# Checkpoint-Race View

The **Checkpoint-Race View** in **RUFUS Race Manager (RRM)** provides detailed visibility into all passings captured for a specific **checkpoint and race**. It is designed to help race organizers monitor activity at that checkpoint in real time, ensuring accuracy and control during the event.

## Overview

* The grid displays **all assigned passings** for the selected checkpoint and race.
* **ORPHAN passings** do not appear in this view because they are not linked to a participant or race.
* This view does **not** show rankings or classifications. It is purely a **passing-level view**, focused on what was captured at the checkpoint.

The grid includes key information for each passing:

* **BIB** → Participant’s bib number
* **Name, Gender, Age Group** → Participant details
* **Chip** → The chip ID used in timing
* **Lap** → The lap number associated with the passing
* **Racetime** → Time elapsed since race start
* **Time of the Day** → Exact clock timestamp
* **Status** → Passing status (VALID, BOUNCED, etc.)
* **Type** → Origin of the passing (e.g., AUTOMATIC, MANUAL, BACKUP FILE)
* **Device** → The device that captured or created the passing

As with other grids in RRM, you can **filter, sort, group, and search** the data to find exactly what you need.

## Adding Manual Passings

You can add passings directly from the Checkpoint-Race View by entering the participant’s **BIB number**.

* The timestamp recorded will be the **exact moment the passing is entered**.
* The passing is then processed by the system using the full validation logic, ensuring it receives the appropriate status.
* This feature is particularly useful when a participant is observed crossing but their chip was not detected.

For broader corrections, consider using **Floating Passings**, which are not tied to a specific checkpoint but use the entire race plan to infer the correct placement. See [Floating Passings](/rufus-race-manager/collecting-and-managing-timing-data/floating-passings.md).

## Viewing Race Time

At the top of the Checkpoint-Race View, the **current race time** is displayed. This acts as a reference clock for the ongoing race and helps contextualize the passings you are reviewing.

## When to Use the Checkpoint-Race View

* **During the race** → Monitor live passings at a critical checkpoint.
* **After the race** → Review checkpoint activity for accuracy, identify missed or duplicated passings, and correct them with manual or floating entries.
* **Operational monitoring** → Focus on a specific race and checkpoint without being distracted by global event data.

## Summary

The Checkpoint-Race View is an essential operational tool in RRM. It provides:

* Detailed grids of all checkpoint passings for a race
* Manual addition of missing passings
* Real-time race time display
* Full grid management (filtering, sorting, grouping)

By using this view effectively, race organizers can maintain precise oversight of critical checkpoints and ensure reliable timing data throughout the event.
