Virtual finish token instructions

Back to the virtual finish token

If you think you will run out of tokens:

Get the Run Director's attention.
Ask one of the barcode scanner volunteers to join you.
Open the virtual finish token on your phone.

When the last token is handed out:

Make a note of the last token's finish position number.
On the virtual finish token, tap the finish position number box and enter the next finish position. (If the last token was 1027, enter 1028.)
For the next finisher, the Barcode Scanner should scan the participant's own barcode, then the virtual token on your phone.
Press the plus (+) button on the virtual token to increase the number by 1.
The Barcode Scanner can then scan the next finisher's barcode and virtual finish token.
Repeat until all participants, including tail walkers have been scanned.

Only one

Only one phone with a virtual finish should be used.

Only one barcode scanner should be used.

All other token team and barcode scanner volunteers can stand down.

For users of screen readers and similar accessibility technology, there are accessible labels and live announcements of the current number when it changes. Only light mode is currently supported.
