Answered: Can the athletes who had already paid be automatically transferred?

Sat, 29 Jan 2022 08:41:34 +0000

You cannot transfer athletes to another competition in a single action.
However, you can export all registrations to Excel and import them from Excel into your new competition.

You could then mark all your imported athletes as paid for by entering a fictitious payment via the right-hand menu --> Payments --> Add manual payment.

Mon, 14 Jun 2021 12:55:10 +0000

If a competition is canceled and you have already received registrations and/or payments from athletes, you can no longer change the competition date. You can then cancel the competition and create a new one on the new competition date :)

The Flemish Athletics League must first approve the competitions. Only after the VAL approves the competitions do they appear in Athletics.app for claiming.

It is best to contact the VAL to ask when they expect to approve the competitions.

Answered: How do I create a competition and enter results from last Saturday?

You can only create a competition with a date in the future and not in the past.

We are happy to help you publish the competition results on Athletics.app:

Create the competition with today's date as the competition date.
When creating the competition, choose that you have used a different software package (e.g. Excel).
You can import the results immediately.
Send us an email (support@Athletics.app) requesting a change to the competition date, including a link to the competition in question and the date to which the competition should be changed.

Answered: Do I have to pay to get a race on the athletics union's calendar?

Tue, 24 Oct 2017 18:11:59 +0000

In addition to being a complete online competition administration package, Athletics.app is also a partner of the Dutch Athletics Federation, for which we provide the (track!) competition calendar.
You only need to purchase a license if you want to use the administration package. If you only want to display your competition on the Dutch Athletics Federation competition calendar, you can create a competition in Athletics.app for free, which will then be automatically registered with the Dutch Athletics Federation.

Please note: the Dutch Athletics Federation has two platforms for athletics competitions. If your competition is a road/cross-country race (not on an athletics track), please contact the Dutch Athletics Federation to register your competition: https://www.atletiekunie.nl/contactgegevens

Answered: Multi-day event

Fri, 08 Sep 2017 12:16:41 +0000

If the competition is within 4 days, with 1 or more rest days, this is possible. You can then indicate that the competition lasts 4 days and then do not schedule any events on the rest day(s) in the time schedule.

If the competition has more rest days and is therefore longer than 4 days, it is not possible to create this as 1 competition in Athletics.app

Answered: Competition has been canceled / is canceled

Thu, 11 May 2017 13:34:30 +0000

In Athletics.app, you cannot specifically mark the competition as 'Cancelled'. We usually recommend changing the name of the competition and adding [CANCELLED] to the name of the competition, so that it is immediately clear to everyone that the competition has been canceled.
You cannot delete the competition, so it will remain on the calendar. Athletes often like this, so they can see on the calendar that the competition is canceled. Otherwise, the competition would suddenly disappear, which often raises questions from athletes/trainers/parents.

After the competition date, Athletics.app automatically recognizes that the competition has been canceled and then automatically changes the status of the competition in the competition calendar to 'Cancelled'. This does not happen until after the competition.

Answered: Can I still change the contest date?

Tue, 19 Apr 2016 20:23:03 +0000

You can change the contest date as long as the contest date is in the future.
Once the competition date is in the past you cannot change the competition date and the competition also closes automatically after about a month and you cannot change athletes/results/etc.

Answered: When will my competitions appear in the calendar?

Wed, 09 Mar 2016 10:33:00 +0000

All competitions using Athletics.app as an administration package will appear directly in the Athletics.app calendar (https://www.athletics.app/wedstrijden/).

All competitions where another administration package is used (for example: WAP, Atdor, Athleticsmanager), the competition will not be visible on Athletics.app.

To register on the Athletics Union calendar (https://www.atletiek.nl/wedstrijden/), the competition must first be approved by the calendar coordinator (an Athletics Union volunteer). To do this, view the "Athletics Union Calendar Status" of your competition. This can be found on the home page of your competition. Athletics.app has no further influence on the approval of your competition with the Athletics Union.

To contact a your calendar coordinator, check out the Athletics Union website: https://www.atletiekunie.nl/voor-clubs/wedstrijdzaken/kalendercoordinatie

Answered: How do I search the calendar by event and/or category?

Fri, 04 Mar 2016 14:29:49 +0000

The search bar on Athletics.app (and athletics.com/race-calendar) is multifunctional. Here you can search by both part name and category name. For example, enter "800m juniors a" to see all competitions where there is an 800m for the Juniors AB and Seniors.

This search bar is very flexible, for example search on "far,high pupils" to find all competitions where the pupils high jump or long jump. Or "juncd" to get all competitions for juniors c/d.

Not satisfied with the results or do you have suggestions? Let us know below. We are still working to improve the search function.

Answered: Applications process league competition in Athletics.app

Thu, 03 Mar 2016 09:31:12 +0000

The procedure for competitions is slightly different from all other competitions in Athletics.app.

For competitions we provide an extra service; We have already set up the competition for you. The Competition is pre-set with the right Categories, Events and all Teams. The competition is also directly linked to the national competition ranking, so you no longer need to send separate results to the Athletics Union.

Do you also want to use the administration package of Athletics.app? Then claim your competition now, you can do that as follows:

Start using Athletics.app for competition:
1) Go to https://www.athletics.app/wedstrijd/create/
2) Click on 'Competition competition'
3) Select your competition
4) Click on 'Start the competition with Athletics.app'
5) Follow the payment instructions and once you or the treasurer have paid you can get started!

Tip: Athletics.app for competition is almost free!
The Athletics Union has included in the organizational contribution to clubs an amount intended for competition administration software.
You as a club pay the Athletics.app competition license yourself, but you will automatically get part of it back through the organizational contribution from the Athletics Union!

Exception: Athletics Champs
Athletics Champs competitions are NOT automatically set up, these competitions you can create yourself. You can find additional information here: https://www.athletics.app/faq/?qa=452/er-een-handleiding-of-gebruiksaanwijzing-voor-atletiek-nu

Regions affiliated with the Athletics Union for the Athletics Champs competition also create their own competitions, but the Athletics Union pays for the competition license. After you create your competition, send an email to support@Athletics.app requesting that the competition license be activated.

Answered: How can I change the location for competition suggestions in the competition calendar?

Sat, 02 Jan 2016 14:43:38 +0000

No more location suggestions are given in the competition calendar, due to mostly (too) inaccurate location determination. We are working on new contest suggestions that are more relevant per person.
