Pinewood Derby Brackets

Run a pinewood derby: build race groups and heat schedules, score each race, and show a live bracket on a TV.

Where to find it

The Pinewood Derby Brackets card on the home page.

What it does

  • Creates derby events of your own; these are not RaceResult events.
  • Builds race groups and a heat schedule for your lanes.
  • Gives the race marshal a scoring page on a phone, where finish times are entered and places worked out from them.
  • Publishes live screens that follow the results about a second behind, with overall standings by combined rank or combined time.

Before you start

  • Sign in.

Good to know

  • The scoring and live pages have their own links and work without signing in, so they can be opened on any phone or TV.
  • A car that does not finish (DNF) gets no place in that race.
  • Several live screens can show different race groups at once.
