Guide ยท Competitions
Use RCMap on event day to check in drivers, tech entries, score runs, watch live standings, and publish final results.
Use this guide during a live club competition, after the event has already been created in RCMap. It covers the working flow for registration table staff, tech inspectors, judges, scorekeepers, and competition directors.
By the end, entries are checked in, trucks are teched, runs are scored and reviewed, live standings are accurate, and final results are published for the official event record.
Check in entries first, tech trucks second, score runs third, review standings fourth, and publish final results last.
Start from the competition page. Confirm the title, status, schedule, division list, course setup, and registered driver count before workers begin check-in.
Managers use Run day tools to open registration, start the comp, publish finals, or export standings. Assigned judges also see Run scoring when they have scoring access.
Use the Who's going panel for event-level attendance. Workers can ask drivers to RSVP, add a short check-in note, and confirm who is physically on site.
Use Registered drivers for entry-level check-in. Managers can choose Check in for each entry; drivers can check in their own entry when they are signed in.
A manager or assigned tech inspector can mark an entry with Tech pass when the truck is eligible for the division.
Choose DQ only when the entry should be removed from active competition. Disqualified and withdrawn entries are excluded from the active run order and standings display.
Open Run scoring, find the driver's division and entry, then choose Start run for the correct course. RCMap creates or resumes the run and assigns the current judge.
Record each scoring event with the buttons on the run card: Gate, Reverse, Touch, Progress, and Finish. A finish observation ends the run. Review the observation list before locking.
Return to the competition page to review Live results. RCMap groups standings by division and sorts drivers by lowest points, then completed runs, then entry number.
Use Export CSV when you need a spreadsheet copy for announcements, backups, or club records.
When every division has been reviewed, choose Publish final. RCMap moves the competition to final status and locks runs that are part of the result set.
Do this after scorekeepers have resolved protests, voided mistaken observations, and confirmed the CSV or public standings match the announced results.
Club managers, competition organizers, scorekeepers, and assigned judges can open the Run comp page. Managers assign judges and scorekeepers from the competition page before or during the event.
Drivers can check in their own entry when they are signed in. Managers can check in any entry, which is usually faster at a registration table.
Event check-in records who is on site for the event. Entry check-in changes a registered competition entry to checked in so workers know it is ready for tech and run order.
Yes, before the run is locked or the competition is final. Void the mistaken observation from the run card, then record the correct observation. Managers can unlock a locked run before finalization.
RCMap moves the competition to final status, freezes scoring changes, records the finalized time, and locks runs for the official standings.
