The Regatta Master Online (RMO) API saw its first use at the 2018 Canadian Rowing Championships this week.  The 4-day regatta, held on Burnaby Lake, BC, featured live coverage provided by PodiumTV, with commentary by coach Bob Ernst..

As in the previous 2 years, there was live 500m interval timing for all the 2000m races.

The API has been available for about a year, but had not yet been used by a regatta.  In preparation for integrating live results with the live coverage, we built a web form that allowed PodiumTV to point and click to select start lists, race schedules, and live leaderboard data.

Here is a link to the Sunday morning finals, which features spectacular drone coverage and live overlays directly from Regatta Master Online:
