# Making Race Classifications

Race classifications are a critical part of ensuring that participants are ranked accurately based on their performance. The RUFUS Race Manager (RRM) provides comprehensive tools for classifying and processing race results, which can be integrated with the passings collected by the RUFUS Timing App.

To gain a thorough understanding of how to make race classifications using RRM, please refer to the following articles from the RRM documentation:

### Key Benefits of Using RRM for Classifications

* **Automated Processing**: Automatically classify participants based on collected passings, reducing manual effort and errors.
* **Flexible Categorization**: Categorize participants by age group, gender, or any custom criteria defined for your race.
* **Real-Time Insights**: As passings are recorded by the Timing App, classifications are updated in real-time, ensuring accurate and immediate results.

By leveraging the RRM classification tools, you can efficiently process and manage race results, providing participants with timely and accurate classifications.
