For competitions with judges
Judges score on their phones. Shortlists, ties and final placings resolve themselves while you run the show.

Getting ready
By the night itself there’s nothing left to do but send links and watch the marks come in. That’s the point.
Rounds, what gets marked in each, and out of what. Add your entrants with photographs so judges recognise who’s walked on. Then invite the panel — each gets their own link and a four-digit PIN.
Two minutes each, while the room is empty and the network is quiet. It’s the single thing most worth doing early.
Marks arrive as they’re tapped. Rounds close when the last judge submits. The shortlist is on screen before the host has finished thanking the sponsors.
From people who’ve run one
None of it is hypothetical.
It happens. Close the round without that judge and keep going — the other marks still count and nobody waits.
Three hundred people arrive with phones and the network gives up. Marks queue on the judge’s device and send themselves when it returns. They won’t notice.
They can’t here. Nobody sees a total but their own until the round closes.
The panel votes, privately, seeing photographs but no scores. If they split, the head judge decides. Whatever settles it gets printed.
Show them. Every mark, every judge, every category, timestamped. The conversation becomes about the marking rather than the maths.
She taps a link, types four digits, and sees one person at a time with two big buttons. There is nothing else on the screen to get wrong.
Not just pageants
You decide the rounds, what gets marked and out of what. A dog show and a debating final work the same way.
