# Participant Rankings

From the **Edit Participant** tab in RUFUS Race Manager (RRM), users can view a participant’s performance relative to other competitors through the Rankings widget. This section provides a quick overview of how the participant stands across different categories, helping organizers and officials verify results and classifications.

## Viewing Rankings

The Rankings widget displays the participant’s position in several categories:

* **Global**: The participant’s overall position among all finishers.
* **Age Group**: The participant’s ranking within their registered age group.
* **Gender**: The participant’s position within their gender category.
* **Group**: The participant’s result within the assigned group (if groups are configured for the event).
* **Club**: The participant’s ranking within their registered club (if applicable).
* **Team**: The participant’s ranking within their registered team (if applicable).
* **City**: The participant’s ranking within their registered city (if applicable).
* **Country**: The participant’s ranking within their registered country (if applicable).

Each entry shows the participant’s position followed by the total number of competitors in that category (e.g., *1 / 51*).

## Understanding the Rankings

* **Automatic Updates**: Rankings are updated automatically as new passings are validated and processed by the system.
* **Consistency Across Categories**: Rankings provide a layered perspective of performance, allowing participants to be compared both globally and within their peer groups.
* **Linked to Passings**: Any modification in passings (validation, deletion, or adding new ones) can influence the participant’s position in these rankings.

## Conclusion

The Rankings widget in the Edit Participant tab provides a clear snapshot of where a participant stands in the race across multiple categories. By combining global, demographic, and group-based results, it ensures accurate classification and an easy-to-understand overview of performance.
