Viewing Race Podiums
The Podiums widget in RUFUS Race Manager (RRM) allows race organizers to instantly view podiums as they are formed in real time during the race. This feature provides a quick, clear view of top positions across different categories and makes exporting results for awards and announcements simple and professional.
Key Features
Automatic Podium Creation: RRM automatically generates podiums for all major classifications:
Global
Age group
Gender
Group
City
Team
Club
Country
Real-Time Completion Tracking: Completed podiums are marked with a green dot ✅, helping organizers quickly identify which categories are ready to be announced.
Configurable Top Positions: Choose whether to display the top 3, 5, or 10 finishers. This flexibility makes it suitable for both standard award ceremonies (top 3) and extended recognition formats.
GAP Field: The podium view shows the GAP between participants, making it clear how much time separated finishers in each category. This is especially useful for commentators and live announcers.
Interactive Navigation: By double-clicking on any participant, you can jump directly into the Participant View, where you’ll see all their rankings across all categories in which they appear.
Exclusión Rule: This option is available in the GENDER podiums. You can select to exclude winners on the GENDER podiums to be present in AGE GROUPS podiums
Export Options
The podium widget includes powerful export tools designed for award ceremonies and official documentation. Available options:
Current Podium Only (PDF): Export just the podium you are currently viewing (e.g., “Age group Master AH podium only”).
All Podiums: Export every podium for the selected classification type.
Only Completed Podiums: Export only podiums that have been fully filled (e.g., top 3 exists).
Exports are available in PDF for immediate ceremony printing. The exported PDFs are styled for clarity, including race name, category headers, racetime, pace, gap, and participant details.
Example Exports
Exports provide clean, professional podium lists with clear formatting. Each podium shows:
Rank
Name & Bib
Racetime
Pace
GAP (time difference to first place)
City, Country
Club, Team
This makes them ready for both ceremony announcements and public distribution.
Summary
The Podiums widget in RUFUS Race Manager brings clarity and speed to awards handling on race day. With real-time podium tracking, GAP analysis, configurable top positions, and instant exports, race organizers have everything they need to manage podium ceremonies efficiently and professionally.
