# Athletes View

The Athletes View in RUFUS Events App provides participants, spectators, clubs, and teams with a searchable list of registered athletes for an event.

This view is especially useful before race day, allowing athletes to verify their registration details and helping organizers reduce data corrections before the event starts.

## Key Features of the Athletes View

### Event Information

The Athletes View can display the event date window and general event context, depending on the event configuration.

This helps visitors understand when the event takes place and whether they are viewing information before, during, or after the race.

### Race Selection

When an event includes multiple races, visitors can switch between races using the race selector.

This allows the participant list to be filtered by race, making it easier to browse large events with several distances, categories, or race formats.

### Search Functionality

Visitors can search for athletes by name or bib number.

This is useful for:

* Athletes checking their own registration
* Spectators looking for a specific participant
* Clubs reviewing their registered athletes
* Teams confirming who is included in the event

### Participant List

The participant list displays the main athlete information published from RUFUS Race Manager.

Depending on the event configuration, this may include:

* Bib number
* Athlete name
* Country flag
* Gender
* Birth year
* Race
* Category or age group
* City
* Club
* Team
* Additional registration fields

The exact information shown may vary depending on the data published and the fields enabled for the event.

### Fan Subscriptions

When fan notifications are enabled for the event, visitors may be able to subscribe to race updates for specific athletes directly from the Athletes View.

In this case, athlete rows may display a notification icon. Visitors can select an athlete to subscribe to available race updates.

Fan subscription availability depends on the event configuration, notification settings, selected race, and active subscription window.

### Automatic Updates

The Athletes View can update automatically when new participant data is published.

Visitors do not need to manually refresh the page to see updated information once the app receives the latest publication data.

## How to Use the Athletes View

1. Open the event in RUFUS Events App.
2. Navigate to the Athletes tab.
3. Select the race you want to view, if the event includes multiple races.
4. Use the search bar to find an athlete by name or bib number.
5. Review the athlete information displayed in the participant list.
6. If fan subscriptions are available, select the athlete or notification icon to subscribe to race updates.

## Benefits of the Athletes View

The Athletes View helps:

* Athletes verify their registration information before race day.
* Organizers reduce corrections and support requests.
* Spectators find participants they want to follow.
* Clubs and teams review their members.
