Set up my waves and heats
Updated: May 2026
Prepping waves is often the most time-consuming task of a competition. It all happens in the Planning tab of your space. Depending on your competition's discipline, you build either waves and lanes (functional fitness), or days broken into waves and slots (hybrid races). Here is how to go about it.
Generate your waves in one click
You do not have to place athletes one by one. Auto-generation builds your schedule from your roster, with several settings:
- by division, so you only mix what should be mixed
- sort by rank to seed waves according to the standings
- pyramid order to spread out levels
- top-N cut to keep only the best for a round
- filter on checked-in athletes, so you only schedule those who have arrived
Waves and lanes (functional fitness)
Each wave is split into lanes. You assign one athlete and one judge per lane. Timing chains automatically for every wave: briefing, then warm-up, then WOD. You keep control to adjust the times if your day runs late.
Days, waves and slots (hybrid races)
For a hybrid competition, the schedule is organized into days, then waves, then slots. You set the running order of divisions by drag and drop, then assign the team and the timing device for each slot. That is what lets times come in automatically on the day.
Reorder and adjust
Nothing is locked. You reorganize your waves and running order by drag and drop, at any time, right up to the day. Handy when an athlete drops out or a division fills up after check-in.
Export the schedule for your staff
Once your schedule is ready, you export it to Excel: a colored, readable grid to print or share with the staff on the floor. Everyone knows which wave goes when, and on which lane. To broadcast results during the competition, see also how to display the leaderboard on a big screen.
