Each race can have any number of distances, and each distance can have any number of age categories. Participants can register for multiple distances at once and fall into multiple categories.
Age and gender determine the participant's category. The system takes them into account when displaying results and online registration, preventing registration for an unsuitable distance.
Bibs can be assigned automatically during registration or manually when the participant receives the race packet.
If automatic distribution is used, the participant is assigned the first free bib from the specified range. If all bibs in the range are taken, online registration for this distance closes.
When the option "Allow registration over limit" is enabled, registration continues, but bibs are taken from the range beyond all existing pools.
Time, type and start mechanics
The result for a distance can be calculated from the moment of the starting gun or from the moment of crossing the start line
The distance has its own start time and maximum limit, after which timing reads are not counted. Several start mechanics are available:
Route — classic start variant, participants complete the distance from start to finish, there may be checkpoints along the way. The distance can be looped or linear.
Best attempt — participant can start several times, the best time from all attempts will count.
Orienteering — checkpoints can be passed in any order. For example, in a "5 peaks" race where participants must run to the peak of each mountain in any order, the intrigue is preserved until the very end.
Time-limited race — mechanics variant for hour-long stadium running, where there is a time limit but no lap limit. The winner is whoever runs more.
Route that the participant must complete
For each distance, you can configure checkpoints through which the participant must pass
In this example, the participant needs to start in the "Start-finish" zone, run to the "10 km" checkpoint and finish, again ending up in the "Start-finish" zone.
Offset and limit allow you to filter out results received too early or too late when necessary. In our example below, the system will not count the result if the participant reaches the "10 km" point faster than 10 minutes.
This mechanism allows excluding "excessive" results when a participant crosses the antenna line, returns (for example, for water), and then crosses the line again and runs along the course, again passing through the antennas.
If the distance is team-based, additional settings appear in the route
