Team Cup Dashboard
The Team Cup Dashboard is the main workspace for viewing, managing, and validating a specific Team Cup in RUFUS Race Manager (RRM). It brings together team eligibility, scoring configuration, live rankings, and reporting in a single view.
Each Team Cup has its own panel, accessible from the Team Cups Menu.
Panel Overview
At a glance, the Team Cup Panel provides:
A summary of the Team Cup configuration
The Teams Overview widget
The results grid with final team rankings
Export and reporting tools
All data displayed in the panel updates dynamically as race results and participant data change.
Team Cup Header
At the top of the panel, the header displays key information about the Team Cup:
Team Cup name
Races contributing to the cup
Team composition type (male, female, or mixed)
Scoring rule (for example, best N members)
Scoring model (points table, time-based, or position-based)
These indicators provide immediate context for understanding how the rankings are calculated.
Teams Overview Widget
The Teams Overview widget occupies the upper section of the panel and is used to track teams through their lifecycle in the Team Cup.
It is divided into three tabs:
Available – teams detected in the selected races
Eligible – teams that meet all cup rules
Classified – teams contributing to the final results
From this widget, you can:
Inspect team composition
Identify why teams are not eligible
Review which teams are scoring
Generate PDF reports for each tab
(See Teams Overview Widget for a detailed explanation.)
Results Grid
The Results Grid displays the final Team Cup classification.
What the Grid Shows
For each classified team, the grid includes:
Team rank
Team name
Final score or time
The grid reflects the scoring model and tie-breaking rules defined in the Team Cup configuration.
Sorting and Search
The Results Grid supports:
Sorting by columns
Searching teams by name
This makes it easy to locate specific teams in large competitions.
Exporting Results
The Team Cup Panel allows you to export Team Cup results as PDF reports. These reports are generated from the Results Grid and reflect the current state of the Team Cup at the moment of export.
RUFUS Race Manager provides two types of Team Cup reports:
Default (Summary) Report
Detailed Report
Both formats are suitable for official distribution and archiving.
Default Report (Rankings Only)
The Default report provides a clean, high-level overview of the Team Cup classification.
This report includes:
Team Cup name and creation date
Races included in the cup
Team composition and scoring rules
Final team ranking
Team name and total score or time
This format is ideal for:
Publishing official team rankings
Sharing concise results with participants or clubs
Printing or posting results on notice boards
It focuses exclusively on final standings, without individual athlete breakdowns.
Detailed Report
The Detailed report expands the default view by including full team composition and scoring contributions.
In addition to the ranking information, this report shows:
All classified teams
Each contributing athlete per team
Bib number and athlete name
Race, gender, individual rank, and finish time
Points or time contribution of each athlete
Clear grouping of athletes under their respective teams
This format is ideal for:
Result verification and auditing
Explaining how team scores were calculated
Resolving disputes or answering detailed inquiries
Internal review and technical documentation
The detailed report provides full transparency into the scoring logic of the Team Cup.
Choosing the Right Report
Use the Default report when you only need final team rankings
Use the Detailed report when you need to explain or validate how results were produced
Both reports are generated directly from the same data source, ensuring consistency between on-screen results and exported documents.
Live and Post-Race Behavior
The Team Cup Panel works seamlessly both during and after an event:
During live races, teams may appear as classified but not scoring yet until enough finishers are available
As results arrive, eligibility and scoring update automatically
After the race, the panel represents the final official Team Cup classification
No manual recalculation is required at any stage.
Transparency and Validation
One of the key strengths of the Team Cup Panel is transparency.
From this panel, you can:
Trace each team’s score back to individual athletes
Validate eligibility and scoring logic
Clearly explain results to clubs, teams, or officials
This makes the Team Cup Panel a reliable reference for both operational use and official reporting.
When to Use the Team Cup Panel
You’ll work in the Team Cup Panel when you need to:
Monitor team eligibility and participation
Validate scoring rules during an event
Review and publish team rankings
Export official team results
It is the central control point for all team-based competitions in RRM.
