Editing races
You can edit the details of a race after you’ve created it.
The setting Is visible? can be used to hide a race entirely from the students. This can be useful if you’ve prepared a race (the first race, for example) but haven’t decided when to run it. We recommend not running races right from the start of the project, so that students can make some progress on their editors before the first race.
The public /races page only ever shows one future race — the next one. So if you have ten races, all visible, only the next one will appear on that page (together with all past ones that are not hidden).
The setting Are results visible? can be used to hide race results while you are working on them. You can check that the results (and replaying) work as expected before publishing them to the students.
Changing races after results have been uploaded
You can usefully change the visibility of races (or fix typos). Otherwise, changing some details about the race after you’ve uploaded the results may not be helpful. It won’t change the results, and it won’t affect what is shown in the race player either (because that gets its data entirely from the race file). If you mean to change these things, upload a new race file.
If you upload a race file after you’ve already done so, the existing results will be deleted before being replaced with the new ones.
Deleting a race
You can delete a race. If you do so, its results will also be removed.
