Question 1

What is RecordBoard?

Accepted Answer

RecordBoard is the operating system for track & field meets. It's a cross-device platform that covers the entire meet — sprints, hurdles, relays, throws, jumps, and distance. Officials can record results digitally, manage flights and heats, and share live scoreboards with coaches and spectators.

Question 2

Is RecordBoard free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RecordBoard has a free plan that lets you run competitions at no cost. Paid plans unlock additional meets, advanced features, and team management tools. Check the Pricing page for current plan details.

Question 3

What events does RecordBoard support?

Accepted Answer

RecordBoard supports the complete track & field meet: sprints, hurdles, relays, distance, shot put, discus, hammer, javelin, long jump, triple jump, high jump, and pole vault. We cover the full meet experience, not just a subset of events.

Question 4

Does it work without an internet connection?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RecordBoard is built to work offline. You can run a full competition without any cell service. All data is stored locally and syncs automatically when connectivity returns. This is especially important for outdoor meets where signal can be unreliable.

Question 5

Does it work on Android and iOS?

Accepted Answer

RecordBoard works in the browser on any device — iPhone, Android phone, iPad, Android tablet, or laptop. A native iOS app is also available. Android native app support is on the roadmap.

Question 6

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Create a free account at recordboard.io/sign-up. From there you can set up your first meet, create a competition, add competitors, and start recording results. No training required — the interface is designed to be intuitive enough to use on meet day.

Question 7

Can spectators follow along in real time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every competition has a public scoreboard that updates in real time as results are recorded. Spectators can follow from any device without creating an account — just share the link.

Question 8

Can I export results?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Results can be exported after a competition. We are actively working on additional export formats (including Athletic.net-compatible formats) to make it easier to integrate with meet management systems you may already use.

Question 9

Who built RecordBoard?

Accepted Answer

RecordBoard was built by a solo founder with a background in track & field. The product was born out of frustration with paper flight sheets and the lack of modern tools for meet management. Learn more on the About page.
