Installation
This page walks you through downloading RunScore and installing it on every computer you'll use on race day — your main scoring machine and any additional client computers for registration, announcing, or results display.
Launching RunScore
With RunScore successfully installed, it's time to open the program and get oriented. This page covers the two desktop icons you'll see, which one to use, and how RunScore organizes its files on your computer.
Workspace Overview
When you first open RunScore Server, you'll be greeted by your main workspace — the control center for everything you'll do in the program. This page walks you through each area of the screen so nothing feels unfamiliar when you need it most.
Race Folder Basics
In RunScore, every race lives in its own folder. Understanding this structure is fundamental — it's how RunScore keeps your events organized, separated, and easy to find.
Opening a Race
With the RunScore workspace familiar and a race folder structure in mind, it's time to open an actual race file. In this section you'll open one of the included sample races, then explore the three main ways to view your race data: the Enter/Edit Name screen, the Browse screen, and the Listings screen.
Race Configuration
Now that you know how to navigate RunScore and view a sample race, it's time to set up your own event. This page covers three core concepts: creating a new race by cloning an existing one, customizing it with the Entries.ini configuration file, and understanding how RunScore manages your scoring events.
Supported Colors
The following color names are accepted by RunScore for display commands such as RESULTS BG COLOR, RESULTS FONT COLOR, ENTER BG COLOR, and ENTER FONT COLOR. Values are case-insensitive.
