Peer Reviewed & Fact Checked

1. Live Results Board

A QR on the programme or the field display links to a live results page updated by the scorer on a tablet. Parents who are circulating can check results without fighting for a position near the scoreboard.

2. School Records

A QR links to the athletics record board: current school records per event, age group, and year. Student competitors see what they are aiming for. Records update in real time when broken.

3. Photo Sharing Hub

A QR on the day's programme links to a shared photo album where parents upload their own photos. The school moderation team approves before images appear. A shared record available to all families.

4. Event Schedule

A QR links to the current running order, with completed events struck through and upcoming events highlighted. Helps parents plan when to return for their child's event.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should parent photos require moderation before appearing in the shared album?

Yes. A moderation step protects against inadvertent sharing of images of other children without parental consent.

Can the results QR page work without mobile data on a sports field?

Implement as a PWA with frequent background sync. Field connectivity varies; offline caching prevents a blank page.
