Scoring Software that Grows with Your Timing Business

RaceDay Scoring runs the local 5K your newest staff member is learning on and city races with more than 40,000 participants, using the same software and the same data.

Version 6 Built for Speed at Scale

V6 completes a multi-year rebuild in Rust. Background tasks finish in as little as 50 milliseconds, so you can run reports, edit participants and adjust timing logic mid-race without waiting. Read about V6.

Quick Setup for New Timers

An intuitive interface, a free certification course and practice scenarios get new staff ready before race day, and one-on-one training is there when you need it.

Customization for Complex Events

Custom divisions, data actions, computed fields and prediction run scoring cover relays, lap events, last-runner-standing ultras and whatever else your races come up with. See how RaceDay Scoring handles weird scoring situations.

Central Engine for RaceDay Technology

Scoring syncs in real time with registration, RaceDay CheckIn, RaceDay Mobile, RaceJoy and RaceDay Results, so bib changes and reads move across the suite without imports.

What Timers Say about RaceDay Scoring

“I hate change! But I like the ease of RDS and the integration with RunSignup is a big time saver. They keep improving and adding requested features, too.”

Terri LaPoint Kaczor

“I got into timing 3-4 years ago so I went straight to RaceDay Scoring. As someone who was a beginner, I found RDS to be very intuitive, easy to understand, and the support is great.”

Jimmy Balmer

“We were reluctant to change after using the same software for 12 years. We have no regrets changing; do it!”

Ryan Walsh — Bryn Mawr Racing

FAQ: All About RaceDay Scoring

What types of events use RaceDay Scoring?

Timers use RaceDay Scoring for run/walks, trail races, ultras, cross country, triathlons and other multi-sport events, cycling, mountain biking, open water swims, paddle events, Nordic races, relays, aggregate team events and lap events. It handles local 5Ks and events with more than 40,000 participants.

Which chip timing systems work with RaceDay Scoring?

RaceDay Scoring works with all major chip timing systems, including MYLAPS, ChronoTrack, RFID and RACE RESULT. RunSignup is a recognized MYLAPS and RACE RESULT scoring partner in the Americas. Custom file type streams let you pull reads from any hardware that outputs times in a structured format, and RaceDay Mobile and photo-based timing reads can serve as backups.

Can I score a race without an internet connection?

Yes. RaceDay Scoring is installed locally and all scoring runs offline. Changes are saved on your computer and sync with RunSignup and your cloud backups once you’re back online.

Can I use RaceDay Scoring with other registration platforms?

Yes. RaceDay Scoring works with any registration provider. You can import participants by spreadsheet or sync through the Open API with registration companies that support it. Two-way sync, where corrections in scoring flow back to registration automatically, is available when the race is on RunSignup.

How much does RaceDay Scoring cost?

RaceDay Scoring is included in the RaceDay Real-Time Suite annual subscription, which is $199 per timing company. RaceJoy Certified Timers also get unlimited RaceJoy use under that license for events on RunSignup registration. See RaceDay Real-Time Suite pricing.

How hard is it to switch from my current scoring software?

Most timers switch in three steps: rescore a past race in RaceDay Scoring, run it alongside your current software at a live race, then move over fully. One longtime timer estimates it takes three or four races to feel comfortable. There are transition guides for timers coming from RunScore, The Race Director and ChronoTrack Live, and our team offers free one-on-one training.
