On race day your phone does three jobs: it's your check-in pass, your timing screen and your window on every heat.

Who will win?
Call the winner of every race before it's run: one pick per discipline and category. The crowd's split stays hidden until you've picked, and nobody ever sees who you backed.
When it closes
Picks close once the final is up. Afterwards you'll see You called it or Not this time.
Championships
Call the champion of each class, too. A title closes once nothing left in the season can change it.
Reminders
About a week before a big competition you get a Picks are open reminder. Choose which races in Notifications.
Before qualifying
Practice times
When an event times its practice, Practice appears first on the Racing stage rail. It's the same board as qualifying: every run as a column, ranked by your best time, your own row highlighted.
How the times get there
From the timing at the finish line where the event has it, or typed or imported by the organizer. The board updates live for everyone.
On your phone
With Live times push on, each practice run reaches you as you finish — “Practice best · 1:02.519”, or “Fastest in practice” when nobody has gone quicker.
It doesn't count
Practice never touches results, stats, seeding or your rating. The one thing it can do: an organizer may set the qualifying start order by Practice times.
Qualifying sets your seed
Open Racing for the stage rail — Qualifying, Race to Qualify, Ladder, Hybrid or Knockout, whichever the event runs. Your own row is highlighted, with your best time, the gap and where the knockout cut falls.
Live times
With push on, your time arrives seconds after you cross the line: You're P1, New best.
Your card
Your qualifying card shows your place in the field, the gap to the leader, and the gap to another rider in metres.
The whole field
The distance-gap drawing shows the top 3 for free. The whole field — and how each of your runs placed you in it — is Premium.
At the start
When do I go?
On a qualifying or practice board, the Start list card shows who is Next. Open it for the whole order of this run: bibs, the times of those already down, and Still to run. More than one run? Tap one to see its order.
Who sets the order
The organizer: by bib, by name, by R4W rating, by times so far, by Practice times, by a random draw or as their own list. The line under the run says which; with nothing set it is usually By bib, lowest first.
Where the time goes
Sector splits
When the timing reads lines on the course, every run on a qualifying or practice board gets a coloured strip of sectors — between 2 and 4. Nothing to switch on: they appear as soon as there are splits.
Purple and green
Purple is the Fastest in the field, green your Personal best. A hollow dot is a Line not read.
Tap a run
The run's sectors against the fastest and your own best, then every run of yours side by side — with speeds when the organizer has drawn the course.
Ideal run
Under the board, the field's best sectors added up. In your sheet, Own ideal adds up yours — and shows how much is left in it.
For reading only
Splits never decide anything: only the finish time ranks you. They're free for everyone.
Heats and the knockout
In the knockout you race 2, 4 or 6 riders at a time, and the top half of each heat goes through until the final. Switch between Rounds and Tree, and tap any rider for their card.
DNS · DNF · DSQ
Did not start, did not finish, disqualified. A DNF or DSQ still counts as a start; a DNS is not scored as a result.
Consolation
Some events run a consolation heat for the semifinal losers, to decide the places behind the podium.
In a heat
Penalties and false starts
In heats — knockout, race to qualify, hybrid, ladder — the judges can penalise a rider, and the organizer records it on the heat. The place you keep after the penalty is your result in that heat. There are no time penalties.
Race penalty
Moves you back from where you crossed the line: usually 1, 2 or 3 places by level. Shows as −2 beside your name. It never puts you behind a rider who didn't finish.
Disqualified
A conduct penalty is a straight DSQ, marked CONDUCT; PEN is a DSQ for penalties. A DSQ still counts as a start.
False start
The first is a warning, FS1 beside your name. The second is a DSQ, shown as DSQ · FS.
Tap the mark
The level and the reason, where you Crossed the line and where you finished In the heat, and your Race penalties at this event. The organizer's comment shows only if they made it public.
Heat Insights
Every heat has an Insights button: a prediction before it runs — each rider's chance from qualifying, heat wins, head-to-head and stage form — a recap after, and a forecast for heats whose riders aren't known yet.
Free
The headline, and the Prediction, Recap or Forecast list.
Premium
The model breakdown, and the Head-to-Head, Path, Qualifying and Rating tabs.
