Up next	Priority	Status
Annual public dataset release — updated PII-safe Zenodo export each year	High	Planned
Cross country roster registration — shared entry-limit schema with track already (grades, one counting race, exclusive events, scratch / gender-first); meet-form registration fields stay hidden until XC live registration turns on. Race formats ready: most meets are one men’s + one women’s race at a stated distance; default one counting race per athlete (host can untoggle); open/exhibition races can be marked not to count (championship + open OK); optional prior-season XC result requirement with overrides; multi-race nationals-style cards. No Automark for XC; live registration toggle stays off for now	Medium	Planned
NRCD Live deeper timing — native FinishLynx scoreboard TCP / `.lss`, write live marks into permanent `Result` rows; v1 (LIF/agent, scoreboard mode, bibs, event maps) is shipped	Medium	Planned
Health stats — personal performance tracking, improvement trends, and training insights for logged-in athletes	Medium	Planned
