System requirements

The BBT software runs on Microsoft Windows only. We recommend Windows 11, but previous versions such as Windows 8 and Windows 10 will work as well.

See Installation for information about any other (free) software dependencies.

To use your Windows computer for timing, we recommend the following mimimum hardware: - Newer Intel Core i5 or i7 CPU - 8 GB of memory - SSD harddisk

These are not strict requirements but a suggested guideline. It will also depend on the complexity on your events. For example a marathon with 20.000 runners will be much more demanding that a 5k fun run with 200 participants.

The disks usage of BBT is quite limited, so you do not need a huge disk. In general, a faster disk (SSD) is preferred over a big disk. Beware that if you want to use video recording a lot, this will however take up a lot of disk space.
