Running a Smoother Event by Role Delegation

Separating responsibilities without a bottleneck or information funnel

We have introduced roles as a critical part of the system. In other systems, the timer is responsible for everything which often creates information overload and a bit of panic when you are trying to enter car numbers, enter cones from the cone counter, mark a DNF, all while ensuring the times are coming in correctly for the correct car… all at the same exact time. That’s a lot to ask, let alone a lot to ask with 100% accuracy or no delays.

With AXti.me RM Roles, we have broken out responsiblitiy: Time Keeper, Cone Counter and Car Queuer among others. Each now have their own customized screen tailored to the role’s specific needs.

Other software makes you install the same software on up to 7 laptops or desktops. Not only that, then you have to figure out how to use it. With RM, you install it on one computer, use as many laptops, desktops, tablets or smartphones as you like to access it. It is also very obvious which screen to use, for example a Cone Counter uses the Cone Counter screen easily found via the big button on the Event’s Home screen.

CONE COUNTER

Start capturing those stations info too

While the old way of the cone counter (to receive all the radio communication while also telling the timer about it) works ok, it does create congestion, missed cones and more strain on the timer. Now, the cone counter has their own screen and no need to communicate with anyone else. They simply press the +1 or -1 buttons to increase or decrease the cone count for a driver. Super easy. No communication breakdown. Less worry for the timer.

CAR QUEUER

The simplest most frustration free way

Instead of the timer being responsible for entering car numbers or a worker out scanning bar codes, we have a role for that. The Car Queuer’s sole responsibility is to enter cars into the queue in the correct order. They are responsible for it and with that we have an easy to use and quick way to get cars into the Queue. We even have an iOS app that makes it so a monkey can do it.
