A race has two separate artifacts. The gridThe starting order for one race. Race Control generates a grid, and you publish it when it is ready to show riders. is the starting order. The results are the finishing order. When you load race timing, Race Control adds the second and never changes the first.
Post a finishing order
Upload the race timing against its race session, exactly as you would for qualifying. See Load timing.
The finishing order then appears below the grid on the public page for that race. It shows finishing positions, total times, and best laps, with finishers first and non-finishers after them.
Total times use one format for every source: 10:00.072, or 1:02:03.004 for a time of one hour or more. A missing total time shows a dash on the public results page.
A combined race restarts its position numbering within each class, because each class is its own result.
A rider marked DNF carries a red status. A rider marked DNS carries a green status on a muted row. Both keep their imported timing.
Note
Race timing never alters the grid. The two artifacts sit apart, and a problem with the results can never hide a published grid. If the finishing order looks wrong, the grid beside it is still the grid that started the race.
Rule on a protest
A protest outcome is a separate layer, and it survives every later timing import.
Open Event → Races and set one outcome for the rider you are ruling on.
- Position, with the finishing place in that rider own race class.
- DNF.
- DNS.
Every ruling requires a reason. Race Control records that reason with who made it and when, and never shows it publicly. Riders see the resulting official order and nothing else.
What a ruling does to the order
The ordering is worth understanding before you use it.
A DNF or DNS ruling removes that rider from the finishing order and keeps their imported timing. A position ruling claims that place, and the remaining imported finishers fill the unclaimed positions in their original order. Non-finishers follow.
When you rule a rider into a position, they become a finisher, even one the timing recorded as DNS. Existing finishers shift around the claimed place and keep their own times.
Two rulings cannot claim the same place in one class. Race Control rejects a place beyond the number of finishers, because accepting it would leave a gap.
Replacing and removing a ruling
When you replace a ruling, Race Control retires the old one and keeps it. It deletes nothing, so the record survives even when an account changes later.
A ruling reaches the public page immediately and needs no grid regeneration, because it never touches the grid.
Championship points
Race Control does not calculate championship points yet. Results are the input that work will consume, and today the product publishes them.
