How to Create Multi-Workout Events

Group several sub-events under one parent event. Athletes complete all sub-events within the same heat, and points from each sub-event contribute to the overall leaderboard.

Common examples:

• Rowing Triathlon — 2K Row, 500m Sprint, Max Cal Row
• Snatch Ladder + Lifting — Timed snatch ladder, then a three-lift total
• Sprint Series — A fast couplet followed by a max effort deadlift

Prerequisites

• Competition created with at least one division
• Familiarity with adding standalone events

Create the parent event

1. Open your competition from ORGANIZE
2. Click Events in the sidebar
3. Click Add Event and select Create New
4. Give the parent event a name that describes the overall challenge (e.g., "Rowing Triathlon")
5. Add a description explaining what athletes will face across all sub-events
6. Save the event

The scoring scheme on the parent doesn't matter — scoring is configured per sub-event.

Add sub-events

1. On the events list, find your parent event and click the + Sub-Event button
2. Create or select the workout for the first sub-event
3. Configure its scoring scheme, score type, and tiebreaker independently
4. Repeat for each sub-event under this parent

Sub-events appear indented beneath their parent in the events list. Each sub-event has its own:

• Scoring scheme (for time, max reps, max load, etc.)
• Score type (min, max, sum, average)
• Tiebreaker rules
• Points multiplier
• Division-specific scaling descriptions

Configure points multipliers

By default, every sub-event is worth 1x points (multiplier = 100). To weight a sub-event differently:

1. Click the edit icon on the sub-event row
2. Set the Points Multiplier — e.g., 200 for 2x points on a finals-style lift
3. Save

Athletes earn separate placement points for each sub-event. The leaderboard aggregates points across all sub-events of a parent.

Schedule heats

Heats are scheduled on the parent event, not on individual sub-events. Athletes complete all sub-events within their assigned heat.

1. Go to the Schedule tab
2. Find the parent event in the event list (sub-events are not shown here)
3. Create heats and assign athletes to lanes as you would for a standalone event
4. Each heat covers the full parent event — athletes move through all sub-events in sequence

For detailed heat scheduling steps, see How to Schedule Heats.

Enter results

Results are entered per sub-event, but athletes are grouped by the parent event's heats.

1. Go to the Results tab
2. Select the parent event from the dropdown
3. You'll see tabs for each sub-event
4. Switch between sub-event tabs to enter scores — each tab shows the same athletes (from the parent's heats) with the sub-event's scoring scheme
5. The leaderboard automatically aggregates points across all sub-events

For detailed score entry steps, see How to Run Event Day.

Edit a parent event

1. Click the edit icon on the parent event row in the events list
2. The edit page shows the Parent Event Settings card at the top and tabbed sub-events below
3. Switch between sub-event tabs to edit each one — the Save Changes button saves whichever tab is active
4. To edit the parent name or description, scroll to the Parent Event Settings card

Reorder sub-events

Drag sub-events within their parent group to reorder them. The order determines how they appear in the results tabs and on the athlete-facing leaderboard.

Sub-events cannot be dragged outside their parent group or reordered across parent boundaries.

Remove a sub-event or parent

• Removing a sub-event deletes it and reorders the remaining siblings automatically
• Removing a parent event deletes the parent and all its sub-events

Limitations

• Sub-events can only be one level deep — you cannot nest a sub-event under another sub-event
• A sub-event must belong to a parent within the same competition
• Parent events do not have scores of their own — only sub-events are scored
