Context of use

In this section, the larger ecosystem that RaceClocker fits into is shown. The different user types of RaceClocker, the variations between primary user interfaces, symbiotic products, and the overall environment RaceClocker operates in are elaborated.
We identified five user groups (Figure 8) in the ecosystem of RaceClocker. We divided these groups into direct and indirect users.
Direct users of RaceClocker are race managers and timekeepers. Race managers create races and collect and enter all necessary details such as date, time, location and participant lists. Timekeepers register the exact time participants pass their start, finish or split point during the race. Indirect users are the sporters - the participants who join the race - and the audience viewing the race, in real life or remotely. RaceClocker offers real time result sharing, enabling participants and audience to see performances directly. Furthermore, sport coaches can also use RaceClocker as a tool to compare performances within training sessions. As already stated in the introduction, RaceClocker can be used on laptop, tablet and smartphone. Figure 7 shows an overview of the primary user interfaces within each device. Symbiotic products, such as internet connection or BIB/ BOW numbers to recognize participants, are also relevant within the use of RaceClocker besides the primary products. Finally, the environment where RaceClocker is used, depends on the sports type and club’s preference. Before the race, RaceClocker is used by the race manager in the office, to create a race and import race information and details. During the race, RaceClocker is used by timekeepers to track participants, in both indoor and outdoor spaces and by race manager to keep an overvie of the race and share results.
