Create a series

A series fans out a recurring pattern into independent event rows. Each row stands alone after creation — you can edit any one without affecting the others, or bulk-edit a range later from the events list.

When to use

• “Every Tuesday and Thursday, 5–7pm, for 8 weeks.”
• “Saturday races every weekend in January and February.”
• A multi-day race: NorAm, December 14–17. Set the range, tap Every day, then edit the individual days for the disciplines.
• Anything you’d otherwise create one at a time more than 3-4 times.

Step by step

1. From the top nav, + New ▾ → Series (or + New series on the events page and in the mobile More sheet).
2. Set the start date. The end date follows it automatically — change it if the season runs longer.
3. Pick the days of the week the event recurs on. Above the seven boxes, Every day / Weekends / Mon–Fri / Clear set them in one tap — a four-day race series is “Every day” plus the two dates, not seven ticks. They are a shortcut, not a mode: tick and untick individual days afterwards as usual.
4. Pick the start time and end time for each session — or tick All day and skip them. Races and No Training days arrive with All day already ticked.
5. (Optional) set the Timezone. It defaults to the club’s own zone; change it for a block of sessions that isn’t in Mountain time.
6. Fill in event details: type, groups, venue, location, discipline, and for a race series the category, gender, races-that-day and registration link. These apply to every event in the series, so you set them once rather than editing each race afterwards. Equipment is one item per line.
7. (Optional) Skip dates — the form lists every date the pattern produces under Included dates (N of M). Untick the ones to exclude (school holidays, etc.).
8. The form runs in the same order as the single-event form — type, discipline, race details, groups, then when, then where, then the extras — so nothing has to be re-found when you move between the two.
9. There is no per-date time override — every event in the series gets the same start and end time. Create the odd one out separately.
10. Tap Create series at the bottom. The count of what you’ll get is in the Included dates (N of M) heading above.

One tap is enough

The button disables itself while it works. If it seems slow, wait — don’t tap again. A double-tap once produced 117 events where 39 belonged. (The server also refuses an identical series submitted twice within five minutes, so a second tap is caught either way.)

Anything you can set on one event, you can set on a series

That wasn’t always true — the RSVP deadline, and later the race fields, were missing here and had to be added to each event afterwards. A test now compares the two forms and fails the build if one gains a field the other doesn’t, so they can’t drift apart again.

After creation

Series-created events are normal events. They each have their own ical UID and audit history. The only difference from a manually-created event is that they share a series_id, which lets the bulk-edit tool group them together later.

I want to change just one of them

Edit it like any other event from /coach/events. Series doesn’t lock its members.

I want to change all of them

Use bulk-edit — see Bulk-edit a range.
