4. Enhanced Virtual Results
4
❖ We’ve updated our Dashboard screens for the Enhanced Virtual Results setup making it easier for
you to let Participants submit their own results for Virtual Races.

5. Enhanced Virtual Race Landing Page
Updates
5
❖ On the Enhanced Virtual Race setup screen it is now
much easier to see what you can do with the Virtual
Events you have setup for your Race.
❖ You have the option to request enhanced features for
any Virtual Events you have set up.
❖ You can also edit the settings for any existing Virtual
Events that have been enhanced.
❖ On this screen you will also be able to easily determine
which Events are enhanced and of those, which have
the additional TXT features enabled.

6. Adding and editing Enhanced Virtual
Race Settings for an Event.
6
❖ We’ve converted the Enhanced Features setup screen
to a full-screen view. This allows you to focus on
what’s important in this setup and reduces the
clutter of the rest of the dashboard while you’re
working on this.
❖ There are now some points at the top of the page that
give some clear instructions on the approval process
and bib number assignment.
❖ We have decided to remove the $1 additional
processing fee for Virtual TXT features! 🎉🎉🎉

7. What’s next for the Dashboard?
7
❖ We’re working on making it even easier to set up Enhanced Virtual Events in a few ways.
○ Pre-filling in the TXT Message Keyword based on the Race Name
○ Pre-selecting and automatically naming the Result Set based on the Event Name.
○ Suggesting Result Submission Start and “Until” dates.
○ Giving you a preview of the messages that will go out.

9. Improving Results Submission
9
We are currently working on improving the experience for users when submitting results in a couple of
ways.
❖ Allowing RaceJoy users to submit their results directly from within the app. - Will be available in an
update by Tuesday 4/21.
❖ Updating the setup for Enhanced Virtual Races to allow participants in “linked” Events to submit their
results to multiple Enhanced Virtual Events. For example if you have “bundle” type Events that need to
submit results to multiple Events from one registration.

10. What’s next?
10
We have a lot of great ideas about how to make the Virtual Race experience
better! There are a few projects that are on deck for us.
❖ Allow users to submit photos along with their times.
❖ Teams and Splits support.
❖ Total distance based results support.
❖ Submit GPS track for results.
❖ Third Party integrations for result submission.
