A digital record board that never erases a name

On a vinyl or whiteboard record board, a new record wipes out the old name. Rocket’s digital record board reranks every holder automatically, so past record setters keep their place in history.

Why it matters

Updating a record board means erasing someone

Traditional record boards show one name per event. When a record falls, the old holder disappears, and updating the board can mean ordering new lettering. Weight room and pool boards are often months out of date.

Ideas for Digital Record Board

Every event in every sport

List the records your school tracks, from football and track to swimming and the weight room.

All-time ranked lists

Show more than the record holder. Past holders stay on the board in ranked order.

Date and meet for each mark

Record when and where the mark was set so anyone can check it.

Athlete photos

Add a photo beside each record holder so younger athletes can see who they are chasing.

Weight room records

Track lifting records in the weight room, where they motivate athletes every day.

QR code to the records

Each touchscreen has a QR code so athletes can open the records on their phone.

  2. Use consistent units and formats

    Decide on time, distance and weight formats up front so rankings stay clean.

  3. Recover the old holders

    Update the board the week a record falls, while the team is still celebrating.
