  1. Collecting and Managing Timing Data

Editing Timing Data

In RUFUS Race Manager (RRM), captured passings cannot be edited to ensure data consistency and integrity. However, users do have the option to manage the passings in two ways:

  1. Deleting Passings: Users can remove passings if they are incorrect or unnecessary.

  2. Validating or Invalidating Passings: Passings can be marked as VALIDATED or INVALIDATED by the user. This allows for manual verification and control over which passings should be considered during race timing and participant rankings.

Correcting Incorrect Time Entries

If a passing is captured with an incorrect timestamp, it cannot be directly edited. Instead, users can delete the incorrect passing and manually add a new passing with the correct timestamp. This ensures data accuracy without compromising consistency.

Manually Adding Missing Times

When a passing is missing from the data, users can manually add a passing through either the Checkpoint-Race View or while editing a participant. When adding a passing from the Checkpoint-Race View, the passing undergoes the same validation process as other timing data. When adding from the Edit Participant tab, the passing is directly assigned and validated for the participant and checkpoint.

Approving or Rejecting Data Entries

Users can manually review passings and mark them as VALIDATED or INVALIDATED. This is particularly useful for ensuring the reliability of passings data, especially in cases where automated systems may have captured duplicate or erroneous passings. By validating or invalidating entries, users maintain control over the final race data used in classification and ranking.
