Hardware

Here is a summary of the hardware you may need to run an event.

We have some reconditioned laptops and old TVs if you need them.

You will access to the internet (WifI / etc) at the venue. We can supply a router and 4G modem (accesses the internet using 4G mobile network).

Client laptops

Client laptops can be almost anything that can run a browser (e.g. Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari). Any device will do, and we encourage users to provide their own device (e.g. laptop, tablet, mobile phone).

• 1 for each judging panel
• 1 for registration desk
• 1 for announcer

Score display

Each display needs a laptop and a (large) TV.

Additionally

• Ensure you have lots of long extension leads to reach to each judge station.
• You will need a machine (laptop) to play music. Ensure you have a lead to connect the laptop to whatever PA system you are using.
• You may need a router if using a LAN (rather than direct connection via the internet).
