I don't understand Races search

To prevent incomplete and incorrect entries in the database from being displayed to the general public.

We get a fair amount of incorrect information entered into the Race Nexus. So much so, that before we added a step to validate the data before making entries public-facing, the amount of email we'd receive to correct even minor points was overwhelming. A wiki model of anyone being able to edit the information didn't help. We'd still get the email.

right, ok, so- I searched for, and didn't find a Race-- so I added it. Do I then need to go back and search for it at some point (when?) in order to add it to my log/race schedule? How are we to know when a race is validated?  It just so happens I think I might want to race again, and I am jonesin' to see it up there on my blog!

thx, mikey-poo.

We're working on a solution for this.  It appears since more people are using the public 'races' button to find races that it is bypassing the other way to add a race that prevents duplication.

Technically if you use the little race icon in your log or go to your race log then 'add race' it works as it should and you will be able to add races that have already entered and have other race reports attached.
