Creating an Event in ChronoTrack Live 2.0

Introduction

Creating an event in CT Live is a simple and intuitive process, but there are some parts that may require a bit of explanation. This section will walk you through each step of Event Creation, explain some of the more abstract concepts, and offer tips on the process.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to create an event in CT Live 2.0 you must select from an existing Organization. If you need to create a new Organization, please reference the instructions below: 

To Create a New Event click +ADD EVENT from the My Events page. This will launch the Create Event window.

Name your Event (Step 1)

Add the Event Name in the Name field along with the Abbreviated Name. If you need to add sponsorships to the name, we recommend adding that in the Event Name, but leave the "abbreviated name" as a shorter version without that added text. 

Timer (Step 2)

 Select the Timer for the event. In the dropdown menu, you will only be shown Timers associated with your Organization. If you don't already have access to select a Timer Organization in CT Live, please contact sales@chronotrack.com to learn how, or Support if you are a current timer that should have access. 

Event Organizer (Step 3)

Select an Event Organizer from the dropdown. If your account is not showing any Event Organizers as being associated, contact support. Once a Event Organizer is selected,  our system will associate the Event upon creation with that Event Organizer. (If you are creating a Test event select the "Is Test Event" checkbox.)

Event Location (Step 4)

This step is where you can add the address of the Event. This can either be done by searching up the address using the google supported - address search field, or by entering the address information manually. 

Start and End Time (Step 5)

On this step you will enter the over-arching time for the Event from start to finish. The given races in your event will fall within the time frame set here. 

External Links (Step 6)

1. Enter website links for your race website in the "external website link",  
2. If you have an external registration platform you wish to link to via the register button on our Microsite, enter that link here. Once a link is entered here. the register button will show on the Microsite unless the Visibility toggle is toggled off for the link. 
3. External Result URL - If you wish to link out to results on an External Result platform, that link can be entered here. 

When you have entered all necessary information, click Create Event in the right-hand corner. 

Upon completion of the Event Creation form, you will be directed to the Event Page, and the Create Race window will automatically appear, prompting you to create a race for the event. Once you have created a race, you will be able to view and edit the various aspects of the Event.
