Digital record boards
Honor your champions with a living record board
Retire the vinyl ladder and move every record, qualifier, and leaderboard into a remote-managed touchscreen that updates the second your stats crew uploads a CSV. Rocket automates rankings, enforces sport-specific tie breakers, and keeps branding consistent across every facility.

Feature 1
Auto-ranking record logic
Feed Rocket your Hy-Tek, MileSplit, or spreadsheet exports and the CMS recalculates leaderboards in seconds. Coaches flag events that require wind, fully automatic timing indicators, or relay alternates, so the public experience always mirrors your official record book.
- Profiles update instantly with headshots, season tags, and QR codes.
- Audit log tracks who changed each record and when.
- Condition-based highlights (state qualifier badges, college commits).
Feature 2
One layout, every sport
Design a single enterprise template that flexes from pool decks to fieldhouses. Mix landscape video walls, vertical kiosks, and mobile-ready embeds while keeping typography, touch targets, and ADA contrast ratios consistent.
- Unlimited layouts with drag-and-drop sections.
- Remote CMS pushes to every screen in seconds.
- Scheduling engine rotates team takeovers around events.
Deployment
How digital record boards go live
Four sprints keep athletic communications, IT, and facilities in lockstep.
Consultation
Audit current vinyl boards, timing software, and data owners. We map every event, naming convention, and historical gap before design begins.
Design
Build interactive wireframes, approve typography, and preview animations with your brand team. Accessibility audits confirm WCAG 2.1 AA contrast.
Installation
Coordinate hardware delivery, mounting, and network drops. Rocket supports Samsung, LG, Elo, and BrightSign, plus existing kiosk PCs.
Launch
Load migrated data, train editors, and activate remote monitoring with uptime alerts so every meet has a live board.
The Digital Revolution in Athletic Recognition
Retro record boards can’t keep pace with weekly PRs, power rankings, and recruiting spotlights. Interactive boards bring every sport, class year, and performance into a touchscreen that staff can refresh from any browser. Rocket’s CMS pulls data from timing systems, strength platforms, and spreadsheets, then pushes polished layouts to every hallway kiosk and weight room monitor.
Unlike generic digital signage, Rocket is built specifically for recognition and compliance. Every template is WCAG 2.1 AA tested, logs changes for state reporting, and lets you archive unlimited high-resolution imagery without slowing screens down. Families can discover inductees, filter by era, and launch QR codes that link straight to your recruiting pages.
Use Cases That Unlock Budget
Hall of Fame Refresh
Swap dusty plaques for touch-driven stories. Auto-ranking inductee grids, video interviews, and donor spotlights keep campus visitors exploring for minutes, not seconds.
Strength & Conditioning War Rooms
Weight rooms and indoor tracks finally get live boards that rotate by lift type, class year, or velocity zone. Coaches tap once to spotlight the day’s output or hide a board while testing.
Academic Recognition Inside Athletic Facilities
Tie honor roll, STEM wins, and National Merit finalists into the same display. Dual navigation keeps athletics and academics in parity so superintendents see full-district value.
Traditional vs. Digital Record Boards
| Criteria | Traditional Vinyl Boards | Rocket Digital Record Boards |
|---|---|---|

| Data accuracy | Manual transcription from meet sheets | CSV imports and API hooks keep names, times, and wind readings exact |
| Accessibility | Small fonts, glare, and no audio support | WCAG 2.1 AA typography, adjustable contrast, screen reader tags |
| Engagement | Passive viewing, no storytelling | Search, filters, autoplay videos, and QR unlocks extend every visit |
| Compliance | No log of changes | Version history with timestamps, editors, and rollback controls |

Case studies
Districts replacing vinyl boards
Every install shows how Rocket handles historic data, rugged hardware, and coach-friendly workflows.
Harvard Innovation Labs
Harvard replaced twelve static walls with a single interactive timeline that surfaces club, varsity, and research milestones by year. Remote CMS editors publish additions from Cambridge or field offices while QR codes let visitors save bios.

St. John Bosco High School
Bosco’s weight room needed real-time leaderboard swaps before morning lifts. Rocket’s auto-ranking board ingests CSVs from PUSH and TeamBuildr so coaches no longer reprint banners. Hardware includes dual 65-inch portrait kiosks with shatter-resistant glass.

Jackson Hole High School
A mountain-town facility demanded extreme temperature tolerances. We paired conformal-coated media players with a remote watchdog service so the district’s tech crew receives alerts the moment connectivity dips.

Digital record board FAQ
Technical answers evaluation committees ask during shortlisting.
Do the boards run offline?
Yes. Rocket caches the latest data, theme assets, and schedules locally. If Wi-Fi drops mid-meet the experience keeps running, then syncs changes once connectivity returns.
What hardware do you support?
Any commercial display or kiosk that runs a Chromium browser, BrightSign player, or Windows mini PC. We ship pre-imaged Intel NUCs, or you can load our hardened app on existing hardware.
How do you migrate legacy data?
Send scanned PDFs, spreadsheets, or Hy-Tek backups. Our migration team normalizes spellings, merges duplicates, and tags missing headshots so nothing launches incomplete.
Can we lock editing permissions?
Role-based access controls limit who can publish per sport, season, or campus. Every edit carries a timestamp and rollback point for compliance.
