FAQs: Spectator voting

Can the crowd see the leaderboard during the show?

Your call. Every show has a big-screen board for a TV or projector, with one class rotating at a time, a scan-to-vote QR so passers-by can vote from the screen, and a light mode for daylight. You control whether it shows counts, rankings only, or nothing until awards, and you can post a notice across the top from your phone.
