Answered: Adding a specialty

Tue, 16 Jan 2024 14:16:54 +0000

I have taken a look at your profile and see that you have recently participated in a lot of different events.

This is why Athletics.app is unable to automatically add a specialty. Unfortunately, it is not possible to add a specialty yourself at this time.

Can a difference be made in records between indoor and outdoor 60m hurdles?

Sun, 09 Jul 2023 13:20:12 +0000

Up to the minimes girls, they run 6 hurdles in 60 meters outdoors.
In the indoor, the 60 meters hurdles are 5 hurdles. The personal records are the same for both. But these two running competitions are different.
Is it possible to indicate how many hurdles are involved?

Answered: I suddenly miss a personal record in my profile

Fri, 10 Feb 2023 13:45:58 +0000

There is a button at the bottom of your records "[Show all records]". If you click on it, your other personal record in the 400-meter hurdles will also appear. However, that personal record was achieved at a different hurdle height when you were younger.

Answered: How can you enter your OBP?

Thu, 19 Jan 2023 09:15:45 +0000

The organization of a competition can decide whether or not registrants may enter their personal best performance. The organization can also set the period in which a personal best performance must have been achieved. The organization can also indicate the source of the best performance. They can choose whether it is exclusively performances recognized by the Dutch Athletics Federation or the Flemish Athletics League, or whether it can be any performance included in the athlete profile of Athletics.app. This means that it is possible that an achievement is visible in your athlete profile, but that it does not meet the requirements set by the organization, as a result of which a best performance is not automatically entered.

Answered: How do I hide my athlete profile so that it is no longer publicly visible?

Mon, 26 Dec 2022 14:07:04 +0000

We do not currently offer that option. However, we can delete all your personal data so that you can no longer be found on Athletics.app. If you send us an email to support@Athletics.app, we will usually take care of this within one week.

Answered: When is a specialty indicated?

Sun, 18 Sep 2022 12:34:02 +0000

You must have at least 10 results from 1 event before it qualifies to be considered a specialty. That does not mean, however, that if you have 11 results in 1 event, it is immediately clear that this is your specialty. There are (many) more calculation rules involved.

Answered: How is an athlete's specialty determined?

Tue, 01 Mar 2022 09:03:07 +0000

At the moment, an athlete's specialty is determined automatically. There are no plans to allow for manual adjustments at this time.

Answered: Is an OBP with a "globe" automatically reliable?

Wed, 19 May 2021 20:10:58 +0000

No! All PBs that can be seen in Athletics.app can be changed by athletes. The globe only indicates that a URL has been entered. If you click on it, the URL that the athlete has entered will open, where you can check for yourself whether that PB is indeed correct.
We are working on improving this and adding auto-complete for best performances. It is not yet clear when that option will be added, hopefully by the end of 2021.

Wed, 09 Sep 2020 14:14:31 +0000

This is not (yet) possible. We are working on making it possible, however.

Separation of the Athletics Champs and regular events

Thu, 15 Nov 2018 11:20:17 +0000

Dear,

As a microphone operator and trainer, I have repeatedly encountered the problem that the personal records of Athletics Champs competitions and regular competitions are combined. For example, the 60m hurdles for A-pupils and the 60m hurdles for D-Juniors. These times are now often mixed up, but the heights and intermediate distances differ. Now the fast times for younger children often end up in the older age groups because the younger children often run faster because of the low hurdles. Is it possible to keep the Athletics Champs and the classic events separate?

Regards

Answered: My name/results are 2x on Athletics.app, how can I link this?

Fri, 15 Jun 2018 13:30:48 +0000

It has nothing to do with merging. For the last two competitions, I added my license number to my profile. I always thought this was a competition license, but it is a membership number. Since then, the last two competitions have been visible under personal records. My profile was already very clear with my name, date of birth, etc., so I really don't understand why it is going wrong. License number is not a required field.

Answered: Why have all my son's personal records been erased from the Dutch Athletics Federation's database (registration no. 856314)?

Tue, 10 Apr 2018 14:00:13 +0000

Many imany registrations from the past 6 months did not appear to be linked to their athlete profile. There appeared to be an error in Athletics.app that did not link any new registrations. Yesterday we implemented an update that fixes this problem and all athletes should now be linked again, retroactively.
Please note that athletes are not always recognized automatically. Unfortunately, this cannot be corrected manually at this time. We are working hard to improve this so that you can edit athlete profiles yourself.This has been automatically translated into English

Answered: Are the best performances listed actually checked?

Mon, 26 Mar 2018 11:00:41 +0000

Athletics.app does not (yet) automatically check the specified best performances of athletes. It varies per organization whether they manually check the specified performances.

Change profile - will personal records or records disappear?

Fri, 26 Jan 2018 15:11:14 +0000

Good day,

As a parent, I have created a profile and am registering my daughter for competitions. I would like to change the profile to my daughter's. Is that possible, or do I have to create a new profile for her (I'm afraid her press records will disappear). It concerns the account of M. van Rooijen, Waldhoorn 77 2907 SJ Capelle aan den IJssel, which needs to be converted to Zoe Eyra, Waldhoorn 77 2907 SJ Capelle aan den IJssel, girl Pupil B of PAC. Regards and thanks in advance for a response. Marcilla van Rooijen

Why does the PB in Heats not match the PRs in Profile?

Tue, 20 Jun 2017 06:31:22 +0000

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am the parent of Gerben Vaessen.

I just saw that he is scheduled for the 1000m heats this Sunday at the regional championships in Kerkrade. In the heats, there is an OBP (official representative) after his name, which does not appear in his profile.

How is this link made?

Kind regards,

Benny Vaessen

How can I change the club in my profile?

Mon, 09 Jan 2017 15:47:37 +0000

I changed clubs a few days ago, and this has already been processed by the Dutch Athletics Federation, but when I try to register with Athletics.app, my old club is still listed under my registration. How can I change this, or will it change automatically?

Personal Profile: PRs appear in multiple ways for 1 event in the list

Mon, 22 Aug 2016 10:19:36 +0000

Due to an understandable error by the organization. They had forgotten to click through at event discus and bullet so the weight is not listed. Because of this the list of pr's shows a second pr for the same event. The list of pr's becomes long and messy. Furthermore we are very happy with this site regarding results and pr's only this is a small "mistake".

Where can I find all my results in Athletics.app?

Sun, 14 Feb 2016 15:58:39 +0000

I find Athletics.app heartily useful. Really great even. I just miss that you can't search back your results.

You can create an account but it does not contain your old results? Will this be in the future?
Love to hear from you,
Greetings Jolanda Otten
