There are specific events such as activity challenges or virtual races where the progress of the participants' activities is more relevant than their current location. For that reason, we have been asked to enable our tracking apps to show the leaderboard as the 1st screen when users open the event in the app.

We added two options in the visualization section of each tracking map:

• Default app screen (either the map or the leaderboard)
• Disabled app screen e.g. to hide the tracking map from publicity

Users like our easy and flexible results as this solution works with real-time data (live ranks) and is optimized for mobile usage.

We were asked to add two more features to our ranks.

• Connect multiple contests respectively stages.
• Integrate the filter tags from our visualization. Tags can be gender, age group, or whatever is needed to classify the participants in your event.

Now users can switch between contests and filter participants in the leaderboard directly. Each filter tag provides the corresponding ranking. That way you can classify various categories among the participants of your event.

We've added the ability to show 3rd party result lists like from your timekeeping system in the tracking map. This new feature is a great tool for those who provide live tracking in a custom tracking app such as timekeepers and other event professionals.

Activate the external leaderboard in the progress and rank settings of your Racemap event and 

• Option 1: Show the leaderboard of the corresponding RACE|RESULT event. The event ID is taken from the import of the participants. 
• Option 2: Past the URL of your result list. 

We embed the list in the corresponding tracking map.

We added the option to show the split icon in the header of the leaderboard. Select from name, distance, and icon (or nothing at all) to be displayed in the head of each column. Find all options in the setting of the progress and rank add-on.

Use the leaderboard and the visualization to compare activities from all participants in your event. Independent of if participants start 

• anytime like a permanent timing event
• anywhere like a virtual race
• or if it is just a regular sports event.

Find the new progress and rank panel under add-ons in the basic settings of your event. The best settings & features with two to four clicks, only.

We were asked to add overall information to our leaderboard. So we developed the team challenge option, which motivates participants to cooperate. 

In the progress and rank section, you can now select the elements for each of your leaderboards, separately. With team challenge, you set the target distance (sum of all contributed distances) and the title of the challenge. 

The overall challenge is displayed in the leaderboard, directly.

For a detailed description of our leaderboard solution and real-time scoring check out our documentation.

We've released a possibility to select and set duration (new) or distance as the target parameter in leaderboard settings. This option is available for leaderboards without a given race track. 

When choosing this option your corresponding leaderboard provides splits as distance value.

Now, the leaderboard automatically evaluates the status of each participant if its geolocations do not cover the required distance within event time.

Events without given race track (virtual race)

• DNF (did not finish): If the participant does not reach the target of the event.
• DNS (did not start): If the participant did not send any geolocation. 

Events with given track (regular events or permanent courses)

• DSQ (disqualified): If the first geolocation of the participant is more than 500m behind the start location on the shadowtrack.
• DNF: If the last geolocation of the participant does not reach the finish location on the shadowtrack.
• DNS: If no geolocation is mapped on the shadowtrack.

Customers using our leaderboard add-on for virtual races wish to manually edit the finish time. As we calculate the results automatically from geolocation data values might deviate to a measurement with a stop watch. You can now adjust this value in the column Manual Result in the participants list.

We heard about use cases that need a strict time frame to consider geolocations of individual participants. Now you can edit two new parameters First Time and Last Time for each entry separately in the participant list. 

• The default values of first- & last time are the settings of your event. 
• If a participant redeems a key in Racemap App then its corresponding first time parameter is updated automatically, when live tracking is started in the app next time.

First time is the 1st possible geolocation considered for visualization of the tracking map and for calculating the leaderboard. That way you can 

• prevent showing participants on their way home after they have finished your race and forgot to stop live tracking. 
• connect the same tracking app to multiple running events.
