Time Trial - Combined

Each participant completes multiple runs. Valid times are added for the ranking; DNF, DSQ and missing times are ignored.

Use it when multiple runs should count. A fair comparison requires every participant to have the same number of valid runs included.

You can record multiple runs per participant. One valid time is enough; DNF, DSQ and missing times do not count for their run. Sums are not fairly comparable when participants have different numbers of valid runs: set the same attempt rules and verify equal valid-run counts before the event.

The total ranking is recalculated automatically after every locked run. A participant appears only once all scheduled runs are locked; open runs hold back only that participant.

It depends on the number of parallel lanes. The estimate for 4 participants assumes 3 recommended, configurable runs. At 15 minutes per run, pure running time is around 1 h 30 min on 2 lanes and about 45 min on 4 lanes – excluding start breaks.

Equal totals share a place; the next place follows competition ranking (for example, 1, 1, 3). A DNF, DSQ or run without a time does not disqualify a participant who has another valid run.

Fictional example with four participants and three runs each, independent of this page's size (all runs locked): Lena 0:31, 0:33, 0:30 = 1:34 (3 valid runs); Max 0:32, 0:30, 0:34 = 1:36 (3 valid runs); Sara 0:29, 0:31, no time = 1:00 (2 valid runs); Tim 0:28, DNF, DSQ = 0:28 (1 valid run). Sum ranking: Tim 0:28, Sara 1:00, Lena 1:34, Max 1:36. Tim leads with only one valid run; this position is not a fair comparison with Lena's and Max's three valid runs each. Lena and Max are directly comparable; Sara's two valid runs only partly. Set the same number of valid runs for everyone; open runs defer only the affected participant from the live leaderboard.
