No performance has been announced yet, but it does have to be a personal record, which means registration is not possible.

Question

We have created a competition for HAC'63 on April 15 in which we have the PR performance to be filled in by the registrants.  There are problems with registration as no PR is yet known. The event or distance has not yet been completed by the athlete in a competition.

We need PR performances to make a good heat schedule and to give the announcer insight into the best performance given and the performance achieved.

How can we make sure the registrations of these athletes go smoothly?

Best regards, Silvia Reumer - HAC'63

Answer 1

As a competition organization, you can choose whether or not to require that personal records be entered.
If it is mandatory, then registrants must submit a personal best, because without filling this in, the registrant will not be able to complete the registration.

If you do allow athletes to participate without having a personal best in an event, then it is advisable not to make it mandatory for them to fill this in.
