Run a School Typing Championship: Class Qualifiers to a Live Grand Final

A single typing test picks a fast kid. A Championship finds the class's real typists — narrowed round by round, ending in a live, synchronized Grand Final where every finalist starts and finishes at the exact same instant, watching each other's birds race in real time.

Here's how the four rounds work.

Why the Grand Final feels different

Every earlier round is graded, but it isn't live — students type on their own schedule, whenever their group gets activated. The Grand Final is the one moment the whole thing becomes a real race: a shared countdown ticks down to zero for every finalist at once, and from there you can watch every bird's lane fill in real time, not just your own. It's the payoff round — the one that actually feels like a championship, not just a test.

Set up once, runs itself round to round

You tell it how many computers you have when you create the event — that number is locked in for the whole championship, and it's what decides the field size at every stage: Class Qualifier batches, and how many finalists your Grand Final actually seats (never more than your computers can hold, so nobody's left waiting their turn in the highest-stakes round). Advance a round and the next one's groups build themselves automatically from whoever qualified — no re-entering rosters, no manual re-sorting by roll number.

What the champion walks away with

Top 3 get a real podium — gold, silver, bronze, confetti — and a downloadable certificate each, personalized with their name, WPM, and accuracy. The champion's own name shows right on the results page for the rest of the school to see.
