Event Timing Automation for Referees
Let your AI agent handle all race timing and reporting, so you can focus on officiating. No more mistakes or late submissions—just accurate logs, ready when you need them.
As a referee, you’re juggling Excel sheets, handwritten notes, and stopwatch apps like Race Timer or Google Sheets. Every second you spend tracking times is a second you’re distracted from the action. One missed entry or calculation can lead to disputes, lost trust, and hours spent fixing records after the event.
An AI agent that records, calculates, and exports race and event times for referees, eliminating manual errors and speeding up official reporting.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In the sports and media industry, referees are responsible for capturing precise race and segment times, often using Excel, Google Sheets, or paper logs. Manual entry means constantly checking timestamps, recalculating durations, and correcting errors before submitting official reports. These tasks pile up during busy events, making it hard to focus on officiating and risking mistakes that can affect competition outcomes.
