Competition advanced settings
Competition advanced settings
Path: Competition dashboard → Settings → Advanced
Competition advanced settings are simpler than challenge advanced settings — no scoring tiers or CO₂ fields.
Show participant birth years #
Field: Show years on registration / public lists
When enabled, birth year (or age group derived from it) is visible on start lists and public views.
Locked when registrations exist
If participants already registered without age verification on the form, this toggle may be disabled to avoid inconsistent data.
When disabled, birth years are hidden from public views (hide_year in event params).
Child subaccounts #
Field: Child subaccounts
Applies to: Virtual competitions — disabled for in-person ticket races.
Same workflow as challenges — parents register children and submit activities manually. See Advanced challenge settings → Child subaccounts.
External signup URL #
Optional HTTPS link for white-label paid registration on an external site. Leave blank to use DistantRace checkout.
Create linked virtual event (in-person races) #
Button: Create virtual event
Applies when: In-person race is open and has no linked virtual event yet.
Creates a companion virtual competition with:
- Matching distances (virtual equivalents)
- Free registration tickets
- Shared branding
Useful when in-person registrants should also submit GPS activities online (hybrid event). Creation runs in the background — check the competition list when complete.
