6. Post Race
This chapter describes in more detail the steps to do on calculating the results.
Step 1: Calculate Results
When a race has finished, results can be calculated. When another race has not started
yet a warning is shown. If there is an anomaly in the times (like next passing time is
lower than minimum lap time) you will see a notice with this participant. The minimum
lap time is set in minutes. If there are errors in the results, click on the EDIT button for
the participant to correct his result.
With calculating results you can either choose for the option FULL or UPDATE. The FULL
option will calculate the overall results for all. Should you have made some manual
adaptations, these are all overruled and you will need to redo those if necessary. The
UPDATE option will only adapt those participants who were not finished yet when you
calculated the results before.
Step 2: Edit Participant Result
All the passings of each participant are shown at the bottom. Copy the correct time (1)
from the observed passings to the start (2) or finish (3). If a participant is disqualified,
set is Disqualified (4) to yes. If a participant did not finish but passed the finish line, set
Did not finish (5) to true. Click update when all changes are done.

Step 3: Final Results
When all corrections are done, the results show the correct status and time for each
participant.
Step 4: Publish Results
Click PUBLISH RESULTS on your dashboard of the event to show all results on the
website.
