RaceRanger

RaceRanger is the officiating platform built specifically for triathlon and cycling Technical Officials, Technical Delegates, and Organisation Admins. Manage races, report penalties and incidents, coordinate your team, and review live drafting data — on phone, tablet, or web at app.raceranger.com.

★ KEY FEATURES ★

PENALTIES, INCIDENTS, AI ASSISTANCE
• One-tap penalty and incident reporting with automatic geolocation.
• Voice AI: dictate a penalty or incident hands-free — useful on a motorbike or at a busy course position. Voice recognition supports a wide range of languages.
• Text AI assistance for fast classification when typing is faster than tapping.
• Add photos and videos to any submission, including after it's been submitted.
• Tag and notify specific stakeholders directly from a report.
• Dedicated incident categories for DNF, DNS, Lapped, and Eliminated, with filter toggles in the incident list.

DRAFTING DEVICE INTEGRATION
• Live drafting view for bike officials, showing real-time status (clear, warn, drafting), accumulated drafting time, and which athlete each rider is drafting behind.
• Drafting evidence is flagged on penalties so the post-race review is unambiguous.
• Drafting data also appears on the web race-control dashboard.

WEB RACE CONTROL (VCC)
• A dedicated browser dashboard at app.raceranger.com for officials monitoring the race from a control room.
• Live penalty list, incident list, race log, course map, athlete tracker — all updating in real time.
• Access controlled by role permissions.

DEVICE & TEAM COORDINATION
• QR-code device sign-in works with any camera app — set up a shared or dedicated device in seconds.
• Dedicated tracking devices: hand off location duty to a phone designated as the active tracker; the app falls back to a standard phone automatically if the dedicated device drops off.
• Tablet-optimised interface for race management on larger screens.
• Use a secondary phone as a remote camera and hand media off to the primary device.

LOCATION TRACKING
• Real-time positions of officials on the course map for live coordination.
• Background tracking continues even when the app is closed, with battery-conscious motion-aware updates.
• Three-state sharing indicator in race mode so each official knows exactly whether their position is live.

CHAT & NOTIFICATIONS
• Multiple concurrent chats, per-incident threads, quote-to-scroll-back navigation, video upload progress, and read receipts.
• Push notifications for assignments, incidents, race state changes, and approvals.
• Tap a notification to jump straight to the relevant screen.

CUSTOMISATION & ACCESSIBILITY
• Multi-language interface: English, Czech, German, French, Spanish.
• Voice commands available in many more languages.
• Metric and imperial unit support.
• Per-race-type roles with fine-grained permissions for technical officials, delegates, and admins.

EVENT INTEGRATION & SHARING
• World Triathlon event integration for one-step event setup and athlete sync.
• Share race data with World Triathlon, local organising committees, and media contacts.
• Race reports for post-event review and distribution.

PRACTICE
• Demo mode lets every official rehearse the app on a non-live event before race day.
