The Award Ceremony

This is the moment the whole evening has been building toward. The header turns gold. The dashboard message says: "Scroll down to Awards section and start the ceremony." Every award is assigned, every position is final. All that's left is the reveal.

The MC has their microphone. The room is listening. On every parent's phone, the public page is about to come alive.

The Award Cards

Scroll down to the Awards section and you'll see every award laid out as a card. Each card shows the winner's name, their position in the category, race stats, and category badge — all on a gradient background that matches the place. Gold gradient for first, silver for second, bronze for third. Top Competitor cards have their own color, and design/special awards get a distinctive pink. Five gradients, instantly readable from across the room.

The Ceremony Flow

The MC announces awards one category at a time — "And now, the Tiger awards!" Within each category, the order builds suspense: Top Competitor awards first (auto-calculated by the system for every youth racer 4th or lower in categories with more than three — no MC decision needed), then third place, second, and first. Each recipient walks up and receives their trophy.

After all speed categories are done — individual ranks, then cross-category awards like Youth, Guests, Adults, Overall — the MC finishes with design and special awards. Which categories exist depends on what you configured during planning: no Overall? Then it's simply not in the ceremony. No Adults category? Skipped. The ceremony adapts to your setup. Kids might walk up multiple times: once for their rank, once for Youth, maybe once more for Most Creative. Every trip to the front is a moment.

On the public page, the Awards table fills in as awards are announced — trophy icons appearing next to each winner's name in real time. What the MC says matches what the phone shows. No spoilers.

What Spectators See

On every phone in the room, the Awards table fills in as the MC speaks. 

Parents get to watch their kid's face and have the official result on their screen at the same time. That's a photo worth taking.

Finishing the Race

When the ceremony is done and every award has been announced, one button remains: "Finish Race." Click it, and the race transitions to its final state — Completed. The header turns green. The public page becomes a permanent record.

This is a one-way transition. Once finished, the race is archived. Positions can't be changed, awards can't be reassigned. Make sure the ceremony is truly done before clicking.
