Team quickstart

This walks a coach or team manager from "I have an account" to "my team is comparing runs against a shared reference." Plan on about fifteen minutes once everyone has the app installed.

Before you start

You need:

  • the Racecraft app, signed in with your account
  • your riders' contact details (email or phone) so you can invite them
  • at least one clean reference run of the track you want to use as the canonical pass — either footage you have, or footage one of your riders has

If you want context on what a reference run is, see Reference run. The short version: it's the canonical pass that defines the track for everyone in the session.

1. Create a team

In the app, create a new team and give it a meaningful name (your team or club name, or the name of the program you're coaching). You'll be the team's owner.

2. Invite your riders

Add each rider by email or phone. They'll get an invite they can accept from inside the app.

For more on the invite mechanics — what riders see, how to remove someone, what happens to their runs — see Inviting riders.

3. Create a shared track session

Inside the team, create a new track session for the track you want to analyse together. A session is one track — if you're going to coach on two different tracks, that's two sessions.

Give it a name everyone will recognize ("Whistler GLC", "Mont Sainte Anne practice").

4. Upload and confirm the reference run

Upload the run you want to use as the reference, then mark and confirm its splits. Once confirmed, the reference is the canonical pass for the whole team — anyone uploading runs into this session will be compared against it automatically.

If you need detail on either step, see Uploading runs and Marking splits. They work the same for teams as for solo riders.

5. Have your riders upload their runs

Each rider opens the team's session in their app and uploads their own footage. Racecraft processes each new run, aligns it against the reference, and predicts its splits. The rider confirms the predicted splits — and the run lands on the team's leaderboard.

If you're coaching and uploading on a rider's behalf, tag each run with the correct athlete name — that's what shows up on the leaderboard and in the comparison, regardless of which account uploaded the file.

6. Compare across riders

In the session, you'll see every run from every rider, the leaderboard ranking them, and per-run comparisons against the reference. Open any run to see its splits, its delta to the reference, and the continuous time-delta curve.

For how to read those views, see Reading the comparison. For how to give feedback at the team level, see Reviewing an athlete.

What's next

  • Add more sessions for other tracks. Each session has its own reference and its own leaderboard.
  • If a rider leaves the team, see Inviting riders for how removal works and what happens to their runs.
  • If you also want to host a public race with a shared leaderboard outside your team, see What is a public event — that's a separate workflow.
