Next Version 1.0.0

Create a Race

Next is a platform designed so anyone can create and run a race, but here’s a guide in case you have questions.

1) Add Race

Go to Races, then click Add Race. A 4-step wizard will open:

Step 1: General Information

The most important things here are:

Choose whether you will use a lap timer or not

Set the maximum number of pilots per group in a heat

If you are not using a lap timer, define how many points you will award per finishing position

Step 2: Select Individual
Step 3: Classes, Band Profile, and Stages

Add your race classes (for example, separating pilots into Pro and Sport). If you don’t need multiple classes, create just one.

Then select your band profile and your stages. These are optional—you can select 4, 2, or 1 stages depending on your race or practice workflow.

Step 4: Select a Format

Choose the format you will use for each stage. Currently available:

Practice: with or without points

Qualifying: fastest 1 lap, fastest 3 laps (with a lap timer; otherwise by position)

Race: double elimination (brackets), single elimination (brackets), round-robin (everyone vs everyone), no brackets

After creating a race

Click on the race and you will see these options:

1) Setup

General race configuration. You can fine-tune settings and, depending on your format, enable extra options—for example, automatic bump-up between classes if you want it.

2) Pilots

Add pilots manually (already registered), import pilots who joined via the app, or create them manually (for example, if they’re new or you don’t have internet at the moment).

3) Stages

Run your race workflow based on the stages you defined.

The square button ends a stage early

The play button starts/enters a stage

The spin button resets all stage data

4) Results

Review the stage results based on the selected format.

5) Engage

Create bets/polls about a group’s results or the event overall. Pilots respond using the Next App.
