Track Results Input¶
If you are not using photofinish integration, inputting results manually can be done very quickly and efficiently.
For a visual representation, here is a video demonstrating the process, as well as the documentation below it:
From your competition homepage, click START LISTS/RESULTS, and choose the event you wish to input results for. In this example, we are looking at a 400m.
You can see below that the competitors have been brought into a start list. However, if you are entering results post event, there is no necessity to do this. It is only really nice to have so athletes or fans can see the list before the event
Click either EDIT BY LANE or EDIT RESULTS. Both do a similar thing, but with a slightly different layout.
Editing by lane is often used in track races where it is easier to input results handed to you in lane order.
In this example, we will look at EDIT RESULTS.
You simply need to either type in, or copy and paste (from an excel document) the bib number and performance (time). The system will lookup the athlete details from the bib number; there's no need to include the athlete details.
Make sure you input the results in the correct time format. For example:
- 9.58 - seconds
- 58.5 - seconds
- 63.5 - seconds
- 1:03.5 - equivalent to 63.5, first digit assumed to be minutes
- 2:03 - assumed to be an 800m time of 2 minutes, and not a Marathon, because only one colon
- 2:02:57 - a marathon time, two colons so contains hours
- 73:15 - a half marathon time, equivalent to 1:03:15
If inputting an ultra event, you'll need to count up the hours!
When you are done, click SAVE.
You can now go back and view the public view. (Bear in mind that the public will not see the editable info on the right side of the screen below).
As you can see, the automatic PB notification has displayed for two athletes.
