Results and Route Review
This page explains how to check your results after play and review your route.
Check your results
When play ends, the results screen opens automatically. You can also return to it later from the event details screen or your activity history.
While a record has not yet been sent to the server, a "Not synced yet" notice appears on the results screen. Keep the app open somewhere with a connection and the record is sent automatically; the notice disappears once syncing is complete. Even while not synced, the record is stored on your device and will not be lost.
Viewing records older than that requires subscribing to the Player Plan.
Information shown
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Score | Total points earned on a score course |
| Time | Elapsed time from start to finish |
| Distance | Total distance traveled in kilometers |
| Spots | The list of visited spots and the order you visited them |
Score breakdown on score courses
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Visit points | Points earned by visiting spots |
| Quiz points | Additional points earned for correct quiz answers |
| Bonus Points | Points earned by scanning a Bonus QR (shown only if earned) |
| Combo Bonus | Points earned from a specified combination of checkpoints (shown only if earned) |
| Penalty | Point deduction for exceeding the time limit |
| Location button penalty | A deduction based on how many times you used the locate button (when the organizer has set it) |
| Location button time penalty | A time penalty based on how many times you used the locate button (when the organizer has set it) |
| Adjustment | Manual score adjustment made by the organizer. Several adjustments are summarized as "N adjustments (N pt)". A row labeled "Legacy" is an adjustment recorded by an older version |
On events where the locate button has a usage limit or penalty, the number of times you used the locate button is also shown in the results. The usage count appears not only in the result details but also next to each participant in the ranking list, shown with an icon.
Bonus Points and Combo Bonus are bonus points added on score courses (each appears in the breakdown only when there are points for it). Tapping either row opens a breakdown. Bonus Points shows a list of the name, time earned, and points of each bonus you earned; Combo Bonus shows the "N / M CPs" and points earned for each rule you achieved (opened as a detail screen on iOS and a detail dialog on Android; you can open the breakdown on the results screen after play ends, not from the score breakdown during play).
If the organizer changes the rules after the event ends, the breakdown total may not match the score above; in that case, a note is shown in the breakdown (the score used for ranking is the one finalized at finish).
Scanning a Bonus QR does not appear in the "Visited spots" list or the lap data (only the points are added to "Bonus Points"). For how each is earned, see Bonus points (QR & combo).
The team result does not show a Bonus Points (Bonus QR) row, because Bonus QR is for individual play only. Combo Bonus, on the other hand, is valid in team competitions and is reflected in the team's score and ranking.
The deduction ("Location button penalty") does not occur on Fixed Order courses. The time penalty ("Location button time penalty") occurs on all courses, including Fixed Order courses.
View other participants' records (Live Map, Results, Leaderboard)
From a category (course) screen, you can view the records of that category's participants on the following three screens. You can view them without logging in, and even if you are not playing (for example, when you are cheering someone on).
| Screen | What you can see |
|---|---|
| Live Map (on Android, Live on the category screen) | A single screen with a map at the top and a list at the bottom. The map shows each participant's latest position, and selecting a participant in the list shows their track. The list shows participants who started within the last 24 hours (playing, finished, and DNF), with their status, score, elapsed time, battery level, and more. Drag the boundary to resize the map and the list |
| Results | The list of records for this category. By default it is sorted by Latest Start (most recent start time first) and includes people who are still playing. You can sort by Ranking or Number and filter by playing, finished, or DNF |
| Leaderboard | The standings. People who are still playing are also listed with their current result. For how places are decided, see Rankings below |
Selecting a participant in Results or on the Leaderboard shows their route, the time they passed each spot, and their photos, just like your own records (on the Live Map, open them from the participant's callout on the map).
When a Live Map button appears at the top of the event screen, you can use it to view the participants of all categories at once (it appears only while someone is playing).
- While you are playing — You cannot close the play screen during play, so these screens cannot be opened. During play, you can check other participants' positions with Show other players / Current players in the play screen menu (except in events where the organizer hides them)
- When the organizer has turned on "Hide live map and results" — All three screens show "Currently, the organizer has limited your access." and cannot be opened
- In an approval-based event, before you are approved — You cannot open the category screen
- Participants who started with live tracking turned off are not shown on the Live Map (they still appear in Results and on the Leaderboard)
The category screen of a permanent event has only a Leaderboard (highest score first). There is no Live Map or Results list.
Rankings
The event ranking lets you compare your result with other participants in the same category.
- Score courses: Higher score ranks first. If scores are tied, the shorter time ranks higher.
- Fixed Order courses: Shorter time ranks higher.
- The top three positions are shown in gold, silver, and bronze colors.
- In team competitions, rankings are also shown by team.
For Team Play specific details such as team start time, finish time, and DNF handling, see Team Play.
How ranks are assigned
- The rankings show only the best record of each participant (account) ("Showing the best result for each user"). No matter how many times you play the same event, even with a different Entry Number, your other records appear neither in the rankings nor in Unofficial Results (they remain in the results list)
- When records have the same score and the same time, only the first shows a rank number; the rank column is blank for the others
- Retired (DNF) records have no rank. The same applies to records force-ended by the organizer and to records automatically set to DNF because they were never finished
- When several records share the same Entry Number, only the best one is ranked; the rest are grouped at the bottom of the rankings as Unofficial Results
When multiple results use the same Entry Number
In standard play, multiple participants may sometimes enter the same Entry Number. In that case, only the highest-ranked record among them is reflected in the leaderboard.
- Scores and times are not combined
- This may be used as a backup record
- If you want combined scoring, use Team Play rather than standard play
The leaderboard first narrows records down to the best record for each account, and only then groups records that share an Entry Number.
So if one account plays several times with different Entry Numbers, only its best record is used. Records played under the other numbers appear neither in those numbers' places nor in Unofficial Results. A record from another account that used the same number may appear in that place instead, even if it is a DNF.
Example: If account A scores 100 points with #10 and 50 points with #20, and account B has a DNF with #20, the leaderboard shows A's #10 (100 points) and B's #20 (DNF). A's #20 (50 points) is not shown.
This often happens when staff reuse one account to check the setup, so for the actual event, have each participant play with their own account.
Route display
On the map in the results screen, the route you traveled during play is shown.
- The path from start to finish is shown as a line color-coded by your speed
- Passing points for each spot are shown with markers
- Tracing the route helps you review your strategy
Lap data
You can view the arrival time and split time for each spot in a list.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Spot name | The spot you visited |
| Arrival time | The time you reached the spot |
| Split time | Total elapsed time from the start |
| Photo | Photo taken with Camera Punch, if applicable |
Playing against an existing record (pace comparison)
A finished record on a Fixed Order course can be used as a reference time for playing the same course again. You can treat one of your past records, or another participant's record, as an invisible rival and see how far ahead of or behind it you are as you go.
How to start
- Open the result screen of the record you want to use as the reference (either your own record or another participant's record opened from the ranking)
- Tap the runner icon at the top of the screen (top left on iPhone, top right on Android)
- A confirmation appears - "Set this result as your reference time and start play. ..." - and play starts when you choose Play
The runner icon only appears while you are viewing a finished record on a Fixed Order course. It does not appear for records on Score courses, or for records that ended without finishing (DNF).
A play with a reference time counts toward the daily play quota in the same way as a normal play. See the Pricing and Billing FAQ for details.
What you see during play
- Pace appears in the information panel at the top of the screen and shows the difference from the reference at the control you passed most recently, as - (ahead, green) / + (behind, red) (for example
-1:23or+0:15, and±0:00when there is no difference) - Each time you pass a control, the app reads out the control number, then the difference from the reference, then your time (for example "Control 7." "15 seconds behind." "Time: 12 minutes 30 seconds.")
- At the finish, "Finished." is followed by the difference in finish time and your time
- For a control that is not included in the reference record (for example one the other participant did not visit), the difference cannot be calculated, so the pace shows ? and no difference is read out at that control
While you play with a reference time, a short electronic tone plays at each punch, followed by the voice. The sound selected in "Auto punch sound" (the chime, for example) is not used. To hear the voice, turn off silent mode on your device. See Punch Method Guide - Sound and vibration for details.
Even if you quit the app during play, the reference time is saved with your play, so the pace comparison continues when you resume.
Quiz results
On courses that include quizzes, you can check your answer result, the correct answer, and the explanation for each spot.
Managing your own records
On the screen of your own play record, you can do the following.
- Share — Use the share button at the top right to share an image of the map with your route drawn on it
- Set Entry Number / Update Entry Number — From the "…" menu, set or correct the Entry Number of this record afterwards (for example, if the wrong number was entered at check-in)
- Delete activity — From the "…" menu, delete the record. After confirming "Are you sure you want to delete this? This action can't be undone.", the record is deleted and cannot be restored. Use it to remove a record you started by mistake
If the organizer changes a record from Finished to DNF or force-ends your play, the record is shown as DNF and drops out of the rankings. If the organizer corrects the start or finish time, your time and rank are recalculated.
GPX download
The location log from your play can be downloaded as a GPX file. GPX download is done from the activity detail page on NaviTabi Web (there is no export feature in the app). GPX files can be used with other apps such as Google Earth or Strava to display and analyze your route.
Likes and comments
You can leave likes and comments on results. You can also send a like to another participant's result.
Viewing photos
Photos taken with Camera Punch can be viewed together from the results screen. You can swipe through photos spot by spot.
On events where the organizer has enabled "Hide result details and photos" to protect privacy, the following applies.
- You can still view your own results and the photos you took, just as before.
- You may not be able to view other participants' result details (route, lap data, and photos). When you tap another participant in a list or ranking, you won't advance to the detail screen; instead, the message "Due to the organizer's settings, other participants' result details can't be shown." is displayed.
Note that rankings (standings) are not affected by this setting and are shown as before. Only the result "details" and "photos" are hidden.
