RaceDay Event Software is the leader in Event Management. RaceDay was programed to work like an umbrella, the top layer is the Event, then Stages and Categories . You can only have one event but you can have as many stages as the event requires. Each  stage can have as many categories as required. If you are ding an omnium or a stage race you must have the same category names so that points or time will carry thru each stage.

This is the wizard that will build RaceDay Event Software. The initialization wizard will walk you through building the Event and the first stage. This will also add the categories that are in the csv import file as well as the athletes that are in the file.

1. The csv file must be formatted correctly.
2. The file imported can then be matched to the RaceDay columns.

When you set up RaceDay Event Software think of it as built in tiers, each area covers another area. Event Management is the top tier of the software. For each event you need to build the Event Details, theses details can be the same as Stage Details or different. (Note when you use the Initialization wizard this information will be fill in as well. You can edit or add to this at any time by double clicking on the line in the edit field below.
