Event management for judged shows

Less paperwork.
More show.

Roll & Show is a hosted platform for running judged events. Take pre-registrations online, check entrants in on event day, run the voting, and publish results — from one place. Built first for car shows. Adapts to most other judged events.

What it handles

The whole event lifecycle, in plain terms.

Pre-event registration

Public registration form, confirmation emails, an entrant list you can search and edit. Open or close registration with a switch.

Day-of check-in

Mark entrants paid, auto-assign their vehicle number, print windshield cards. Add walk-ups in seconds or let entrants self-register at the kiosk.

Voting

Generate printable ballots with QR codes. Voters scan and vote online, or fill out a paper ballot and staff enters it.

Results & awards

Live class standings, Best in Show, judge-assigned manual awards, trophy photos, and a published public results page.

Photos & sponsors

Upload event photos for a public gallery. Showcase sponsors with tier badges, link them to specific classes or awards, and toggle visibility across the home page, ballots, and results.

Archive & reset

Print or download a complete archive report. CSV exports for every result category. One click to reset for next year.

Built for shows that judge by category

The system was designed around car shows because that’s where the moving parts are hardest. The same engine runs other events that follow the same shape — entries in classes, votes per class, an overall winner.

Straight talk about what it needs

We’d rather set expectations honestly up front than surprise anyone on event day.

Internet is required at the event.

Roll & Show is a hosted service. Staff need internet anywhere they’re checking entrants in, entering paper ballots, or pulling up results. Voters need internet to vote online or scan a QR code. Paper ballots are still paper when voters fill them out, but staff enter them into the system online.

We’re a voting platform, not a judging platform.

Roll & Show counts ballots and tracks judge-assigned awards. It doesn’t replace formal numeric judging sheets where multiple judges score each vehicle on point criteria. If that’s your format, get in touch — we can talk about whether it’s a fit.

We don’t process payments.

You collect entry fees your way — cash, Square, Venmo, PayPal, whatever works. Roll & Show just tracks who’s paid.

One event at a time per tenant.

Your tenant runs one event from setup through results, then archives and resets for the next one. Need to run multiple events at once? Get in touch and we’ll figure out the right setup.

Want a closer look?

We’re onboarding events one at a time as the platform fills out. If you’ve got a show coming up and any of this resonates, drop us a line.
