A club federates several kennels
A club brings independent kennels together around a shared leaderboard: each kennel keeps its dogs, plans and logbooks to itself — only its name and cumulative kilometres are shared with the club's other members. Joining or founding a club, from the "Club" menu, is owner-only; every other role just sees a reminder of that rule.
While your kennel isn't a member of any club, the page opens on two forms: "Join with a code" — the
founding kennel sends it to you, valid for 14 days and reusable by several kennels — or "Found a
club", with a name and an optional public address (derived from the name otherwise, shaped
/club/…). The kennel that founds becomes the club's founder: only it will issue invitation codes
and be able to remove a member later. Joining a club IS consent, and the form says so before you
submit: your kennel's name and cumulative distances become visible to anyone with the club's link.
Four tabs, once you're a member
Once your kennel is a member, the page opens on a sidebar with four tabs — Leaderboard, Outings, Trails, Members. If your kennel belongs to several clubs, a second list under the tabs lets you switch between them.
Leaderboard: the club's total
The cumulative kilometres logged (outings and races) by each member kennel, for the current year, the previous year, or all-time. A "Your kennel" card shows your rank, your distance, your outing count and the gap to the kennel just above you. The top three ranks carry a medal; below that, only the number shows. A "Copy link" button gives the club's public address — reachable without an account, not indexed by search engines, and identical to what you see here.
Outings: propose, answer
Only the owner of a member kennel proposes a club outing — title, departure date and time, meeting point, an existing trail as an option, free-text notes. It immediately appears for every kennel in the club; each one answers, through its own owner, in one click (I'm coming, Maybe, No), and a kennel that hasn't answered yet is reminded of it on its own card. Cancelling an outing is reserved to whoever proposed it or to the founding kennel, and erases the other kennels' answers with it.
Trails: the member kennels' tracks
This tab lists the trails already recorded by the club's kennels — name, owning kennel, distance, elevation gain when known, and surface type. It opens no new access: any signed-in account already reads every trail elsewhere in the product (Chronos); this tab just filters them down to the club's, with the name of the kennel that recorded each one — something a direct read of kennels doesn't give you between two separate kennels.
Members: who's in the club
The list of member kennels, sorted by name, with each one's all-time distance, its region when set, the date it joined, and a "Founder" badge on the kennel that created the club. Only the founder generates an invitation code — valid for 14 days, reusable — and can revoke it, or remove another member kennel. Any member kennel can leave the club on its own; the founding kennel, though, has no button to remove itself from this screen. Leaving takes your kennel off the club's leaderboard; your outings stay yours.
The public leaderboard: a separate page, outside any club
/classement is a separate public page, reachable without an account: it ranks every kennel that
has turned on "Public leaderboard" in Settings — in a club or not — by cumulative kilometres
(outings and races), for the current year, the previous year, or all-time. It isn't the same thing
as a club's own leaderboard: joining a club already counts as consent to THAT leaderboard,
independently of this setting. A "Public leaderboard →" link leads there from both states of the
Club page (with or without a club) and from Chronos; the page itself links back to the setting that
feeds it.
Turning on "Public leaderboard" in Settings
The setting lives in Settings, "My kennel" tab, "Visibility & sharing" block. It's a KENNEL setting,
not a personal one: every member of the kennel sees the same state. Turning it on publishes three
things at once: your kennel's name and cumulative kilometres on /classement; your route times,
compared against other kennels' in Chronos; and your dogs' race record, visible to other kennels
whenever one of yours is declared the parent of a puppy in a different kennel. Your dogs, plans and
logbooks stay private either way — only these three things change.
Once enrolled, /classement shows your rank in a "Your kennel" card, with the medal for the last
distance tier you crossed and its date. Without enrolment, the same card invites you to turn it on;
enrolled but missing from the table for the period shown — no outing logged in that period, or too
recent an opt-in for it to be counted yet — it says so without concluding you're no longer enrolled.
On mobile
Neither the club nor the public leaderboard has a screen on the phone today: joining or founding a club, checking a leaderboard, proposing or answering a club outing — all of that happens on the web.
