ET and Athletics Champs - multiple attempts for running events

Question

In an Atletic Champs competition, competitors can run 40 or 60 meters several times.
We work with Photofinish systems (Electronic Timing) which automatically uploads the results to Athletics.app. This means that for a competitor, a result is uploaded multiple times in Athletics.app.

The question is whether the result is added each time or whether the result is exceeded or whether in this situation I have to register the results manually.

Answer 1

If you are using electronic timing and want to synchronize/upload it to Athletics.app, Athletics.app will always assume that this is the result for "attempt 1".

This means you cannot upload multiple attempts from the ET.

For Athletics Champs you also have to take the heat format into account: Athletics Champs does not have a pre-determined heat format. Each team occupies one lane and sends their athletes out from there. One team has eight athletes, the other team has 11. After eight heats, the first team is already ready for their second attempt, while the other team still has three athletes who are doing their first attempt. So you have constantly changing heats.

Comments

It would be very welcome if multiple attempts could be entered in Athletics Champs. There are then so many starts so quickly that it is a lot of work to enter them all manually.
Maybe we don't do it according to the official rules, but with us the heats always stay the same. So with the same runners, multiple attempts. Otherwise, it's chaos and administratively impossible to process.
