Answered: Is the Athletics. App compatible with Swiss Timing (electronic timing system)?

Sun, 01 Jun 2025 18:46:23 +0000

We currently integrate with Finishlynx, TimeTronics, SportTronic, Alge (uses the same files as Finishlynx).

We would love to help you out and usually it takes not too much effort to integrate with a new timing system, if you could email us the details of the CSV file containing the start lists and a file containing the results, we can add support for the Swiss Timing system.

Answered: How can I enter the times of a cross-country race using a barcode?

Sat, 19 Nov 2022 11:04:22 +0000

The Flemish Athletics League has made a very clear video of how the scanning of bib numbers works at a cross country event for timekeeping in the Athletics.app Jury App: http://www.youtube.com/embed/kEHDsXc_qFI

The VAL makes the scanners available to organizers. If you are unable to use the VAL scanners, you can also use any Android or Apple phone/tablet that can connect to a handheld scanner via Bluetooth.

We have tested this scanner ourselves: https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/bluetooth-qr-ccd-handheld-dtronic-barcodescanner-bwm3/9200000117617365/?Referrer=ENTcli_shipment_confirmation_standard2008093611

Note: the barcode scanner above only works with Apple and Windows. There are also scanners that do work with Android.

Can EDM be added as an option within the menu ''results settings''?

Thu, 22 Jul 2021 14:36:29 +0000

EDM is being used in more and more competitions. Now all that remains is the choice between ''photo finish (electronic)'' or ''stopwatch (manual). When only technical numbers are on the program, this is a somewhat strange designation because photo finish is not an option when electronically recording the results. Therefore, please add EDM as an option so that it is also clear to athletes that EDM is used (in addition to ET).

Answered: How to apply points correction of overrun relay (correction is 50 points)

Sat, 03 Jul 2021 11:15:01 +0000

You can award the 50 penalty points by placing an "o" (the letter O, for 'Overlopen', which means 'to cross over') after the relay result when entering it.

The results will then be displayed in the results with an * and an additional explanation.

Answered: Entering high scores via the app while the same categories can also be done by wrist.

Mon, 14 Jun 2021 12:52:08 +0000

Athletics Champs has a rule that athletes can choose which height they want to jump per attempt. By choosing the Athletics Champs scoring formula, the jury app automatically adjusts to the Athletics Champs rules.

If you choose a different scoring formula, you will get the classic high jump principle of 3 attempts per height.

Answered: How do I enter an article number for a disqualification?

Sat, 07 Mar 2020 14:56:30 +0000

In Athletics.app, you can enter an article number/reason for a disqualification.

You do this by entering "DQ" while entering a result, immediately followed by a piece of text with an explanation.

For example, you enter: "DQ art 123.45".

Athletics.app automatically recognizes the DQ and the text that follows is saved as an explanation.

Note: You can enter article numbers via the competition secretary. It does not (yet) work via the jury app.

Answered: When entering results, how does the function "show official/not yet official" work?

Tue, 28 Jan 2020 10:50:13 +0000

In Athletics.app, you can choose to keep track of whether results are official, not yet official, corrected or under protest.
There are a number of advantages to activating this:

It is clear to everyone when a protest time period started and when it expired.
Results that are official/corrected can no longer be changed. This applies to all entries to change results, such as the jury app, electronic timekeeping synchronization and via the competition secretariat. If you still want to change a result, the status must first be changed to "Not yet official", so that you can change the status back to "Corrected" later.

Step 1

You activate this once via the right-hand drop-down menu "Results settings", set "Show Official/Not yet official" to "Yes".

Step 2

In the time schedule you can see which events are marked as Official/Corrected for each event.

Step 3

Click on an event in the time schedule, then go to the heats. There you will see the current status. By clicking on it, you can change the status. The time is also saved when you change the status. This time is published both online and on paper and can be used as the start of the protest time.

Answer selected: Can I change the order in 'results processing'?

Mon, 16 Sep 2019 12:45:19 +0000

Athletics.app shows an overview of all the results you still need to enter and which you have already entered in full or in part via the right-hand drop-down menu in "Enter results". Note: make sure you enter both a start and end time for each event, then this overview will work best. End times are not known for every competition, in which case you can make an estimate of when an event will end, for example, as soon as their next event starts. Without specifying end times for an event, the overview works a little less well, which is probably what you noticed in this competition.

Answered: How do I change the hurdle height or throwing weight after entering the results?

Tue, 03 Oct 2017 08:07:40 +0000

The easiest time to change the events is before the athletes have registered. After the athletes have registered and/or the results have been entered, it is more difficult to change the events. The procedure for doing this is as follows:

Edit the events for the category in question (via the right drop-down menu --> "Categories and events").
First add the correct event and leave the incorrect event in place. (you cannot delete the incorrect event yet).
Then register all athletes for the new correct event and leave them registered for the incorrect event.
Place the athletes in a new Startgroup for the correct event.
Print out the Startlist.
Enter the results again, but now for the correct event.
Delete (clear) the results of the athletes in the incorrect event.
Register the athletes for the incorrect event.
Remove the event from the category (via the right-hand drop-down menu --> "Categories and Events").

Answer selected: Wind measurement at defections

Tue, 08 Nov 2016 11:44:10 +0000

In heats that are crossed over, the performances of the original heat are always canceled out. You cannot post both the original performance and the crossed-over performance in Athletics.app. You only publish the time + wind of the athlete who has defected. You have 2 options for a heat that has been defected: Create a new heat (the defected heat format IS on Athletics.app) For the audience, this is the clearest option.
a) Go to the heat divisions of the startgroup.
b) Manually change the heat division, drag the athletes who are allowed to transfer into a new heat.
c) Enter the results + wind measurement for this heat via the drop-down menu on the right --> 'Enter results'.

Advantage:
The audience sees the actual heat schedule as it has been transferred.
You can print out the heat schedule from Athletics.app

Keep the original heats (the transferred heat schedule is NOT on Athletics.app)
This can be confusing for the audience.

a) Leave the original heat schedule on Athletics.app and quickly make a heat schedule for the relay on paper.
b) Enter the results for each athlete individually by going to the heat schedule via the Timetable (green bar at the top). Click on the result of the athlete you wish to edit/add. You can now enter the performance + wind for this athlete.
c) After entering, close the input menu and repeat step B.
d) Refresh the page to see your changes.

Answer selected: conflicts in determining location when entering results

Tue, 08 Nov 2016 11:43:56 +0000

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.

Answer selected: How can I change results after the competition is over?

Tue, 08 Nov 2016 11:42:39 +0000

The competition closes automatically 30 days after the competition has ended. At that point, you can only view your settings and results, but you can no longer edit them. This is how we try to prevent someone accidentally making changes to an old competition, which would result in them accidentally deleting the results of that competition. If you still want to make changes to a competition older than 30 days, please send an email to support@Athletics.app, stating the reason why you still want to make changes. We can then reopen the competition for changes for another 30 days.

Answer selected: Adjusting scoring formulas for combined-events

Tue, 08 Nov 2016 11:01:04 +0000

Yes, you can change the scoring formulas at any time. As long as the events you have set up are also available in the new scoring formula. Athletics.app automatically converts all results to the new scoring formula. You can change the scoring formula (before and during the competition) via the drop-down menu on the right --> 'Categories and events' --> 'Edit scoring formula'.

Answer selected: In technical numbers in competitors with e.g. equal height, how do I enter the good ranking?

Wed, 24 Aug 2016 10:03:55 +0000

A very good question. We want to fully support this in a short time by entering the error jumps. Now this is also possible with a trick: by entering millimeters.

An example, two athletes (Linda and Nadine) both jump 1.75m. Nadine had a false jump at this height, Nadine did not. To give Nadine first place, we fill in 1.751 for her and 1.75 for Nadine. This puts Nadine in first place. In the results, the millimeters will be rounded and thus will show 1.75 neatly.

Semi-finals should be created as a separate event in Athletics.app. So a semifinal in Athletics.app is not a 2nd attempt, but a 1st attempt at another event.

Answered: How do I enter hand clocked times if our ET is down?

Sun, 05 Jun 2016 10:54:46 +0000

For times measured electronically, points are calculated differently than times measured by hand.

You can enter hand times by placing an 'h' after the time, for example for the 100 meters:

12.1h
11.8h

Answered: Enter attempts at high and pole vault

Tue, 17 May 2016 15:21:29 +0000

You can currently enter for high jump and pole vault only the height achieved, in Athletics.app.

However, it is planned to also enter all valid/error/skipped attempts.

On the jury form you can of course enter all valid/error/skipped attempts, just not yet digitally: https://www.athletics.app/faq/?qa=220/hoogtes-op-het-juryformulier-hoogspringen&show=220#q220
