How do I stop an event?

Before you start

• The event must be currently running

Do not press Restart to end an event

Restarting permanently deletes all data. There is no undo. Use Stop to preserve results.

Action	What it does	When to use
Stop	Ends the event. All data is kept.	The event is done. You want results.
Restart	Wipes everything and starts over. All data is destroyed.	You deliberately want a fresh start.

Steps

1. Go to the Events list.
2. Click the event name to open the event edit page.
3. Click the event’s action bar button to open the Live Control page (for a running event, this takes you directly to Live Control).
4. On the Live Control page, click the Stop button.
5. Review the confirmation showing:
   • Number of GPS positions recorded
   • Number of results recorded
   • Whether any background jobs are still processing
6. Click Stop to confirm.

Result

The event stops immediately. All data is preserved — results, photos, GPS tracks, and messages. You can now generate reports and export everything.

Note

You cannot edit challenges, teams, or routes while the event is running. Stopping the event unlocks editing. If you need to fix something during a live event, stop it, make the change, and start again (but be aware that starting clears results).
