Problem
Manual paper-based scoring leads to errors, lost data, and no live display for audience. Event organizers need a system that syncs scoring to a TV display in real-time without requiring complex infrastructure.

Real-time system case study
Kicau Mania shows how real-time web systems can handle live event scoring without infrastructure complexity
This case is relevant for event organizers that need live scoring, TV display ranking, and admin dashboard without heavy on-premise setup.
Build focus
Real-time scoring via Supabase Realtime
Live TV display with animated ranking
Admin dashboard for managing classes, judges, and participants
Countdown timer per class with judge assignment
Outcomes
Judge scores sync to TV display without noticeable delay.
Admin can manage multiple classes simultaneously.
Audience sees live ranking that makes the event feel more professional.
Proof signals
Early proof is about adoption and clarity
Signal
Scores appear on TV display immediately after judge input.
Signal
Admin workflow is simple enough for non-technical event staff.
Signal
Multiple judges can score simultaneously without conflicts.
Implementation notes
Real-time stability is more important than fancy features at first release.
TV display needs to be readable from distance and work on large screens.
Admin interface should be simple enough for event staff without technical training.
FAQ
Questions before starting a similar project
Do real-time systems always need reliable internet?

Do real-time systems always need reliable internet?
Ideally yes for best sync. But systems can be designed with offline fallback that syncs afterward if connection is unstable at the event venue.
What makes real-time scoring feel reliable to users?
+
What makes real-time scoring feel reliable to users?
Speed and accuracy. If scores appear quickly and ranking updates feel natural, users kepercayaan the system. Lag or errors make events more chaotic.

Use the case as a pattern, not as a template to copy blindly
Send the current workflow, the users involved, and the part that creates the most expensive manual work. We can help decide whether the first release should match this case pattern or start smaller.
