For Event Organizers

If you're running a downhill race or open-track day and want a shared public leaderboard with a live time delta against a reference run, this is the path for you.

A public event in Racecraft is a single track, a single reference run, and a leaderboard everyone — riders, spectators, sponsors — can see at a public web page. Riders join with a phone, upload their runs, and appear on the leaderboard automatically.

Where to start

If you're new to public events, start with What is a public event. It explains the shape of an event and what it gives you.

When you're ready to run one:

What a public event is good for

  • a race-day leaderboard that updates as riders upload, with split times and time deltas everyone can see
  • a shared track context — every rider's run is measured against the same reference, so the times are directly comparable
  • a public link and QR code you can put on posters, social posts, WhatsApp groups, and start-line signage

What a public event is not

  • it's not a private team workspace. Use a team for internal analysis and coaching.
  • it's not self-serve right now. You request an event and we set it up. We're working toward operator-managed events; in the meantime, this is how it works.
  • it's not a timing system. Racecraft computes splits and deltas from video against a reference run. It's not a substitute for a chip- timing or transponder system if you need certified timing.

A note on identity

Riders on a public event leaderboard are tagged with the rider in the video, not necessarily the person who uploaded the file. Spectators and the leaderboard see the rider's name; the upload account is hidden.

If your event involves a few people uploading on behalf of many riders — common at smaller community events — make sure each upload is tagged with the correct rider. See How riders join.
