Race Complete

The header turns green. The message on the dashboard says what everyone in the room already feels: "The race is completed. Everybody did a great job! Thank you so much!"

All sections on the dashboard — Planning, Participants, Runs, Judging, Awards — collapse with "Complete" badges. The race is archived. No more changes, no more matchups, no more award assignments. What happened tonight is now a permanent record.

The Public Page Lives On

The public page doesn't disappear when the race ends. The link stays active — parents can revisit it tomorrow, next week, or next year. The full Awards table with every position, every trophy icon, and the complete run history is preserved.

Share the link in your pack's group chat after the event. Families who couldn't attend can see the results. Kids can show their grandparents. It's the race's permanent scorecard.

Photos Are Removed

If racer photos were uploaded during check-in, they were visible on the matchup screen and on the public page throughout the race. Once the race is marked complete, those photos are no longer served.

This is a child safety measure — consistent with Youth Protection Training (YPT) principles. While the race is actively running in a supervised environment, showing a participant's photo on a matchup card adds to the excitement and helps the audience follow along. But a publicly accessible page that indefinitely displays children's photos is a different matter. The system draws that line automatically.

Race data — names, categories, stats, awards, run history — remains. Only the images are removed.

Collect Feedback

Remember the Feedback Survey from the print materials? Now is the time to hand it out — or remind families to fill it in before they leave.

The survey asks questions that matter: Did the racing feel fair? What excited the kids most? Would you recommend this format to other packs? The answers help you tune next year's event — adjust the tournament style, reconfigure awards, change the balancing strategy. Eighteen questions, anonymous, a few minutes to complete.

If you printed them during planning, the stack should still be on the registration table. If not — there's always next time.

What's Next?

The race is done, but the system remembers everything. Next time you create a new race, participant names autocomplete from previous events — no re-entering twenty names by hand. Your award configuration carries over as a starting point. The planning checklist is fresh, but the decisions you made last time are still visible in the completed race as a reference.

And if you're curious how your balancing settings worked out — the participants table in the completed race still shows every racer's Balance and Excitement metrics. Compare them to last year's. See what improved. Adjust for next time.
