Sports day is one of the best days of the school year. Running the scores should not be the hardest part of it.

- Result slips run back and forth across the field
- Someone adds up every score by hand over lunch
- Nobody knows who is winning until the final whistle
With Baton
- Places go straight from the finish line into the app
- Points add up the moment you press save
- Everyone follows the scores live, all day long

Questions from the staffroom
Something else on your mind? Ask us anything and a real person will get back to you.

Yes. Log in on as many phones and tablets as you need, at the track, the long jump pit and the finish line. Every result lands on the same leaderboard straight away.
Points fill in from your points table, and you can change any of them before you save. Give two houses the same place for a tie, or add a bonus points event for spirit awards and the loudest cheering.
No. Names are optional on every result. Many schools record just the house, or use first names and an initial.
Yes. Open the live board in any browser and press full screen. It refreshes on its own every few seconds, with large text that reads from the back of the field.
