conflicts in determining location when entering results

asked Oct 2, 2016 in Results entry by Gonja van de Ven - Stokmans
When processing the results, there is now a new heading for conflicts in positioning. What is the intention here? Should we do something with it? We had a combined-events event, so it doesn't really matter. This also becomes very time-consuming when entering the results if you have to keep adjusting it.

Athletics.app automatically determines the ranking for athletes. However, if you do not enter all attempts and only enter the best attempt, it is possible that 2 or more athletes will be shown as having finished equal, while it can be determined that they did not finish equal due to error jumps or previous attempts. Here you can specify the exact ranking for the athletes who finished equal. This is mainly done in competitions with single events, where points are awarded according to rank, and for National Championships. This is optional and not mandatory.
