Multi-Coach Timing: Every Coach, Every Device, Always in Sync

ArenaGear lets a whole coaching staff see and control the same timing gates from their own phones, and lets parents in the stands follow along live.

Most timing systems assume one coach holding one phone. Real testing days don't work that way. There's a head coach, two assistants, a strength coach floating between stations, and a volunteer running check-in. When the timer only lives on one device, everyone else is waiting, guessing or shouting names across the field.

ArenaGear works differently. When coaches are logged into your organization account, every coach and assistant can receive results and control the gates from their own device, and every change syncs to everyone instantly.

One roster, updated everywhere at once

When one coach adds a walk-up athlete, fixes a name or moves someone to a different class, every other coach gets the change instantaneously. No re-typing, no "which phone has the right list?"

Who's up next? Everyone knows.

  • One coach changes the next participant or skips an athlete, and every coach's device updates immediately.
  • When an athlete scans their wristband, every coach's device switches to that athlete.
  • Each time lands on the right athlete, no matter whose phone started the run.

Hand off a station without missing a rep

One coach goes to lunch; another picks up the same test station and keeps it running seamlessly. When the first coach comes back, all the data on their phone is up to date, including every run that happened while they were away. There's no syncing step, no export and import, and no lost reps.

Parents in the stands follow along live

Parents don't have to wait for an email on Monday. They can follow results in real time two ways:

  • The public leaderboard: a dedicated website set up to display that event's results in real time, on any phone or browser.
  • The ArenaGear app: parents can run the app on their own phones and follow along. They can see everything, but they can't make any changes.

Parents love it. They see their athlete's time a moment after the beam breaks, and coaches don't have to field "what did he run?" questions all afternoon.
