¶ Purpose
Run the stage reveal flow from the tallymaster Results tools - pick a title / group, show placements (optional confetti), and don't flash the winner to the front row early.

Practice once offstage if you've never clicked it live

Rehearse the cable and the click once so the AV tech isn't seeing placements for the first time live.

-
Make sure to lock, review, and confirm scores BEFORE any announcements.
¶ Common Mistakes

Opening Emcee Reveal on a laptop that's running the contest visuals - before it's announced

Revealing the wrong title / group because names are similar
-
Starting reveal before the last section is locked
¶ Frequently Asked Questions
Is this different from the producer Emcee Reveal?
Same idea, launched from tallymaster Results access. See also Producer Emcee Reveal.
Why don't I see Emcee Reveal?
Scored sections may still be unlocked, or your contest/role path doesn't show it yet. Lock scored sections and refresh Results.
Does reveal publish contestant My Results?
Not by itself. Contestants need the contest inactive, scored sections locked, and a producer Release Results click. Reveal is for the stage moment.
