Competition Check-in¶
The check-in feature allows competition organisers to seed only those who are competing. When any type of check-in is turned on, athletes will need to be checked in before they can be seeded.
Check-in Methods¶
Whole Competition Check-in¶
With whole competition check-in turned on, athletes can be checked in once for all the events they are entered into.
This can either be done by the organiser, as athletes arrive at the competition venue, or by the athletes themselves, using OpenTrack's remote check-in functionality.
Individual Event Check-in¶
With individual event check-in turned on, athletes can be checked in for each event they are entered into.
Check-in Configuration¶
You can configure your check-in settings in the Events management screen.
Checking Athletes In¶
Competitors Management Screen¶
In Manage Competitors, you will see a Chk-in column.
Click x to check an athlete in, and click ✓ to check an athlete out. You can also scroll to the bottom of the page to check in or out all athletes.
When per event check-in is turned on, you can click EVENTS to check in athletes for specific events.
Check-In Approvers¶
When check-in approvers is turned on, you can invite individuals to manage athlete check-ins without having access to all management screens.
Once they have access, clicking APPROVE CHECK INS on the competition homepage will bring up a list of all athletes with their bib number, date of birth, gender, and events.
This can be used at registration to check athletes into their event, and hand out their bib number. If using whole competition check-in, checking an athlete in for any event will check them in for the whole competition.
Competitors Tab¶
You can also manage athlete check-ins per event in the competitors tab for that event. This can be useful as a final check before seeding. Remember to click SAVE after making any changes.
Remote Check-in¶
If you have whole competition check-in turned on, you have the option to email all competitors with a link for them to check in remotely, documented here.
