A result set is the container your results live in at RunSignup. Each one has its own URL, its own settings, and its own position in the list on your race's results page.


RaceDay Scoring creates and updates result sets for you when you set up an Auto-Save. The Result Set Management screen lets you work with result sets that already exist at RunSignup, including ones that no report publishes to anymore. You can also edit result sets at RunSignup itself, but this screen is faster and shows you which sets your race is actually using.


When to use this screen

  • Clean up leftover or duplicate result sets, which is common on a renewed race or after you rebuild reports partway through setup.
  • Rename a result set. Renaming a report in RaceDay Scoring does not rename the result set that report already created at RunSignup.
  • Change the order your result sets appear in on the RunSignup results page.
  • Show only your team results when a report publishes both. Team scoring for more than one team type needs a separate report per team type, and each one creates its own individual result set at RunSignup.
  • Hide a result set from the public while you finish reviewing it, or mark it as preliminary.
  • Hide team standings for a division you are scoring but not publishing.
  • Clear test results out of a set before race day without deleting the set or breaking its URL.
  • Add your timing company's name and website to your results.
  • Adjust team result set display settings such as decimals, distance units, and scoring depth.

Open Result Set Management

  1. Open your race and go to Reports.
  2. Click Result Set Management.



The button appears only for races connected to RunSignup, and it stays disabled until you are logged in to RunSignup. The screen has two tabs: Individual Result Sets and Team Result Sets.



Each result set is a collapsed panel. Click the heading to expand it. On the Individual tab, the heading also shows how many results the set currently holds, which is a quick way to check whether your results reached RunSignup at all. A set showing 0 results has not received anything, even if the report looks full in RaceDay Scoring.


Which screen controls which setting

Some settings exist both here and in a report's Auto-Save Settings. When a report still auto-saves to a result set, saving that report's Auto-Save Settings rewrites the result set at RunSignup and overwrites what you set here. How much it overwrites depends on the tab.


Individual result sets

Saving a report's Auto-Save Settings rewrites the Result Set Title, Pace Type, Results Timer Name, Results Timer URL, and Result Questions URL, resets Disable Result Notifications to the auto-save setting, and turns Public Results back on.

It leaves Preliminary Results, Hide Splits In Results, Hide Event Names, and your display order alone. Those are yours to set here.

Team result sets

Saving a report's Auto-Save Settings rewrites nearly every field on the Team tab, including the display order. It turns Public Results on, turns Preliminary Results off, turns Show Elevation Gain off, and turns Display Under/Over Team Size Scores on.


Num. Scored Finishers and Num. Counted Finishers come back from the Team Scoring Depth and displacement settings on your Scored Event, so change those in Scored Events > Team Scoring rather than here. Edits you make on the Team tab are best treated as temporary for any team result set a report is still auto-saving to.


Individual Result Set settings

  • Result Set Title - The name shown at RunSignup, including on your race's results overview tiles. Renaming a report in RaceDay Scoring does not rename a result set that report already created, so change the name here. Titles longer than 125 characters are shortened when saved.
  • Pace Type - Do Not Display, Time per Mile, Miles per Hour, Time per KM, or KM per Hour.
  • Results Timer Name and Results Timer URL - Credits your timing company on the results page and links back to your site.
  • Result Questions URL - Where participants go with questions about their results.
  • Public Results - Uncheck to hide the set from the public while you review it, or to hide an individual result set that is associated with a team result set. Saving that report's Auto-Save Settings turns Public Results back on, so check this again after you change a report's auto-save setup.
  • Disable Result Notifications - Stops RunSignup from sending result notifications for this set.
  • Preliminary Results - Marks results as unofficial at RunSignup.
  • Hide Splits In Results - Keeps split times out of the published results.
  • Hide Event Names - Hides the list of event names that appears under the result set name on your race's results overview page. Useful when one result set covers several events and the repeated names clutter the tiles.


Two buttons act on the set directly. View Results opens the set at RunSignup in your browser, which is the quickest way to confirm what is actually in a set before you change or remove it. Clear Results empties it.



Show team results without the extra individual lists

Team scoring for more than one team type needs its own report per team type, because team types with different scoring criteria cannot share one Overall w/Teams report. Each of those reports creates its own individual result set at RunSignup, which leaves you with several individual lists when you only wanted one.

To show only the individual list you want:

  1. Go to Reports and click Result Set Management.
  2. Expand each individual result set you want out of public view and uncheck Public Results.
  3. Click Save.

Your team result sets stay public. Because those reports are still auto-saving, saving their Auto-Save Settings turns Public Results back on, so come back and uncheck it again after you change a report's auto-save setup.


Team Result Set settings

The Team tab includes Pace Type, Results Timer Name and URL, Result Questions URL, Public Results, and Preliminary Results, plus these:

  • Team Result Set Name - Required. Keep it to 125 characters or less, because longer names are shortened when saved.
  • Num. Decimals to Show with Times - Between 0 and 3.
  • Total Distance Units - None, KM, Meters, Miles, Yards, or Feet.
  • Num. Scored Finishers - How many finishers per team add up to the team score. This matches your Team Scoring Depth, for example 5 in a typical cross country meet.
  • Num. Counted Finishers - How far down each team's finishers count for displacement, for example 7. This cannot be lower than Num. Scored Finishers.
  • Show Elevation Gain - Adds an elevation gain column.
  • Display Under/Over Team Size Scores - Shows scores for teams that are under or over the required size.


Public Results works the same way on this tab. Uncheck it to keep a team result set out of public view, for example when you are scoring team standings for a division that the race does not want published.


View Team Results opens the team results at RunSignup. View Individual Results opens the individual set the team results are built from, or gives you a list to choose from when the team set draws on more than one.



Reorder result sets

Drag a panel by its heading to move it. The order on this screen becomes the order your result sets appear in at RunSignup. Click Save when you are done.

Your order on the Individual tab sticks. On the Team tab, saving a report's Auto-Save Settings sets the order from that report's priority instead, so reorder team result sets after you finish changing auto-saves.


Clear results from a set

Expand the set and click Clear Results, then confirm. This removes every result from the set but keeps the set and its URL intact, which makes it the safe way to wipe test data before race day.

Clear Results happens immediately. It does not wait for you to click Save, and you cannot undo it.


Why you have extra result sets

Extra result sets at RunSignup are common, and they are usually clutter rather than a problem. They build up because:

  • You published or auto-saved a report earlier and later stopped using it. The result set it created stays at RunSignup.
  • You changed Team Scoring settings and rebuilt your reports during setup. Each round can leave its own result sets behind.
  • A team result set was left behind after the individual result set it was built from was removed.

Only the sets tied to your current auto-saves are doing any work. The next section explains how to tell which is which.


Delete a result set

Look at the trash can icon before anything else. A greyed out trash can means the set is linked to a report that is currently auto-saving to RunSignup, and RaceDay Scoring shows "Result set is in use, remove from report autosave first." That is the set feeding your live results, so it is the one to keep. The sets you can delete are the leftovers.


To delete one, click the delete icon on the panel. The panel turns red to show it is marked for deletion. Nothing is removed until you click Save, and RaceDay Scoring then asks you to confirm each set by name before deleting it.


Deleting a team result set removes that Team Results tab at RunSignup. Deleting any result set also breaks links that point directly at that set's URL, so check whether the race director has shared or embedded that link first.


If you are not certain a set is a leftover, hide it instead of deleting it. Click View Results to see what is in it, then uncheck Public Results to take it out of public view. Hiding is reversible and deleting is not, and timers have deleted the wrong set and lost their live team results.


If you do need to remove a set that is in use, remove the RunSignup Results stream from that report's Auto-Save Settings first, then come back and delete the set.


Save your changes

Click Save to send your changes to RunSignup. A confirmation appears when the save succeeds. If you try to leave the screen with unsaved changes, RaceDay Scoring warns you first.

The Individual and Team tabs save separately. Save one tab before switching to the other.
