Overview & Key Concepts
How GldComp is structured — series, seasons, classes, and the people who use it.
GldComp hosts a public website for every competition, plus a private admin area for the organizing team. Before diving into the individual screens, it helps to understand a few core concepts.
Series, seasons and classes
GldComp organizes everything into three levels:
- Series — the long-running event brand (for example, Tcup). Each series has its own subdomain, e.g.
tcup.gldcomp.com. - Season — one edition of the series, usually a year (e.g. Tcup 2024). A season has its own dates, location, registration window, competitors, tasks and results. Seasons are reached at
…/s/<year>. - Class — a competition class within a season (e.g. Club, Standard, Open). Competitors, tasks, results and glider handicaps are all organized per class.
Who uses GldComp
| Audience | What they do | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Pilots & visitors | Register, view competitors, follow tasks/results, read news, upload IGC flights, watch live tracking | The public season website |
| Organizers | Full control of a season — competitors, classes, files, results sync, theme, email | The season admin area |
| Reporters | Publish news and announcements only | The season admin area (limited) |
| Series admins | Create new seasons and manage who has access | The series admin area |
Roles at a glance
GldComp uses role-based access so you can safely share the workload:
- Organizer — access to every admin tool for a season.
- Reporter — restricted to news/announcements for a season.
- Admin (series level) — can create seasons and assign roles across the whole series.
Roles are scoped: an Organizer or Reporter is tied to a specific season, while a series Admin spans all seasons in the series. See Series, Seasons & Team for how to invite people and assign roles.
Signing in
GldComp is passwordless. Pilots receive a one-time magic link by email; organizers use the same link-based sign-in and can register a passkey (Face ID / Touch ID / security key) for fast, secure future logins. There are no passwords to remember or leak.
