Release 146
Accepted genders per race, moving to a team and RACE RESULT records kept
A participant of a gender that is not accepted can no longer register: nothing to move by hand. A solo entrant can also join a team with a balance due, and RACE RESULT stops deleting your records.
Choose the accepted genders for a race
You can reserve a race for one or more genders, for example a women’s 10 km or a Hyrox category. All genders are accepted by default, and gender must be requested from participants for the restriction to apply.
A participant of a gender that is not accepted cannot complete their registration: a message tells them which gender the race is reserved for. The rule also applies to the waiting list, manual registration, bulk import (the row is blocked with its reason) and race changes. Your event page shows that the race is reserved.
To get started: Configuration › Races, open a race, then set Accepted genders.
Move a participant to a team, even with a balance due
When a race change to a team race leaves a balance due, the team request is now accepted. Before, it was refused: you had to waive the difference or start over.
The change goes out with its payment link. As soon as the participant has paid, they are on the new race, in the requested team: a new team under the name you entered, or an existing team. Until something is paid, they stay solo on their original race and no team is created.
If the team is no longer valid when the payment arrives, a team in the participant’s name is created and the operation is recorded in the activity log. Taking a participant out of a team while a balance is due is still refused: waive the registration or mark it as paid, then retry the change.
To get started: Registrations › Participants, open a participant, then Change race. Choose Create a new team or Join an existing team, then Confirm and send a payment link.
Your RACE RESULT records are no longer deleted by mistake
Synchronization with RACE RESULT now deletes only the records created by Miles Republic. A record entered or renamed directly in RACE RESULT is never touched.
Before, when the Miles identification field did not exist in the RACE RESULT event, every record was taken for a Miles record, same-day registrations included. The rule applies in both bib management modes.
Old bibs already sent that no longer match any participant stay in RACE RESULT: you can delete them by hand.
Also in this release
- Put a participant whose invitation expired or who declined it back on hold, one by one or in bulk: “Registrations” › “On hold”, action “Put back on hold”
- The participant table and export show whether options were handed over, and the export gives the Miles Check volunteer and the handover date
- When you enter new edition dates, the banner says the status must be set to “Confirmed” to move the races, and the event page no longer errors on a half-typed date
- When a registration is blocked, the window gives the cause (registrations not open yet, closed, race full, waiting list) and sends people back to the event, the cart or the group
- A start wave with no stock left no longer prevents you from confirming a registration as a free payment
- Custom options and questions keep the order you chose from one participant record to the next
- On desktop, the price no longer overlaps a race name in the race choice on the event page
