Linked races in copernico

Race creation and linking between copernico and Sportmaniacs

The process of creating and linking races between copernico and Sportmaniacs is straightforward ✅, but it is important to understand how the different environments work and what race linking implies.

Basic principle

Regardless of whether the race is created in copernico or Sportmaniacs, you must always check first if the race already exists.

Race environments

A single race can exist in one or more of the following environments:

• cloud
• kiosk
• commentator
• copernico-live
• copernico
• sportmaniacs
• rankings

Example: race created in all environments
