Athletes register for one event in multiple startgroups

Could it please be made possible for athletes to register for multiple startgroups for a single event?
It is such a huge hassle to get this done. And yes, I can create 1kg shot put, 2kg shot put and 3kg shot put, etc., etc., but in order to process the correct results in Athletics.app for the athletes, I have to move all the athletes and/or re-enter their performances. It is truly horrendously laborious and very frustrating for the competition secretariat. And in addition to being laborious and frustrating, it is also extremely error-prone. Many clubs that organize throwing/jumping/running competitions run into this problem time and time again. After all these years of development, surely it must be possible to help the customers?

Since 2 weeks it is possible to create new events yourself.

It is still not possible to register an athlete for 1 event and then place them in 2 startgroups.

But it is now possible to create 2 events, for example:

Shot put Block A

Shot put Block B

An athlete can register for 2 events and then select the startgroup of the same name.



You can create your own event via the drop-down menu on the right --> categories and events --> manage custom events.
