Rider numbers and scores are recorded electronically on the device and can then be emailed to a results team in CSV format. #### Online Observer Trial details - number of sections etc. are downloaded from the web. Rider numbers and scores are recorded electronically on the device and are then emailed/uploaded to a webserver for processing. An observer would normally observe a single section - however, it is possible to observer more than one by changing the section number in the Settings. #### Online Rider Each rider records their own scores throughout the event. Following the event, these scores are emailed/uploaded to a webserver for processing. #### Online Group A group of up to six riders score themselves throughout the trial on a shared device. Following the event, these scores are emailed/uploaded to a webserver for processing. #### Timing mode Timekeeper records rider finish times and sequence for Time and Observation trials. Following the event, these times are emailed/uploaded to a webserver for processing. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
