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.
