From the Event Select screen, you can manage existing events by clicking on them in the appropriate tab (Draft, Upcoming, or Past). This will open the event dashboard, where you can:

* **Edit Event Details**: Modify event information such as name, date, or edition.
* **Add Races and Participants**: Set up races and add participants to the event.
* **Monitor Event Progress**: Use the event control tools to monitor the event as it progresses.

## Event Statuses

### Draft Events

* **Draft** status is assigned to all newly created events. Events in this status are still being prepared and are not yet ready for public access.
* You can configure all aspects of the event while it is in draft mode, including adding participants, setting up races, and integrating timing devices.

### Upcoming and Past Events

* Once the event is **PUBLISHED**, they are moved from **Draft** to **Upcoming** or **Past** tabs correspondingly.
