Event lifecycle
An event moves forward through five states. Each state narrows what can still be changed, which protects an event that is underway or finished from accidental modification. An event never moves backward.
| Status | What you can do | How to advance |
|---|---|---|
|
Draft |
Change any setting. Add or remove tracks. Delete the event. |
Choose Publish event |
|
Open |
Add tracks and edit leaderboard text. Delete the event. |
Choose Start racing |
|
In progress |
Operate timekeeping: create runs, record laps, submit results. Delete the event. |
Choose Complete event |
|
Completed |
View results and statistics. Correct recorded lap times. Delete the event. |
Choose Archive event |
|
Archived |
View results and statistics. Delete the event. |
Archived is the final state |
The status transition buttons appear on the event details page and are visible to admins only.
Important
Configure an event’s tracks before you start racing:
-
You can add tracks only while an event is in Draft or Open status.
-
You can remove tracks only while an event is in Draft status.
-
Timekeeping becomes available only when an event reaches In progress.
