Live Field Recording - Vertical Events¶
A complete video demonstration is below, but please also read the documentation to get a full understanding of the process:
You can use the recorder on a phone, tablet, or laptop, to start you must head to the event you want to record, ensuring your OpenTrack account has been given the relevant access to the competition.
From the event page, you can start to record jumps by clicking the RECORD button.
Before you can start recording, you must set the height of the first jump by clicking -RAISE BAR- and enter the starting height, and confirm your selection.
After this, click the line for the athlete making an attempt. The names will be in the order of the start list seen on the event page. A RECORD button will appear:
When you click RECORD you will see the following:
Click -O - if the athlete clears the bar.
Click -X - if the athlete hits the bar.
Click --- if the athlete skips the attempt.
Click -R- if the athlete is retiring from the competition.
If you clicked on the wrong athlete, just click the X in the top right hand corner. Once you have recorded the attempt, move onto the next athlete and follow the same process.
As shown below, the colour for each athlete changes as their attempts are recorded.
If you make a mistake and record an attempt incorrectly, you can delete the most recent attempt for an athlete by clicking the X button and then confirming the deletion.
You can then record a new attempt.
To raise the bar, click -RAISE BAR- and set the new bar height. If you get it wrong, you can delete the height by clicking red -X - next to it.
To finish the competition, click -☑ -. If the competition finishes with all athletes fouled out, it will automatically end.
The results will be marked as provisional, and someone will just need to check them against the paper field card and then mark them as official.
Note
You can just compare the best performance to quickly check the results have been correctly recorded.
