OpenTrack Docs¶
Welcome to OpenTrack's documentation. OpenTrack is always developing and evolving, and we are constantly adding to this documentation.
Competition Quick Start Guide¶
- Start by creating your competition on OpenTrack and adding all your competition details.
- Next, create your timetable and configure your events grid.
- Now you've defined your events, you will want to configure entries, choosing when they open and close, who can enter, and how much everyone will pay.
- Once entries are open there isn't too much to do on OpenTrack, but make sure you've got your venue, first aid and officials all booked in.
- After entries close, you will want to number your competitors, and if you haven't already, order your numbers.
- Now seed your races and publish the start list, and you're ready to start your meet.
- During or after your meet, results can be uploaded using our photofinish integration, live field recording, or our manual track/field input.
- Finally, all that is left to do is send off your results to the statistician and mark your results as official.
