1 year ago It's really about what scenarios this is trying to support.
I think the most basic change would be to just not "Rank" anyone with this flag, so they'd still show up on the activity log (without a time?) and their athlete page could show their total runs, etc. We'd still want those runs to count towards the total runs/miles in statistics, and theoretically could also count towards top team miles, too.
On the other extreme is like you're talking about: show nothing except that they're a participant and that they completed all courses. I think anything we don't show can't be counted towards teams/totals, as someone "auditing" the data wouldn't be able to reconcile what they're seeing with what the app is saying.

As someone who's really shy and slow, I want to be able to participate in the Challenge without anyone seeing what I'm running.
As the race director, I want to enable such people to participate. To that end, I've added a question whose YES/NO answer will come through in a field called Info2. It currently reads:
My current thinking is that these people would appear in the list of participants and, if they completed all 10 courses, the completion list. However, their runs wouldn't show up in the activity log overall or for any course. Nor would they appear in the leaderboard lists for any competition.
What I can't quite decide about is the Athlete page. Since we have no logins, it's public, but if we don't show it, then they have no way of checking what they've done. My sense for now is to show it. Perhaps the page could be grayed-out by default, with a CSS button that would read "I am Joe Schmoe" and clicking it would display everything. That way it's there, but other people wouldn't likely look much.
Thoughts welcome!
