The Roster Athletics platform allows for managing track and field competitions, including mass races. We have introduced the option of selecting a competition profile to simplify the management of running events.
To create a new competition, go to the left-hand side menu and either (i) select Browse and click the Create button, or (ii) select Create.
In the new window, select the competition profile:
- Track & Field - This profile includes all events and configuration options.
- Road race - This profile is specific for Cross Country (XC), Road Running (RR), Fell, and Trail events. Only relevant events are available, and it simplifies some of the event configuration.
By selecting the Road race profile, you won't be able to select some events or use options characteristic of indoor and outdoor track and field events, such as:
- relay events,
- race walking events,
- events with multiple stages (including qualification rules),
- using imperial units (ft-in),
- individual scoring,
- fantasy game.
Please note: you cannot change the Competition profile after the competition is created.
After selecting a profile, click the Create button. Depending on the selected profile, you will be directed to the form for adding a new competition. Follow the Set up a meet/meeting (if you selected Track & Field profile) or Set up a race (if you selected Road race) user guide to learn more about the next steps in creating the competition.
