Race operation modes

Your race.
Your rules.

The Match Director chooses how timing is captured for each event. Both modes run on the same platform, share the same live dashboards, and produce the same clean data export.

Mode 01
Runner‑Tracked
Runner carries a mobile device

Each competitor carries their phone on course. They self-stamp stage arrivals using unlock codes, self-time their wait at the stage, and the Range Officer confirms shoot times. Timing data is captured at the source — accurate, distributed, and fully offline-capable.

  • Runner enters stage unlock code on arrival — stamps entry time automatically
  • End Wait mode — runner taps when done waiting, then proceeds to shoot
  • RO enters shoot time and confirms with their stage code
  • All data writes to device locally — syncs when signal returns
  • GPS pickup assist — runner can send location to officials if needed
Mode 02
RO‑Tracked
Range Officer manages all timing

Runners don't carry a device. The Range Officer at each stage checks runners in, records wait times, and enters shoot times — all from the RO Dashboard. Ideal for events where carrying a phone on course isn't practical or desired.

  • RO checks each runner in at their stage from the RO Dashboard
  • RO records wait time and enters shoot time directly
  • No runner device required — nothing for competitors to carry or manage
  • Match Director sees the same live Course Dashboard either way
  • Same clean CSV export with full per-stage data
⚙ The Match Director selects the timing mode when configuring each race. Both modes support multi-lap races, stage bonuses, FTN tracking, obstacle scoring, and all export formats.

Platform features

Everything the
course needs.

Purpose-built for stage-based shooting sports — not adapted from a generic timing tool. Every feature reflects how these events actually run.

🏁
Full Race Configuration
Configure stages, par times, scoring weights, stage bonuses, obstacle rules, unlock codes, and RO confirmation codes. Multi-lap mode with configurable lap stages and direction assignments.
Multi-lap support
📡
Offline-First
Runner timing data writes to on-device storage the instant it happens — no signal needed. Live dashboards use connectivity when available and degrade gracefully when they don't.
Remote range ready
🔐
Stage & RO Codes
Each stage has a unique unlock code runners enter to stamp arrival. Range Officers use a separate confirmation code to validate shoot times. No ambiguity. No disputes. Fully customizable per race.
Per-stage codes
📊
Live Course Dashboard
Every stage simultaneously — queue depth, runners en route, average wait and shoot times, active shooter elapsed time. Separate display URL for a big screen at the command post.

About RG Timer

Built for
the field.

RG Timer is purpose-built for Tactical Biathlon and Run & Gun competitions — a growing discipline where athletes combine endurance running with live-fire shooting stages under real field conditions. This isn't software built in a vacuum. It's built by people who compete in these events and run them.

Our leadership has firsthand experience from both sides of the start line — as athletes on the course and as support staff behind the scenes. We know what the match director needs at 0600 when the first wave goes out. We know what the RO needs at a remote stage with limited signal. We know what the runner needs when they're miles in and tired.

Every feature in RG Timer was designed around those real moments — not around what software companies think a timing app should do. Use the built-in scoring, or export clean data and plug it into your own. Run one race or several simultaneously. Work from a laptop at the command post or a phone at the range. The platform adapts to how you run your event — not the other way around.
