“We’ve been using Ninja Timer at our OCRS Club Champs monthly events and it’s been a game changer for us.” – Skye Warkotz, OCRS
Running a monthly competition puts pressure on your systems. Timing must be accurate. Results must be instant. There is no room for delays or errors.
OCRS runs this every month.
50+ athletes per event
Multiple divisions
Continuous runs with no downtime
Their Club Champs events bring athletes together to compete, improve, and stay connected as a community. Consistency matters when you run events this often.
They needed a system that worked under real event conditions.
