Chapter 02

Event settings

Duplicate protection, record confirmation, checkpoints, categories, live stream and participants — in the same order the app shows them.

Turn on duplicate protection

01Turn on duplicate protection

The app ignores a second record for the same participant within a few seconds — turn it on with the toggle and set the time to match your race. This stops a single passing from accidentally being counted twice, for example if a participant slows down or pauses right at the finish.

02Set up record confirmation

After each record, a green confirmation with the bib number flashes across the whole screen — covering the participant list for a few tenths of a second. During a dense finish, when you're tapping one name after another, you can switch it off with the toggle and not wait for it to clear. Sound and vibration stay on either way, so you still get confirmation that the time was recorded.

Add checkpoints

03Add checkpoints

The app creates the Finish checkpoint automatically with the event, and the last Finish can't be deleted — without it no passings could be recorded. Add a Split when you need one, useful for longer races where intermediate times are marked — a marathon, for instance.

Set up categories

04Set up categories

Split participants up, e.g. by age or gender. With a wave start, each category also gets its own start time.

Add a live stream

05Add a live stream

In the Live stream section, paste a YouTube or Facebook link — the app shows it later right on the results page.

Add participants

06Add participants

By hand in the Participants section, or let participants register themselves through the event's public page.

More on this in the Online registration chapter.
