# Reviewing virtual workouts

For **virtual competitions**, participants submit one or more GPS-tracked workouts. Organizers review them under **Workouts**.

**Path:** Competition → **Workouts**

## What you see

Each row shows the participant, activity source, distance covered, calculated time to target distance, and validation status.

## Invalid activities

Activities may be rejected when:

- GPS data is missing or insufficient
- Distance does not reach the required amount
- Activity falls outside the competition window
- Sport type is not accepted

## Manual review

Open a workout to inspect the track and result calculation. Contact the participant or adjust results if your rules allow.

## Per-workout actions

On a workout detail page you can override automatic validation:

| Action | When to use |
|--------|-------------|
| **Set as result** | Accept this workout as the participant's official time — replaces any existing result and recalculates standings |
| **Delete result** | Remove this workout from scoring. If the competition uses **best workout** rules, the next-best remaining activity becomes the result automatically |
| **Add penalty** | Add seconds to the calculated time (e.g. rule violation). Enter penalty in seconds — standings and team scores recalculate |

Each action is logged in the workout history for audit.

Flagged activities show the reason DistantRace rejected the GPS data (missing track, insufficient distance, etc.) before you override.

## Remove all results (per participant)

On a **virtual racer detail** page (start list → open virtual entry), **Remove all results** clears every submitted workout and deletes calculated results for that participant. Standings and team scores recalculate automatically.

Use when:

- All synced activities are invalid and the participant must re-submit
- A data import error attached wrong workouts
- Fair-play decision to reset one entry only

For challenge participants, the equivalent is **Remove all activities** on the challenger detail — [Editing individual challenge participants](editing-individual-challenge-participants.md).
