On the Bell keeps every family, coach, and volunteer on the effective schedule — not the printed one. Adjust a session once, and warm-up calls, delay updates, and awards announcements land by text at exactly the right minute.
“When does she actually compete?”
Sessions run ahead. Sessions run behind. And the update goes out over a PA system fighting floor music, a crowded gym, and a concrete ceiling — inaudible in the bleachers, unheard in the lobby, and useless to the family that stepped out to the parking lot. So they camp in the stands all day to not miss a two-minute routine, and your front desk answers the same question a hundred times.
On the Bell gives the host one live run sheet. Nudge a session ±5, ±15, ±30 minutes and every downstream time — each flight, each phase, each armed reminder — shifts with it. The people who subscribed to that session get a text they can read anywhere, and read again. Everyone else’s phone stays quiet.
Add your sessions and On the Bell drafts each timeline from your sport’s timing template — warm-up, march-in, competition, awards. Import the roster from any CSV; columns are auto-detected. Stagger flights in one click.
Print the meet code in the program. Families text it or scan to the join page, pick their athlete, and consent is recorded. No collecting phone numbers, no spreadsheets, no app to install.
Running 20 ahead? One tap alerts exactly the subscribers of that session, with every time recalculated. Auto-reminders fire off the effective block time, so they stay right even after you adjust.
You own the schedule, the venue, and every question about both. Run the floor from one screen and let the texts answer the front desk for you.
Get role-filtered updates meant for staff — march-in calls, timing changes, judge notes — without wading through the family-facing stream.
Plain text messages about their athlete’s session only. Show up on time for the routine and the podium — and actually leave for lunch in between.
Effective vs. printed times, side by side. Per-flight schedules shift with each session’s running offset.
“15 min before warm-up” — armed once, fired off the effective time, and re-timed automatically when the day moves.
Text a whole meet, one session, one flight, or one role. Templates and scheduled sends included.
Upload the CSV you already have. Columns auto-detect, the preview shows exactly what lands, and sessions fill themselves.
Self-serve opt-in with recorded consent, STOP honored automatically, and delivery receipts on every send.
Gymnastics, Wrestling, Trampoline & Tumbling, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — plus team formats — each pack brings its own vocabulary, phases, and starter templates. See the setup guide →
Set up your host organization, build a meet, and put the join code in the program. Everything else is one tap on meet day.
