Question 1

What is car show software?

Accepted Answer

Car show software helps a club run registration, window cards, class assignment, voting, judging, and results in one place. Car Show Assistant is built for car clubs and cruise-ins that still want show day to feel like a car show — not a spreadsheet.

Question 2

Can I use it for a cruise-in, not a judged car show?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Judged sheets are optional. A cruise-in can print QR window cards, take walk-up registrations at a tent kiosk, and run People’s Choice or class votes from phones — without scored judging or a judge roster.

Question 3

How do window cards and car show registration work?

Accepted Answer

You print numbered window cards. Owners scan the QR and enter year, make, model, and owner from their phone. Staff can also register at the desk or on a tent tablet. Class filters assign a car when the match is unique; ties go to Class review.

Question 4

How does People’s Choice voting work at a car show?

Accepted Answer

Spectators scan a window card and vote on their phone — no app download or login. Clubs can let anyone vote, or only phones that registered a car. Staff can still enter paper ballots by registration number. Ranked class places are optional.

Question 5

Do I have to pay before I set up my show?

Accepted Answer

You can create a club and configure one unpaid draft during a 14-day setup trial. Printing, PDFs, and live registrations unlock when you buy registration credits. One credit is one car registration.

Question 6

Can judges score from a phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Event judges open a sign-in link, then score the sheet you configured — full sheet or assigned sections. Clubs choose whether judges enter points earned or points missed; results still rank by points earned.
