Judge
Bib, then one tap: yellow or red, ~ or <. Their own log to check — no names, no other judges, no totals.
Judging under World Athletics TR 54
The judges keep judging. The paperwork is done for them.
Yellow and red cards, the penalty zone and disqualifications — recorded live from any phone browser, checked against the rule book as they arrive, and written straight into the World Athletics summary sheet.

Every time is stamped by the server in the meet's timezone.
How it fits together
Organisation, meet, race.
Three layers, set up in minutes. Import the schedule and start lists straight from Roster Athletics, or type a field in by hand.
Organisation
Your association or club
Sees only its own meets, races and officials' work — never another organisation's.
Meet
A day of competition
Holds the venue, the timezone, the chief judge and recorder, and the judging panel.
Race
One event
Men's 20 km, Women's 10 km — each with its own athletes, cards and summary sheet.
The panel belongs to the meet, not the race. A judge logs in once and can card athletes in every race of that meet — including races running at the same time. The bib decides which race a card belongs to, so nothing is ever switched on the phone.
Six screens, one race
Every official sees exactly what their job needs.
Nothing to install. Officials open a web address on whatever device they have.
Phone or tablet
Penalty zone
Who is due, who is in, and the dwell time counting down on the server's clock.
Laptop
Chief judge
The live board. Last-100 m disqualification, notification times, and the decision on cards that arrive late.
Laptop
Recorder
The same board, plus corrections — times, cards, zone times, the start list and finishing places.
Any browser
Administrator
Organisations, meets, races, entries, the officials' registry and the panel. Exports, audit log, erasure.
Any browser
The public
The posting board: bibs, offence symbols and disqualifications, no names. No login needed.
TR 54, built in
The rule book is in the system, not in someone's head.
Change a card's time, void one, confirm a late arrival — the standing is re-derived on the spot, in both directions.
54.5
One paddle per judge, per athlete, per offence. A second is refused.
54.6
One red card per judge per athlete. Judges act alone and see nothing of each other.
54.7.1
Red cards count once per distinct judge — three of them decide.
54.7.3
Penalty zone by distance: 30 s to 5 min, worked out from the race, not typed in.
54.7.5
A fourth judge's red card after the zone: disqualified.
54.4.1
The last 100 m belongs to the chief judge alone — recorded in their name, whoever keys it.
54.3.2
A judge's screen shows a bib as valid or not. Never a name, never a tally.
54.7.7
The public board carries what the rule allows — red cards only — and nothing more.
What comes out of it
Paperwork, finished before the athletes are.
Judge record sheets
A printable set, one per judge, with the meet's logo — handed out at the briefing.
World Athletics summary sheet
The World Athletics prescribed summary sheet, filled in. The formatting and check formulas survive untouched.
A posting board for the venue
One screen per race, or a meet-wide board when more than one races are run at the same time.
A feed for scoreboard and broadcast
A read-only graphics API — name, affiliation, cards and disqualification, ready for a lower third. Revocable machine keys, no passwords in config files.
What it takes to run
Less than you'd think.
0
apps to install — officials open a web address.
6
digits: an official's PIN, and the whole of their login — for life, across every meet.
2+
races at once, sharing one panel and one screen. The bib knows which race it's in.
6
languages available for use on the officials' screens: English, Ελληνικά, Español, Français, Italiano, 简体中文.
If the internet fails. A judge's card is kept on the phone and sent the moment the signal returns.
