Questions PE leads ask
- Can I add up the times instead of giving points?
- Yes. In Setup’s Play step, open More options. Under How do rounds add up, choose Add them up. Then the house with the lowest total time wins.
- What if two houses get the same time?
- They share the place, and both get its points. If two houses end the day on the same points, their best races are compared to split them. If that can’t, you choose the order, or let chance decide.
- Who can see the scores?
- Anyone you give the link to. On the Stage, open More and choose Share link. They see first names, houses and points, and nobody can chat.
- Can I keep the results?
- Yes. On the Stage, open More and choose Download a spreadsheet. It has every house’s times and points, ready for the newsletter.
- Only need the houses, with no scores?
- Paste the names into the team generator. It splits them into random teams in seconds, with no sign-up.
