# Backyard
A Backyard event, or sometimes called "Last Man Standing", consists of a circuit to be repeated as many times as possible within a set time limit.
At the end of each lap, only competitors who have finished within the time limit are allowed to start the next loop.
## Settings
In Wiclax this type of event is managed like a lap race, which will have the particularity of having a start time for each lap.
If you did not select the Backyard event type when creating the event, the setting can be found here:
{% hint style="info" %}
The *unlimited number of laps* option is the most suitable in this case.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
Note the additional option regarding the final time of the competitors, which can be the time of the last lap or the cumulative laps. It is this time which determines the final classification, to decide between competitors who have completed the same number of laps.
{% endhint %}
## Starts management
The event list of starts must contain one line for each round (lap):
The lines are normally pre-positioned, and you just have to fill in the times.
{% hint style="info" %}
If multiple races are managed in the same file and with separate starts, the start lines will need to be duplicated. For example 2 lines for round 1, each with a filter associated with its respective race.
{% endhint %}
## Results management
Wiclax does not automatically eliminate out-of-time competitors. You must therefore manually mark them as DNF, or more simply ensure that their chip is removed to prevent them from accidentally crossing the finish line again.
## Printout
When printing the results, remember to ask for the summary lap columns to be printed, in order to obtain a complete summary of the race.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.wiclax.com/en/all-competition-types/backyard.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
