: POPS AI ATTENTION COMPANION and IPHONE DUO Your attention companion lives in the app's sphere, in the 4×2 widget and on the Lock Screen. It follows your FLOW Score live, spots when your attention wears down and suggests the right move at the right time: a break, a protection, an exercise. Reply by text or by voice. It uses Apple Intelligence when your iPhone supports it, and built-in replies otherwise: your conversations stay on your iPhone. AN INSTRUMENT, NOT A WELLNESS APP You track your body with a watch and a power meter. POPS FLOW gives you the same kind of instrument for your attention: a score, its trend and its margin of uncertainty, shown the way a heart-rate monitor states its own. It does not measure your attention during a race: nobody can, and we will never promise it. FOUR DIMENSIONS - TRACK: your live FLOW Score, the curve of your day, your usage, your protection and your reports (day, week, month, year). - TRAIN: 4 tests to measure yourself (full assessment in 10 minutes) and attention exercises in four families (Focus, Control, Recovery, Performance), with today's session. - TARGET: a dated goal, your FLOW Score trend toward your target and a 4-week programme. - TUNE: protected time slots that follow your rhythm (training, competition, sleep, recovery), four protection levels, limits and alerts. If you set nothing up, POPS watches your habits for a few days, then suggests your first rules: at night, the hour before sleep, the hour after waking. Nothing is switched on without your consent. Recovery: heart-rate variability, sleep and resting heart rate, read from Health, read-only. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU Everything is computed on your iPhone. iOS only gives us threshold crossings, as opaque tokens: never the content, never the names of your apps. Nothing goes to our servers without your consent. Email reports, coach link and research participation are three separate, revocable switches; turning one off erases what had been shared. No ads. No profiling. No data brokers. FREE OR PERFORMANCE POPS FLOW is a free download: today's FLOW Score, the companion and widget, protections, 7 days of history and 3 sessions a week. The Performance subscription adds TRAIN, unlimited sessions, full history, health data and full export: €14.99 a month or €129 a year, with a free first week for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple account. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple account settings. Terms of Use: https://pops.fr/cgu Privacy Policy: https://pops.fr/confidentialite POPS FLOW is developed by POPS, within Inria Startup Studio.
