### Scheduling a race
28 28
29
+One of the most important task in the life of a race officer is scheduling her races. Whenever you select a **unschedulded race** the race information screen asks you to select a racing procedure and a start time. By default a start time in the near future is selected.
30
+
31
+<img src="" title="Scheduling a race" />
32
+
33
+When you are satisfied with the start time selected (hint: click on 'Today' to select a different date) and racing procedure, click '**Start**'. As you will see below you are always able to reschedule a race. Therefore the best race officers schedule multiple races at once. After scheduling the first race of the day, just select the next race in the race list and set a estimated start time.
34
+
35
+On the same race information screen you are able to **postpone** an unschedulded race. Click on 'Postpone' and select the postponment flags.
36
+
29 37
#### Scheduling a race in the past
30 38
39
+It is perfectly fine to schedule a race into the past. The RaceCommittee App will simulate the race and its startphase up until the present time. When scheduling a race in the past it might happen that the app asks you for additional information regarding the startphase of the selected racing procedure (e.g. setting a startmode flag).
40

31 41
### Managing the startphase

-### Managing a on-going race
43
+Selecting a scheduled race will take you to the startphase race information screen. On this screen you are able to manage the startphase of the race's racing procedure. While the available actions vary between the racing procedures you always see the following:
44
+
45
+* Countdown to start
46
+* Countdown to next flag change
47
+* Currently displayed and removed flags
48
+
49
+<img src="" title="Startphase" />
50
+
51
+Regardless of the racing procedure you're able to **abort** (AP flag) and **reschedule** the race.
52
+
53
+### Managing an on-going race
54
+
55
+While a race is on-going the race information screen shows the running race information screen.
56
+
57
+You are still able to **abort** the race (AP or November flag) and signal a **general recall**. Both actions will unschedule the race, taking you back to the schedule race screen.
58
+
59
+<img src="" title="Running race" />
60
+
61
+If active for your configuration/regatta you are able to signal an **individual recall** (X-Ray flag). Currently there you're not able to enter the competitors violating the starting line. The X-Ray flag will be removed after 4 minutes automatically. You can always remove it before the timer terminates.
62
+
63
+When the race is about to finish (finishing vessel displays blue flag, first finisher crosses the line, last leg,...) click the blue flag to **start the finishing phase**.
34 64
35 65
### Finishing a race
36 66
67
+While a race is finishing the race information screen will show you the finishing phase.
68
+
69
+On this screen you're able to **abort** (November flag) the race or **end** the race. To end the race click on the blue flag.
