## Key Features ### Seamless Event Publishing With RUFUS Race Manager, event organizers can publish participants, event information, and race results to RUFUS Events App directly from the timing workflow. ### Events Section in RUFUS Cloud Published events appear in the Events section of RUFUS Cloud, where organizers can manage publication settings, update event information, configure visibility, and control how the event is presented to visitors. ### Custom Event Pages Each published event receives a unique public URL that can be shared with participants, spectators, clubs, sponsors, and media.
Example: These event pages can include event information, registration details, race lists, participant search, live leaderboards, race progress, team cups, and athlete result pages. ### Participant Information Before race day, visitors can search and review participant information such as name, bib number, country, gender, birth year, race, category, club, team, city, or other registration fields depending on the event configuration. ### Live Results and Rankings During and after the race, RUFUS Events App displays live results and rankings based on the data published from RUFUS Race Manager.
