Can a section be left out of the overall results?
Updated
Yes. In the section settings, uncheck “Count section results towards the overall
event results”.
This is how you add a route that is genuinely optional - a return leg, a bonus loop, a shakedown - without it distorting the classification.
The same setting can be switched off for one class only, so a section can count towards the overall for one class and not for another - see per-class overrides.

- Competitors who ride it still get a section result and a section ranking.
- The time does not affect the overall standings.
- Competitors who skip it are not disadvantaged, because it is not counted for anyone.
