Webscorer has always supported a 3rd gender which has traditionally been used in team events for mixed Female / Male entries. This 3rd gender can now be customized to identify racers who prefer selecting a non-binary gender for participating in an event.
REGISTRATIONS
In registration setup, you’d turn on the 3rd gender and then type in the 3rd gender labels that are appropriate for your event. The label can be in your local language.
Note that both the long and short forms of the 3rd gender must be specified as some race pages use the short form due to limited space, whereas other pages including the Webscorer app use the long form.
CREATE START LIST VIA FILE UPLOAD
When posting start lists via file upload, you’d follow these steps:
1. On the upload file, use Gender = NB for non-binary entries
- You can also use your own label such as X (or your local language 3rd gender label)
- The upload tool will consider a gender label other than M or F as the 3rd gender
2. When you post the start list via file upload, the 3rd gender option shows up
- If you're using NB, the long form is automatically entered
- If you're using your own 3rd gender label, you must then specify the long form
3. You can edit the labels after posting by clicking on the “Edit race info” menu button
CREATE START LIST ON THE APP
Starting with version 6.8, the Webscorer app will use the 3rd gender labels from any posted start list or registration list and display these labels on all app's panels where gender is specified or shown.
If you create the start list on the app, you can customize the 3rd gender on the app's Racer Setup panel. Default 3rd gender labels are Female/Male & F/M, typically used in mixed-gender team events.
RESULTS
If the 3rd gender was customized as part of the registration or the start list, there's nothing extra to specify for the results to show the 3rd gender. If you need to edit the 3rd gender labels after posting the results, you can do so as follows:
1. Navigate to the results page
2. Make sure you’re signed in as the organizer
3. Click on the “Edit race info” menu button
4. Edit the 3rd gender labels & click "Save changes"
