In addition to timing events, in which results are determined by speed, Swiss Timing also specializes in customized software and hardware used to track the scores of athletes whose performances are determined by judges.

For example, in snowboarding, Swiss Timing has developed Live Judging software that features a Trick Selector function. It allows judges to record their scores during a rider’s run and transmit them directly to the head judge via a tablet device, making the results available less than a minute after the completion of a run.

We have also introduced a high-definition scoring system for figure skating. Each move performed by the skater is evaluated instantly and reviewed using our combined scoring and HD video replay system. Magnified slow-motion sections of certain images and return motion help the panel to define the base value of the moves. The panel of judges verifies quality by entering marks for the grade of execution (GOE).

Judges can also review the skaters´ performances using the video replay system. Once the marks are entered on a touch screen tablet PC, the total element score is calculated and distributed to all the peripherals such as TV graphics, scoreboard, and Internet.

Swiss Timing develops scoring software and hardware according to the needs of a wide range of sports, and the systems have played a key role in contributing to accuracy and fairness in result calculation.
