Virtual Marshal is a complete system of doing
checkpoint timing for sporting events such as
Car Rallies, Cycling, MTB, Cross Country, Hiking,
Treasure Hunts, Trail Blazing to name a few.
What do we do?
Virtual Marshal delivers a fully automated, end-to-end event management system that takes only moments to set up and allows events to run smoothly at a fraction of the cost, time, and manpower traditionally required.
The system includes a smartphone app—used by competitors to participate in the event—and a web-based backend that enables organizers to easily set up the event, manage operations, monitor progress in real time, and generate final results.
How does it work?
Create Event Using Web Access
Use the web front end to create a new event by entering the event name, start date and time, duration, logo, groups, and classes. You can also specify whether competitors must complete scrutiny and receive administrative approval before starting. Additionally, organizers can include a brief description and upload images to enhance the event profile.
Add checkpoints and define sections
Define the route by entering checkpoint coordinates or by using the intuitive point-and-click map interface. For each checkpoint, specify whether it should be visible or hidden from participants. After adding all checkpoints, create sections by selecting their start and end points and configuring ideal times, penalties for missing checkpoints, and other rules.
Once everything is set, activate the event through the web console.
Activate events & Competitor sign up
Once the event is activated, it immediately appears in the users’ app along with its description, images, and other details. Participants can review the information and sign up directly through the app.
Organizers receive sign-up notifications and can manage the entire registration process, including fee handling, assigning competition numbers, and conducting scrutiny.
Administrative approval for participants to begin the event is fully customizable, allowing organizers to control when each competitor is cleared to start.
Timing and results
From the moment competitors start, the app continuously monitors their progress. Each time they reach a checkpoint, a timestamp is generated and sent to the server, enabling instant results. All timestamps are also stored within the app for the competitor’s own reference.
Organizers can produce rankings and comparative results at the press of a button using pre-formatted reports, or they can download the raw timestamps for all competitors for further analysis.
Track for safety
Monitor competitors’ positions in real time using the tracking interface.
Enhance participant safety with instant visibility of any breakdowns, stoppages, or route deviations. Track every starter as they move through the event, and access crew contact details instantly through the point-and-click interface.

Whats on Offer?
Registered organizers can create events of various types, with a wide range of control parameters available for customizing each competition. After signing in securely, organizers can experiment by creating free test events with time-limited activation, allowing them to perform on-ground trials before running a full event.
For larger events, organizers can purchase Virtual Marshal credits. All active events are listed in the app, increasing visibility and helping reach more competitors. Credits are charged per event, not per participant, making the system cost-effective and scalable.
