What Happens If I Lose Internet While Judging?

How offline mode protects your scores when you lose internet connectivity.

Kompdesk has built-in offline mode that protects your scores when you lose internet connectivity. Your work is never lost.


How It Works

  1. You lose connection: the system detects the network drop and switches to offline mode
  2. You keep scoring: all scores are saved locally on your device
  3. Connection returns: scores are automatically synced to the server
  4. Confirmation: you see a notification when all queued scores have been submitted

What Gets Saved Offline

  • All score submissions (criteria scores, comments)
  • Battle votes
  • Placement votes
  • Skip/defer actions

Tips

  • Do not close the browser tab while scores are queued. They are stored in the browser and will be lost if you close the tab before syncing
  • Do not clear browser data while offline. This would delete queued scores
  • If you are in an area with poor connectivity, the system will retry automatically
  • Offline mode works for all scoring types: regular scoring, battle voting, and placement voting
