The demo

A finished competition you can read end to end.

Rather than describe what StepRank does, here is an event that ran through it. Forty dancers entered, a panel of five scored three rounds, and six couples reached the final. Every number on these pages was calculated by the software, not written by hand.

The dancers, the judges and the scores are invented, and the event is labelled as a demo wherever it appears. Nothing else about it is simulated.

Step one

Your panel scores from the floor.

Each judge opens a link, enters an access code, and sees one list: who is up, who they have already scored, and who is still waiting. No app to install and no training session on the morning of your event.

In this event five judges scored every dancer on four weighted criteria. Judges lock a round when they are done, and until they do, nothing is final.

The StepRank judge board: five dancers listed, three already scored and two still waiting, with a control to lock all scores. — The judge board mid-round, shown on a smaller sample event. A judge's view is private to them, so this is the only picture on this page not taken from the competition below.

Step two

You decide what the room gets to see.

Rankings recalculate as scores land, but nothing reaches the public until you release it, round by round. Names only, names with scores, or the full breakdown with every criterion.

This event was released three different ways on purpose: the preliminary shows names alone, the semi-final opens all the way down to each judge's marks, and the final shows names with scores. You can see the difference by switching round tabs on the results page.

The organizer's results screen: final placements for leads and follows, and a release panel offering names only, names and score, or a full breakdown for each round. — The organizer's own view of the event below, with the release controls that published it.

Step three

The audience reads it on their phone.

Final standings at the top, then every round underneath with the full field, not only the dancers who advanced. Each dancer has their own page showing how they were scored in every round they danced.
