Scheduling Races

Races are created within a series. Each race represents a single sailed event with its own entries, timings, and results. Races are always created via the bulk scheduling screen — you can schedule one or many at a time.

How to Schedule Races

  1. Go to the series detail page
  2. Click Schedule races
  3. You'll see a form with one or more rows. Each row represents a race to create:
Field Required Description
Race Name Yes Auto-populated as "Race 1", "Race 2", etc. based on existing races. You can override with a custom name.
Date & Time Yes When the race is scheduled. Defaults to the last race's date/time in the series (or the series start date for the first race).
Duration No Expected race duration in minutes
  1. Use + Add race to add more rows
  2. Use the trash icon to remove a row (at least one race is required)
  3. Click Schedule N race(s) to create all races

All races are created in Scheduled status and can be edited individually afterwards.

Tips

  • When you add a new row, it copies the date/time from the previous row — handy for scheduling a block of races on the same day
  • Race names auto-increment, so adding 3 rows to a series that already has 5 races gives you "Race 6", "Race 7", "Race 8"
  • You can schedule a single race by just leaving one row in the form
  • Additional fields like race officer and notes can be added by editing the race after creation

Next Steps After Scheduling

  1. Add race entries - register the boats that will race
  2. On race day, record timings - start times and finish times
  3. Update the race status - mark as started, completed, or abandoned
