Self-paced formats

Challenges without one start time

Run self-paced or rolling-start challenges where participants begin at different times and still share one ranking context.

Challenges often happen over windows rather than at one start line. MapCatch can keep attempts, tracks, and rankings understandable across that wider event rhythm.

What matters

Designed around this event shape

Rolling starts

Support participants who begin at different times while still comparing progress and completion.

Attempt evidence

Use uploaded tracks, live positions, and organiser corrections to complete the participant record.

Clear public context

Let followers understand who is active, finished, delayed, or waiting for validation.

Why MapCatch

Why MapCatch is different here

A challenge does not need one start gun. MapCatch can give each participant the route, attempt context, and event messages through the app while comparing attempts in one public event.

Rolling reveal is possible: the next segment, checkpoint, or task can depend on time, location, or completion state instead of being fully exposed from the start.

Live tracking, uploads, proof, and organiser corrections can all contribute to the same attempt record, which matters when challenges run over days or weeks.
