# Hiding the live scores and results for finals

We know that sometimes it's better to keep the results from finals hidden until you've reached the presentation.

LiveHeats allows you to hide the scores and results for finals from the public, so they're only viewable to the Head judge and Director.

*Note: this setting is applies to your whole event, so when it is **on,** all division's finals results will be hidden, and when it is **off**, all division's final's results will be visible, no matter if they're upcoming, live, or complete.*

# How to hide the live scores and results for finals

1. Go to the **Event settings**
2. Click on the **Advanced** tab
3. Check the box that says **hide results for finals**
4. Click **Update event** to save

This setting will only apply to rounds with the name '**Final**'. This name will automatically apply to the last round of your division, but if you want to hide the results of an earlier round, you can change the round name in **Round settings**. 

To publish the results, simply change the **Event status** badge top left to **Results published**, or remove the setting.
