Event Control View
The Event Control View in RUFUS Race Manager (RRM) provides a complete and centralized workspace for monitoring, validating, and managing all passings of an event. It consolidates every captured passing—regardless of device, file, or source—into a single operational dashboard focused purely on raw timing data. This makes it the primary environment for real-time supervision during a race.
Main Features
Centralized passings management
All passings generated during the event—whether from CloudBox devices, backup files, manual inputs, or floating passings—are displayed and managed in one place.
Real-time visibility
Passings appear instantly as they are received from any source. The grid updates live without needing to refresh.
Flexible and powerful data grid
The data grid supports:
Searching and instant filtering
Sorting and grouping
Column arrangement and customization
Fast scrolling for large-scale events
Exporting data to CSV
Floating passings
Floating passings let operators manually insert a passing anywhere in the race timeline. They are ideal for:
Correcting missed reads
Handling uncommon race situations
Reconciling handwritten notes or manual observations
Floating passings are clearly marked to differentiate them from device-generated passings.
Race Control Widgets
Race-level control
Each race includes a dedicated control widget showing:
Elapsed time since the race start
A Process passings toggle
Visual indicators of the race’s processing state
These widgets allow operators to pause or resume passing processing per race, and to quickly understand the timing state of each race.
Checkpoint Control Widgets
Checkpoint-level management
Each checkpoint appears with its own widget containing:
A processing toggle
Status and activity indicators
These controls allow operators to enable or disable the processing of individual checkpoints and to focus on specific segments of the course when needed.
Global Start Time Widget
Multi-race start synchronization
When an event contains two or more races, the Global Start Time widget allows setting or adjusting the start time for multiple races simultaneously. This is especially useful for:
Mass-start events
Synchronizing multiple races sharing the same start line
Grid Columns
BIB
Participant’s bib number
Chip
RFID chip code assigned to the participant
Name
Participant’s name
Age Group
Participant’s age group, if defined
Lap
Lap number associated with the passing
Race
Race in which the participant competes
Checkpoint
Checkpoint where the passing was recorded
Virtual
Indicates if the passing belongs to a virtual lap, when applicable
Sector
Sector number, when applicable
Racetime
Time elapsed since the race start
Time of the Day
Exact timestamp of the passing
Status
Passing status (VALID, ORPHAN, INVALIDATED, EOTR, etc.)
Type
Type of passing (Local, Manual, Floating, Backup File, Cloud)
Device
Device or file source that generated the passing
Context Actions
Right-clicking a passing opens a contextual menu allowing you to:
Delete passing
Reprocess passing
Set passing as invalidated by user
These tools are essential when resolving timing conflicts or adjusting data integrity.
Tips
Use the search bar to quickly isolate passings by bib, chip, or name.
Combine status filtering with checkpoint widgets to resolve timing issues faster.
Utilize floating passings for edge cases or manual corrections.
