Who are the "fans" of my minor children?

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 13:49:38 +0000

Dear,

How can we see who is "following" our children? This aspect of privacy does not sit well with us. We saw that the same question was already asked in 2023 - was it acted upon?

With thanks and best regards!

Export schedule

Fri, 06 Sep 2024 14:14:04 +0000

Is it currently possible to export the time schedule to Excel? I have searched for this function, but I probably cannot find it. Would it be possible to add such a function? This would allow trainers and competition officials to make an overview for themselves with the relevant events instead of having to read through an entire time schedule every time.

Digital signage via an API connection.

I don't know if it exists, but I would like to be able to broadcast a competition on television via an API connection so that you can show results and something else (news from the club) at the same time. (I know that narrowcasting exists).

Tag competition as a favorite

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 16:22:19 +0000

As an athlete, it would be very useful for my seasonal planning if it were possible to tag a competition as a favorite. This would give me a list of competitions that I am going to [or want to] run. The "Favorites list" could be accessible via a new button "My Favorites" that would be placed to the right of the "My competitions" button.

KM calculation Home address - Running track

Mon, 08 Jan 2024 16:50:39 +0000

As an athlete, I make an overview of all competitions in which I could participate. I place the competitions in my calendar. In addition to the number and the place, I also note the number of kilometers I have to drive to reach the athletics track. Would it be possible to automatically show that distance based on the athlete's address [which should be recorded in account]?

Key statement regarding athletes of umbrella clubs

Fri, 22 Sep 2023 15:33:17 +0000

As the parent of two members and an employee of the umbrella organization FLAC Kern Izegem, I would find it useful to be able to filter competitions to only include the athletes of FLAC Izegem. This is not possible now because this subdivision is missing. Could this be something that could be added, for example to the registration form or to the athletes' profiles?

Automating the composition of the jury schedule

Fri, 07 Apr 2023 12:10:31 +0000

Assigning judges and parent helpers is a time-consuming process that can be sped up considerably by integrating with Athletics.app. After all, information about the schedule and parent helpers and judges who have signed up is already available. Ideally, the jury members can be registered at club level. Jury members, starters and referees can register for the competition via an invitation from Athletics.app. WOC/juco can divide registered jury members over the various events. The timetable functionality in Athletics.app allows jury members to see which events they have to judge at which times with which helpers. At the end of the season, it is clear how often a jury member, assistant parent and referee was deployed. An approach via Athletics.app prevents errors in 'shadow' schedules (in Excel) for the jury and makes the planning process much easier.

Is it possible to manage multiple children in one parent account?

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 09:02:03 +0000

Is there an option to create a parental account and add and manage children (athletes)? So that all data, such as license numbers, has already been entered. That makes a considerable difference with registrations.

Other Invoice email address when registering

Wed, 15 Mar 2023 18:20:24 +0000

When I create a competition in Athletics.app, I can enter a different billing email address. Can I do the same when registering athletes for a city competition, for example? That a volunteer from the club registers all the athletes with her email address, for example, and that the treasurer's email address can be entered so that he pays the bill.

Page after push notification app

Sun, 05 Mar 2023 12:49:00 +0000

On an iPhone 12, iOS 16.2, a push notification takes you to personal records and not to the heat results. As a result, I have no idea how someone did in the competition.

Can that be changed so that you end up with the full results?

Can I suppress/not show the provisional timetable in phase 1 to registrants?

Wed, 01 Mar 2023 20:38:02 +0000

I am preparing our tracksuits competition. I am in phase 1. Because the competition is the same as last year, I have copied it. The timetable from last year has also been copied. This is OK, but this schedule may be adjusted depending on the number of registrants.
I know that the timetable in phase 1 clearly states that it is a provisional timetable, but people do not read carefully and every year I have people who say that they have seen a different timetable. During phase 1, I prefer to hide the timetable so that it is not visible. And only send them an email with the timetable when we go to phase 2. The other option is to delete everything and then add it back again, but that's a lot of work. Is it possible to not show the provisional timetable to registrants?

Is it possible (in the future) to save the competitions of interest?

Dear, by this I mean saving competitions like a wish list at adidas/zalando... Where you can easily have an overview of which competitions you want to participate in and don't have to keep searching through all the competitions out there. That you can quickly have your preferences and register when you can/are sure.

Own scoring formulas based on performance, such as at school sports days.

Sun, 12 Jun 2022 06:32:22 +0000

At school sports days, the children receive a performance indication for each event.
For example, in long jump (in meters):

from 0.00 to 0.75 = E
from 0.76 to 1.50 = D
from 1.51 to 2.25 = C
from 2.26 to 3.00 = B
from 3.01 and more = A

Johnny jumps 2.08 meters and receives a C as his points.
Klaus jumps 3.98 meters and receives an A as his points.

If the data field Points is numerical, then a possible solution would be: E=1, D=2, C=3, B=4, A=5.

Is it possible to realize this as a scoring formula for each person?

Answered: Relays in the competition, when will the big update come?

Fri, 02 Jul 2021 00:32:37 +0000

Yes, the long-awaited and much-requested relay update is finally here.From now on, registering and creating relay teams is just as easy as registering athletes!
What is now possible for relay teams:

Create your own Startlists, combine categories or split groups
Create your own Heat divisions
Full integration with photo finish systems, so you never have to manually retype times again
Print paper jury forms, with the bib numbers and names of all the team's runners, compactly on one line. Costs will now be charged per relay team and no longer per individual athlete. The person who registers the relay team pays for that team.
For competitions in which only relay events are scheduled, athletes will not receive a bib number, but the relay teams will
For competitions in which non-relay events are also scheduled, relay teams will never receive a bib number, but each individual athlete will

Can you make it mandatory to fill in the extra registration questions?

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 15:08:21 +0000

Dear,

As the organizer, I have created additional registration questions for the details of the supervisors (address, telephone, email). I have noticed that some parents do not fill this in but are still able to save their registration. Is it possible to make this mandatory? For example, they could receive a notification if they have not filled this in. So they can only complete the registration if they have filled in all the extra questions?

Thank you for your answer,

Answered: I would like to request results via an API to display on my website

Sun, 03 Jan 2021 08:14:06 +0000

I have already asked for a REST (or SOAP) API a number of times, but strangely enough I have not received an answer. Most Clubs use Athletics.app to retrieve and process the performance of their own Club's athletes. By offering an API, each club can automate this and, in my opinion, this will also spare Athletics.app a lot of requests (Altis members generally use our own site https://altis-resultaten.com/ )

It would be nice if you would pick up this frequently requested feature request in 2021!

I hereby repeat my question:

I am a member of the Altis Amersfoort records committee and a Java developer and administrator of the website that lists the results of all Altis athletes (https://altis-resultaten.com/). I set up this website from scratch for our athletes who never knew what their personal records were, but also for our trainers who can now look up all the personal records at a glance (without having to keep their own Excel files)

A few years ago, there were still quite a few different sites where I had to gather the results, but nowadays pretty much everything can be found on your website Athletics.app back on your website. Of course, it would be super easy for me if you could offer the results of a competition via a REST webservice (I now have to parse the HTML). Do you already have something like that, or do you have something like that planned?This has been automatically translated into English

Answered: Achievements without weight indication are included in rankings.

Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:56:30 +0000

You do NOT have to select the event with weight specification. Even if an event does NOT have a weight specification, it is automatically added to the Dutch Rankings. The rankings automatically determine the official weight of the category the athlete competed in, and the performance is automatically added to the rankings under that weight.

Answered: Remove canceled competitions and competitions between clubs under a separate heading - current overview for open competitions

Wed, 08 Jul 2020 10:43:44 +0000

Thank you for your feedback. A great idea! We have implemented an update that better highlights competitions that have been canceled or that are internal competitions. Canceled competitions will remain visible, but will be labeled "Canceled" and displayed in grayed-out form in the competition calendar. Internal competitions now have a label "Internal" in light gray, italicized, behind their name. This label appears automatically if a competition organizer only allows 1 club to participate.

We deliberately leave competitions that have been canceled in the competition calendar so that athletes who were initially interested in that competition can clearly see that it has been canceled. If a competition "just disappears," it can cause confusion for many visitors.

This is still high on my wish list and I see that it has been requested several times already! I process the results for rankings/club records for our club and I would like to be able to search by club, as is possible on www.uitslagen.nl, and then get a list of all the performances of our club's competitors for the period I have selected for each competition. I don't always know who is going to which competition and when, and as a result I am always playing catch-up! Thanks in advance!

Option to print lists per club with the final results of the Athletics Champs competitions.

Fri, 06 Sep 2019 16:40:39 +0000

It is about awarding medals at the Athletics Champs competition.

It would be nice if there were a possibility in Athletics.app to also print lists per club in the individual classification PDF. Now it is only possible for all pupils together. But in a competition with 300 pupils, it is not desirable to award medals to all pupils individually. You would then like to hand out the medals per club. Ultimately, you can achieve this through individual leaderboards in Excel, but this is quite laborious and it also takes a lot of time to make neat lists. I would appreciate your response. MVG

Overview for coaches

Sun, 23 Jun 2019 21:22:58 +0000

I would like to suggest the following implementation to make it easier for coaches, but also for social media teams of clubs, etc.:

- In the competition calendar (and results), you can search by club, showing only competitions in which athletes from that club are participating / have participated
- A page where you can choose a club, then choose year of birth (or current category) and gender, which will give you an overview of all athletes in this category with their PRs in the Events (or performances from year X). Handy for getting a quick, up-to-date overview for making competition teams or teams for finals.

Setting distance limits for competitions during registration

Sat, 02 Feb 2019 00:30:37 +0000

For a throwing event, we work with distance limits that throwers must have achieved in order to participate. Now my question is whether it is possible to have Athletics.app automatically check whether someone meets the limit during registration. They have to enter their personal record, but I cannot set it up to also check whether it is far enough to be allowed to participate. This saves disappointment after registration if they are not allowed to participate after all.

Perhaps there is also the option to select competitions before registration opens and to receive some sort of notification when registration has opened?
