Add participant manually

Besides importing them from a file, you can add participants one by one from the Participants screen; for example, on race day, for last-minute registrations.

How to add a participant

1. In Participants, click the New participant icon (user with “+”) in the sidebar on the right. The New participant panel opens.
2. At the top, choose the participant’s event in the selector. By default, the event selected in the table is shown.
3. Fill in the participant’s data, among others:
   • Bib.
   • Tag: if the race has tag sequencing, it is assigned automatically from the bib (Automatic tag assignment option). Clear the option to type it manually.
   • Name and Surname.
   • Date of Birth and Gender.
   • Category: it can be calculated automatically from gender and date of birth (Automatic category assignment option). Clear it to choose one from the list.
   • Start Time Mode and, with the Wave mode, the Wave.
   • Team type, club, Featured, event attributes and other data.

   Check the gender and the start time mode: they are filled in by default. For more information, see Start time mode.

4. If the event has stages, a block for each stage appears below the form with the data specific to that stage (for example, the wave).
5. Click Save. The button is enabled once you have entered some data; after saving, the panel closes and a confirmation message appears.

The participant is added to the participant list. To change the data later, see Editing participants. To add many participants at once, see Importing participants.

Generally, on the day of the race we will add participants who have signed up at the last minute. Luckily, in Copernico you can do so from the Participants section, and then here on the right sidebar we can add a new participant manually [the New participant icon].

First, select the event for which the participant will be participating, and you need a bib number. As for the tag, you can add it manually or, at the bottom, you can select autofill [in the current interface, the Automatic tag assignment option]. Autofill is based on the tag sequencing that you’ve previously configured on this menu.

Next, the required information is name, last name, date of birth (the date of birth helps calculate the category, if you have set them up already) and gender. Then the other information depends on your race logistics, so I’m going to pick a club name. In this situation a wave is mandatory, but then down here you have local attributes or categories, depending on your logistics.

With this information it’s sufficient to add the participant. I’m going to select autofill [in the current interface, the Automatic tag assignment option] and you see that I have the tag number. Now I click Save, and the participant was added to the end of my list.
