Admin > Race Rules are Live!

Race Rules are now available for all users. Race Rules can be found within the Scoring Section in CT Live Admin.

What are Race Rules?

• Race Rules grant you the ability to create simple or complex logic statements in order to identify matching Athletes within your Event.
• After a Rule has been created, it can be run on demand, whenever you would like.
• After a Rule has been run, you can see how many Athletes were affected, and take action.

What can I do after I Find matching Athletes?

The first thing you should do, is manually inspect an Athlete or 2 to ensure the Rule you built matches your desired outcome.

1. Bulk change Entries. Currently, you can bulk change:
   • Race
   • Wave
   • Status
2. Manually Ignore Entries after you inspect them or deem no further action is required.

What if I accidentally move an Athlete

• We keep track of all your changes
• Each Rule has a log of all Changes that is always accessible
• Athlete changes are also noted within the Change Log found within the Athlete's tab

What are some examples of common scenarios?

• Bulk Change Athletes who didn't finish to DNF
• Identify Athletes who missed 1 or more Splits who may be considered a Cheater
• Identify Athletes who Signed up for Marathon but decided to run the Half Marathon
• Move Athletes with Invalid Start Reads to their correct assigned Wave

Tips on Building your first Race Rule

1. Navigate to an Event that has Tag Reads
2. Race Rules can be found within the Scoring section in 2.0
3. Click Create Rule
4. Every Rule starts by selecting the Race of Athletes that you are interested in.
5. You can refine your selection by choosing Wave & Status options
6. Choose if you want to identify Athletes who MUST BE SEEN or MUST NOT BE SEEN
7. Select Read Type

8. and Timing Locations

   Final Tip: Before building a complex rule with an "AND" statement, we suggest you build a simple Rule first, ensure it identifies Athletes, and then edit that Rule.  

Important Note for building complex Race Rules

• Race Rules will only identify Athletes with atleast 1 Read somewhere on the Course

• Valid Reads can ONLY exist within the Race an Athlete is assigned.

  IE: If I'm in the 10K Race, it's not technically possible to have a Valid Read in the 5K Race
