A practice is a timing-only session your team runs for itself. No registration, no pricing, nothing public — but it uses the full Time2Bike timing stack, so a Tuesday interval session is timed exactly the way a race is. Open the Practices tab. You’ll see it if you’re a coach, manager, team admin, or owner.

Your entire active roster is entered into every practice automatically. You never enter anyone.

Creating a practice

1

!!-IMAGE-NEEDED-!! — The New practice modal with two activities added.

A practice holds one or more activities, and each activity is timed separately. Pick from:Endurance and short track let you set a target lap count — leave it blank for an open-ended ride.
4

Create it

The practice appears on the calendar.

​
Two activities at once

This is the point of activities. Each one gets its own clock, so a time trial, an endurance lap ride, and a dual-slalom bracket can run at the same time under one practice — each on a different phone, with a different coach, and nobody has to coordinate. The operator screen picks the right surface per activity automatically.

​
Timing a practice

Every practice row has a Time it button that drops you straight onto the operator screen. The practice happening today — or the next one, or the most recent — is pulled out into a loud card at the top of the page, because on a phone at the trailhead that should be the only thing you need to hit. From there, everything in the Live Timing documentation applies: recording finishes, fixing mistakes, offline capture, and so on.
Drop-ins who aren’t on the roster can be added at the timer. You don’t have to fix the roster first.

Calendar and list views

  • Calendar — the month, with practice days highlighted. Tap a day to see what’s on it. Opens on the month that actually has something in it.
  • List — grouped by month, newest first.

​
Seasons

Create a season (Fall 2026) and tag practices to it. Then filter the practice list, and the clipboard, to one season at a time. Seasons are created from the Results tab — New season.

​
Re-syncing the roster

The refresh icon on a practice row re-enters your current roster. Use it when athletes joined the team after you created the practice — they won’t be in it otherwise.

​
What’s happening behind the scenes

Worth knowing, because it explains a few things you’ll see:
  • A practice is an ordinary event marked as a practice, hidden from every public surface. That’s why it inherits the whole timing stack unchanged.
  • If your team isn’t attached to an organization, Time2Bike quietly provisions a hidden one to own your practices. You never see it, it has no Stripe account, and nothing under it can be paid for.
  • Your coaches and managers are mirrored into that hidden org with the minimum permission needed to run the operator screen. Athletes aren’t — they’re the people being timed.
