Live Leaderboards That Turn a Demo Into a Competition

A scoring engine with the client's rules, iPad or sensor entry, a ranked display on the booth TV or the stadium LED, and every entry on a guest record. Runs on a local server when the venue has no Wi-Fi, or across cities when the campaign needs one shared board. Proven formats go live in days.

Live top-25 leaderboard for Chevrolet's Pack the Trunk challenge at CMA Fest 2024

What we built, with the numbers

Leaderboards we built and what they ranked

Five scoring engines, five different rule sets. Numbers are the case study's own.

Dynamic Leaderboard for Chevrolet at CMA Fest 2024

Chevrolet — Equinox

Build 01 · Nashville, TN — CMA Fest 2024

Dynamic Leaderboard for Chevrolet at CMA Fest 2024

Top 25
Live Leaderboard
4 Days
Nashville Run

Built: A timed pack-the-trunk race around an Equinox: two iPads for start and stop timing, a custom top-25 leaderboard on the client's display, and real-time ranking that made spectators into the next players over four days in Nashville.

Lesson: The leaderboard is the game. Once people can see where they rank, the product demo runs itself.

Combine-Style Challenges

Built: A combine-scoring platform on a local server at eight NFL training camps: iPad sign-up with profiles and teams, five drill stations entering results on a custom web app hosted on site, and a scoreboard for a live reveal each day. No internet dependency.

Lesson: Ask about connectivity before you ask about creative. If the answer is "probably fine," design as if it is not.

Live Leaderboard

Built: An LED-room fan experience in two tournament cities with a top-13 live leaderboard, cross-day team aggregation so Monday's scores still counted on Sunday, and instant QR and SMS delivery of every output.

Lesson: Multi-day events need rules for carry-over. Decide up front whether yesterday's leader still leads.

Powered Footprint

Built: Three activation zones with their own custom leaderboards, an Army-versus-Navy cheer-button tally, and photo kiosks, radio, and point of sale all on one Starlink network with redundancies.

Lesson: When the leaderboard shares a network with the POS, the network is part of the build. Plan it with the same care.

Swings to Cross America
Coast to Coast
Two Championships
Regional
Themed Backgrounds

Built: One shared scoreboard across golf simulators nationwide: staff entered each shot on a tablet, every swing added yardage to a single trip across a map of America between two championship sites, and the state persisted across venues.

Lesson: For a tour, the game state lives on the server, not the device.

Leaderboard formats we build most

Every one is custom to the client's rules and brand guidelines. These are the shapes that keep coming back.

Timed challenge

Start and stop from an iPad or a physical button, ranked by time, with a top-N display and prize windows.

Combine and multi-station scoring

Several drills or tasks, each scored at its station, aggregated into individual and team rankings for a daily reveal.

Team and rivalry boards

Army versus Navy, school versus school, city versus city. Affiliation captured at registration and ranked live.

Shared national scoreboard

Many venues, one board. Progress persists on the server so a swing in Phoenix picks up where Boston left off.

Sensor-fed boards

Radar, throw-wall, Pop-A-Shot, and button-wall scores ranked automatically, no staff entry.

Cheer meters and tallies

Button or decibel tallies on a stadium LED for sponsor moments that need a crowd number.

What ships in the cases

  • The scoring engine with the client's rules, tie-breaks, prize windows, and daily or cross-day carry-over built in
  • Entry devices: iPads for staff, or sensor and RFID inputs when the game scores itself
  • The ranked display sized for the screen: booth TV, LED wall, stadium board, or a web view the venue's AV team can key
  • A local server for tours and venues with no reliable internet, syncing to the cloud when a connection appears
  • Registration binding so every entry sits on a guest record, with consent language and an export or CRM push
  • Branded graphics and animations built to your art specs, never from a template
  • Road cases, printed setup guide, setup video, remote diagnostics, and a support line for show hours

Already have ExperientialOS? The Leaderboards module is the productized version of these builds; this page is the custom work it grew out of. For venue connectivity, see event internet kits.

How a build goes

  1. 1. Send the brief

    The rules as the client imagines them, the inputs, the screen, dates, and whether it is one venue or many.

  2. 2. Line-item estimate, same day

    With a board mockup in the client's brand when the kit allows.

  3. 3. Build and test

    Proven formats go live in days. New rule sets get a clickable prototype so the client can play it before it is built.

  4. 4. Ship or staff

    Cases ship with a guide and a video, or a PivotXP tech runs the first stop and hands off to your crew.

  5. 5. Redeploy

    Next event, new creative and rules tweaks on the same engine. A redeploy line, not a new build.

No templates. Ever.

Every deployment is a custom build for your company.
Your brand guidelines, not ours.

Nothing we ship is a product with your logo dropped on it. Each program is designed and built from scratch for the brand running it, by our in-house developers and fabricators, to the brand guidelines your marketing team already enforces. Your typefaces, your colors, your motion, your tone, your legal lines. Ours never appear.

Bring the brand guidelines to the kickoff call. No formal guidelines yet? We work from your logo files and website and send a style sheet for sign-off before the build starts.

Start a Custom BuildSee Builds in Other Brands

Your typography and color system

We build to the brand book: approved typefaces, exact color values, logo clear space, and lockups. No near-miss colors, no fallback fonts.

Your voice on every screen

Start screens, prompts, consent language, share pages, and texts are written in your tone, then approved by your team before anything ships.

Your motion and sound

Transitions, idle loops, win states, and audio follow your motion and sound rules, or stay quiet if the brand says so.

Your legal and compliance lines

Official rules, disclaimers, age gates, and opt-in copy placed where your counsel wants them, word for word.

Your look on the hardware

Wraps, enclosures, and fabrication finished in the brand palette and materials. Nothing on the floor says PivotXP.

Your sign-off before it ships

You review a working build, not a mockup, and approve it against your guidelines before it goes on a truck.

Proof, not promises

The leaderboard case studies

A top-25 board that made a trunk demo a four-day competition, an offline combine platform with 100 percent uptime, and a two-city board with cross-day team scoring.

What’s on the quote

What's on a leaderboard quote.

No mystery line items. Every estimate is built from this list, so the client sees what the build covers and what is optional.

Get a Line-Item Quote(704) 284-7155

Every estimate is built from these same lines, so nothing shows up on the quote that you have not seen here. Send dates, city, and what you need and you will have a line-item estimate the same business day.

Live custom leaderboard

Scoring engine with the client's rules, ranked display, iPad entry, prize windows, exports.

Sensor or RFID inputs

When the game scores itself: sensors, radar, or RFID readers wired and tested.

Local server for offline venues

On-site server, sync when connected, for tours and venues with no reliable internet.

Display hardware

Booth TV, LED, or a feed for the venue's board. Day or program rate when PivotXP supplies it.

Registration and data capture layer

Opt-ins, team or affiliation capture, dedupe, CSV or CRM delivery.

Software redeploy for a returning program

New creative, new dates, same proven engine.

PivotXP tech on site

Optional, priced per day. Most boards run from your staff's iPad.

Shipping and travel

Quoted round trip; travel billed at cost only when we send a tech.

Lead times

How much runway each kind of project needs.

Kiosk or Starlink rental

Ships the next business day after the contract is signed, timed to arrive before your setup date.

Brand an existing kiosk

Days once your art arrives. Wrap art, overlays, share page, and AI creative. Art specs sent at kickoff.

Custom software build

Days for a proven format, a few weeks for something new. In-house developers, scenario-tested before it ships.

Hardware + software concept

Weeks, not months. Fabrication, sensors, cases, and software built together under one roof.

Clickable prototype for a pitch

Days. Enough to win the room before anything is built.

Tight timeline? Say so on the form. Rentals and returning programs move in days; we will tell you honestly what a new build can hit.

FAQ

Does the leaderboard need internet?+

No. For tours and venues with unreliable Wi-Fi the engine and the display run on a local server, as the USAA combine platform did at eight NFL camps. Scores sync to the cloud when a connection appears. For a live online board or a shared national scoreboard we add a bonded cellular or Starlink kit.

Can scores carry across days or cities?+

Yes. Carry-over rules are part of the build: daily resets, cumulative totals, team aggregation across days, or one shared board across many venues with state held on the server.

How are entries tied to guests?+

Guests register once on a tablet, by QR, or with an RFID wristband or card. Every score lands on that record with the consent the client needs, and the client gets one export or a CRM push.

Can it rank teams or affiliations, not just people?+

Yes. Army versus Navy, school versus school, city versus city. Affiliation is captured at registration and the board can show individual and team rankings side by side.

What screens can it run on?+

Any. Booth TVs we supply, LED walls, stadium boards through the venue's AV team, or a browser view keyed into a broadcast. The display is sized and branded for the screen it will live on.

How long does a leaderboard build take?+

Proven formats such as a timed challenge or a top-N board go live in days once brand assets arrive. New rule sets or sensor integrations take weeks, not months, because our developers are in house. A clickable prototype for a pitch takes days.

Is this the same as ExperientialOS Leaderboards?+

ExperientialOS Leaderboards is the productized module that grew out of these builds. Use it when a proven format fits. This page is for custom rules, inputs, and displays that the module does not cover yet.

What does it cost?+

Every quote is built from the lines on this page: the engine, inputs, local server, display, registration layer, shipping, and optional staffing. Send the rules, the inputs, and the dates and you will have a line-item estimate the same business day.

Other build types

Touchscreen demo kiosks

Product content guests tap through, with analytics on every tap.
