Printing a scannable QR Code pointing to my match's online results

QR Codes are scannable two-dimensional barcodes. Most smart phones have apps that allow users to scan the QR Code to take them directly to a website.

During a competition, spectators, athletes, and coaches all want to see updated and timely results. By posting your results online, they have an opportunity to do that. A very easy way to direct your spectators to your online results is by posting QR Codes for them to scan with their phones.

Scanning the QR Code.

To scan a QR code with your phone you must first have an app that performs this function. There are many freely available apps for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry devices. In the app store search for "QR Code" or "QR Reader." Once installed, open the application and use its scan feature, pointing the phone's camera at the QR Code. If it works, your phone will open up Orion's online results.
