# 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**](/rufus-race-manager/team-cups/teams-overview-widget.md) 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.
