Event App + Live Voting
Bring the competition to life.
A reusable event app connects volunteer-submitted chip counts to a public live leaderboard. Volunteers still count chips in the room, while the system combines their entries automatically so guests can follow the competition as it unfolds.

The bottleneck
The leaderboard existed on paper.
Volunteers counted chips at tables and maintained a handwritten tally. Guests could not follow the standings as they changed.
