Race Control builds the grids, the schedule, and the results for a club race weekend. This page explains who signs in and what each person can do.
What Race Control does for your club
Race Control holds your riders, your classes, your tracks, and your race calendar. During an event it reads timing data, orders each grid from that data, and publishes the grids and the schedule to pages anyone can open.
The printed grid is the artifact the product exists to produce. Race Control has no separate export step and creates no PDF files. You print a grid from your browser, and the printed page is the one that goes on the board.
Who signs in
Only club staff sign in. Riders never have accounts, and they never need one. Everything a rider reads lives on a public pageA page anyone can open without signing in. Public pages carry the schedule, the published grids, and the results. that needs no sign-in.
There is no self-registration. A system administrator creates every account, so a new registrar or scorer needs one person to add them.
Two layers of permission
Your access comes from two separate things.
Your system role decides whether you administer Race Control itself. A system administrator creates accounts and organizations. Almost nobody needs this.
Your organization membership decides which club you work for and what you can change inside it. Most staff have one membership and no system role.
An account with no membership sees nothing, even with a correct password. If you sign in and the workspace is empty, ask for a membership. A second account will not help.
Work in the correct organization
If you belong to more than one organization, select the organization name in the header. Then select the organization that you want to open.
Race Control remembers this choice when you reload or open the console in another tab in the same browser. Tabs already open keep their current organization. If you lose access to that organization, Race Control opens the first one you can access.
Find your way around
On a computer, the left navigation lists the pages in your workspace. Use the collapse control or press [ to hide or show it. Race Control remembers this choice for your account in the current tab. The shortcut stays inactive while you type in a field.
On a phone, open the navigation with the menu button beside the product name. The organization and account controls sit at the bottom. When you choose a page, the menu closes. You can also close it with its close button, the shaded area outside it, or Escape on a keyboard.
Set up in this order
Each step depends on the one above it, so an early gap surfaces late and costs more to fix.

Tracks and classes covers the first three steps. Seasons and events covers the rest.
Where to change your club details
Open Setup → Settings to change your club name, your logo, and whether your pages are visible to the public. Your club keeps two names: a short name such as WMRRA, and a full name such as Washington Motorcycle Road Racing Association. The console shows the short name everywhere, and the public pages use the full name where there is room for it.
Choose Time Display there to show your club's schedules and other clock times in 24-hour or 12-hour form. New clubs start with 24-hour time. When you change this display, each session keeps its saved start time.
