Club and leaderboard

The leaderboard adds up each member kennel's kilometres; its public page is shared by link, no account needed.

• Total: outings and races, for the current year, the previous one or all-time.
• “Your kennel” (1): rank, kilometres, outings, gap to the kennel above.
• Table (2): a medal for the top three ranks, the number below.
• Kilometres or participations: “Ranked by Kilometres | Participations”. The leaderboard opens in kilometres; “Participations” shows, for each member kennel, how many of the club's past outings one of its runs is attached to, out of how many (“5 / 8”) — between members only, never on the public page (Leaderboard and public page).
• “Copy link” (3): the public page's address, open without an account. It shows the leaderboard, then the club's showcase: outings published by member kennels with a “Public profile”, shared moments, the date of upcoming group outings and how many kennels are going (never title or place), and an invitation to create a kennel.
• Search engines (4): off by default; the card “The club's public page” tells every member. The owner of the founding kennel can make it “Visible in search engines”: member kennels' names and kilometres become findable, and the page follows within a few minutes.
• Never indexed: the pages of published outings, moments and invitation links. A kennel that doesn't want to be findable can leave the club.

The owner of a member kennel proposes an outing to the whole club; each kennel answers in one click.

• Propose (1): title, departure date and time, meeting point, optional trail (one of yours is then shared with the club), notes. It appears at once for every kennel.
• Answer (2): “I'm coming”, “Maybe” or “No”, through each kennel's owner; with no answer: “You haven't answered yet.”
• Share (3): the link, to paste into the club's group chat; any member can, whatever their role. The device's share sheet opens, otherwise the link is copied (“Link copied”).
  • Outside the club it shows “Group outing”, the club's name, the day and how many kennels are going: never the title, time, place, notes or names. It can be forwarded.
  • A signed-in member opening the link lands on the outing itself, in the Outings tab of their club, and answers (upcoming outing).
  • It lets no one into the club: that takes the founder's invitation link.
• Cancel (4): whoever proposed it, or the founding kennel; the other kennels' answers go with it.

A trail stays private until its kennel shares it; members see its line, never its pace.

• Tab (1): name, kennel, distance, elevation gain when known, surface; each name leads to the trail's page, with its map. An imported GPX file's split times never leave your kennel.
• Share: the owner, from the trail's page (Traces, Trails tab): “Share with” the club or “Remove from” that club (see Traces and recaps). Offering it for an outing shares it too: the “Trail (optional)” menu offers the trails already shared, your own and the reference trails; picking one of yours shares it, as the line under the menu says.
• Leaving the club takes your trails with it; coming back doesn't share them again: sharing was a gesture, it is made again.
• Club leaderboard on a trail: its page carries the best measured time of each club kennel that agreed, scaled to the trail's distance (Times).
• “Show my times to the club” (2): an agreement for THIS club only, off by default, set by the owner (other roles read “On” or “Off”).
  • Only the time leaves, with the kennel's name, the outing's distance and its date: never the outing, its split times or its track.
  • The public leaderboard doesn't count as agreement; the agreement publishes nothing outside the club. Leaving the club clears it; coming back asks again.

The list shows who is in the club; only the founding kennel invites, revokes a code or removes a member.

• List: kennels sorted by name, with all-time kilometres, region when set, join date (“Member since …”) and a “Founder” badge (1) on the kennel that created the club.
• Generate a code (2): valid for 14 days, reusable; “Revoke code” cancels it.
• Each code (3) has its link (“Copy invitation link”); “Copy code” gives the code alone, to enter in “Join with a code”.
  • The link shows the club's name, its number of kennels and what joining means, even to a musher without Mushmate. Without an account it leads to signing up, then to creating a kennel, coming back to the link each time.
  • Only the kennel's owner confirms joining, in one click. Expired or revoked, it only says “This link is no longer valid”.
  • It is also how a kennel already in a club joins a second one: “Join with a code” only appears for a kennel with no entry at all (on the phone, also behind “Join a club”, at the bottom of the blocks of a kennel that has a club).
• Remove (4) a kennel also revokes every active code.
• Leave: any member kennel can, through its owner (“Leave the club”); the founding kennel has no button to remove itself from this screen. The kennel drops off the leaderboard, and its answers to club outings are no longer shown; its outings stay.

An event is a race that MushMate creates; you enrol with its partner's code, and it shows up as a dated club.

• Enrolling: the code of the race's partner, typed like any partner code (Using a partner code). It opens three months before the race and enrols the kennel; the offered access, if there is one, runs until the last day of the race. An event with no partner has no code: it shows (on the public calendar too), nobody enrols.
• The public calendar: every event, with or without a partner, is also on the public /evenements page (no account) and under Manage › Organization › Events on the phone: search, filters, a map, and for each class of a race its registration dates written out, with “to be confirmed” when they have not been checked. “Enrolled” means the same thing there and here: your kennel typed the event's code (the “Enrolled” chip is the same on the site's calendar, once you are signed in, and on the Club screen). “I've entered with the organiser” is a different box, which you tick yourself, as the owner, once you have entered on the organiser's own site. MushMate never enters you with the organiser and does not check it. Step by step: Finding a race.
• The event page: at the top, “Event · Mar 13–15, 2027”, its place (place, region, country), who organises it and, if different, the partner who proposes it, its state (“Upcoming”, “Under way”, “Over”, “Cancelled”) and, for your kennel, “Enrolled” and, while it runs, “Access offered until …”. Four sections: Programme (the races, at the place's local time, never your device's), Trails (each race's trace), Participation (the participation league: for each entrant, how many past races one of its runs is attached to, out of how many; frozen once the race is over), Entrants (the enrolled kennels). The page opens on the Programme. A cancelled event stays readable.
• “Add to my Plan”: on a race that has its course in the catalogue, opens the objective form pre-filled (the course, its date); nothing is created before you confirm. Once the objective exists, “In your Plan” replaces it (here, on the race's exact day; on the public calendar, “In your Plan” is said as soon as an objective on that race falls within the edition's dates).
• “Leave the event” (on your kennel's row, under Entrants): the owner can, even read-only. The programme and the trails disappear; the offered access does not stop, and typing the code again re-enrols you, with no new offer.
• What others see: enrolled kennels see each other, as in a club, and their number of participations in the league — never a time or a dog; the partner reads only numbers (the participation total among them), the public no entrant.
• What it does not do: no enrolment without a code; an entrant writes neither the programme nor the trails (MushMate enters them); no times leaderboard and no “Show my times” agreement in an event; no live position. An event's trail is not a reference trail: it is neither listed for every musher nor downloaded on every phone, entrants read it under Trails.

A kennel switch in Settings enrols your kennel on a public page, outside any club: /classement.

• Where to turn it on (1): Settings › My kennel › Visibility & sharing. A KENNEL setting: every member sees the same state, only the owner changes it.
• What it publishes: the kennel's name and kilometres on /classement; your best measured time on each public or reference trail, in its public leaderboard (a club's is set separately, club by club); your dogs' race record, visible to other kennels whenever one of yours is declared the parent of a puppy in a different kennel. Dogs, plans and logbooks stay private.
• The page /classement: no account needed, by cumulative kilometres (outings and races), current year, previous year or all-time. Not a club's leaderboard: joining a club already counts as consent to ITS leaderboard, independently of this setting.
• Getting there: “Public leaderboard →” under the switch (2), or from both states of the Club page (with or without a club); the page links back to the setting.
• Your rank: the “Your kennel” card shows rank, the medal for the last distance tier crossed and its date. Without enrolment it invites you to turn the setting on; enrolled but missing for the period (no outing, or too recent an opt-in), it says so without concluding you're no longer enrolled.
• A visitor without an account reads, at the bottom, an invitation to create a kennel; signed in, you don't see it.

The phone has the website's four tabs and the same rights, but the Club screen is read online only.

• Where: the “Club” line in Manage, under Organization (just below it, “Events” opens the public calendar, online only). A single entry, a club or an event: the screen opens it straight away; otherwise, “Your clubs” and “Your events”, from which you open one or the other — on Android, “I have a code”, at the top, opens partner-code entry. With no entry at all, the owner joins with its code or founds one.
• Rights: the website's (every role reads; owner and founding kennel as above). Any member shares an outing, or “Share the club's page”.
• Kilometres or participations: on the Leaderboard tab, a “Kilometres | Participations” selector above the years; an event's page has its “Participation” tab.
• Online: without a network the screen says so (“Offline: the club loads online.”) and shows nothing stale; a gesture tried offline is refused at once (“Offline: this needs the network.”).
• Except to head out: your clubs' trails and their outings of the next two weeks are kept on the phone and refreshed regularly (at most every 30 minutes, and when you refresh), track only. On an outing day, the home screen (if your kennel answered “I'm coming”) and the start offer it without network, and the review says it counted, or offers to attach it — Recording a run.
• Second club: when the screen sorts several entries including a club, “Join a club”, at the bottom, opens “Join with a code” and “Found a club”; with a single club, opened straight away, through the invitation link — in the app when it is installed and up to date (“Join a club”, the code filled in), otherwise in the browser. The club's public page and a shared outing's page stay website pages.
• Public leaderboard: no screen of its own. “Public leaderboard →”, under the club's leaderboard, on the Club screen of a kennel with none, and in Manage › Kennel under the switch of the same name, opens the website page inside the app, online only.
