Answered: Classifying second sprint based on results of first sprint

Tue, 16 Jan 2024 14:20:05 +0000

Definitely!

That sounds like a preliminary round with a final, in which everyone qualifies for the final based on their time.

Add a 60-meter and a 60-meter final for the relevant category, in their events.

Then create two Startgroups: one for the 60 meters and one for the 60 meters final. In the transition rules for that Startgroup, set 0 as the number of heats winners who can qualify and 999 as the number of fastest times who can qualify.
As soon as the 60-meter results are in, you can click on "Determine qualification to final" in the startlist. You will then see that everyone gets a "q". You can then go to the final startlist and make a division based on time. Athletics.app automatically takes the time from the previous round and makes a division based on that.

Answered: Weights and measures on Startlists

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 09:26:08 +0000

There has been a major update that makes this possible. You can now set an event in categories and choose the weight for that single event. You can then combine different categories in one Startlist, where the correct weight is shown next to the category and the name of each athlete.

Answered: Athletics Champs: Metersmaken only appears in the timetable if it is an event in the combined-events.

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 08:52:04 +0000

Athletics Champs competitions are usually set up with "Manage automatically per team" startgroups. This means that an identical startgroup is automatically created for each team. For this type of competition, it is customary for all events to be run in a Combined-events format. As a result, this Startgroup setting does not work in combination with Single events. How to solve this: change the Startgroups to "Manually manage". However, this easily leads to mistakes, so make sure that if you change an athlete from a team, you also change the athlete from the startgroup.

Answered: Startlist shows athletes who have been withdrawn.

Sat, 19 Nov 2022 10:59:47 +0000

If the startlist is published first and the athlete is only deregistered afterwards, the athlete will still be visible on the previously published startlist. The athlete will only disappear from the startlist after you have created a new version of the startlist.

Answered: What is that orange mark for a best performance?

Sat, 03 Sep 2022 17:05:40 +0000

This means that the athlete entered their own personal best and therefore Athletics.app could not verify whether that personal best had actually been achieved.

Sun, 28 Aug 2022 07:18:47 +0000

In the 3rd event, you can choose DNS and then remove the competitor from all Startgroups. The results of the 2 events will remain, but the competitor will no longer appear on the Startlists.

Answered: Multiple events in different age categories

Fri, 27 May 2022 12:19:09 +0000

Athletes can register twice for the competition, once for the U20 category and once for the Senior category. They will then receive 2 Bib numbers. As a trick, you could give the 2nd registration a fictitious bib number by placing a 9 in front of it.
For example, if the athlete has bib number 54, give him 954 for his 2nd registration. You do not issue the 2nd number, so that the athlete does the entire competition with 1 bib number.

Another solution is to make all events available for the U20 and U18 categories.

Answered: Athletes register for one event in multiple startgroups

Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:49:57 +0000

Since 2 weeks it is possible to create new events yourself.

It is still not possible to register an athlete for 1 event and then place them in 2 startgroups.

But it is now possible to create 2 events, for example:

Shot put Block A

Shot put Block B

An athlete can register for 2 events and then select the startgroup of the same name.

You can create your own event via the drop-down menu on the right --> categories and events --> manage custom events.

Answered: How can I still change the heat schedule in phase 2?

Fri, 17 Jul 2020 12:27:08 +0000

Yes, you can change all heat divisions during your competition and also in Phase 2.

If you change a heat division manually, you can drag and drop the athletes and then click "Save" at the bottom.

Make sure you then go to "New version" and not to the already published version. The already published version remains unchanged, in the New Version you will see your changes. And if you agree, you can print and publish that new version.

Answered: Athletics Champs: Automatic startgroup, but not assigned to a startgroup

Mon, 08 Jul 2019 18:54:02 +0000

This appears to be an Athletics Champs competition. Presumably the startgroups are assigned "Automatically per team". Because the athlete has not yet been assigned to a team, he or she cannot yet be assigned to a startgroup of the same name.
As soon as the athlete is in a team, he/she will also end up in the startgroup.

Answered: 100m seniors supporting program separate from main program

Thu, 13 Jun 2019 14:06:26 +0000

Yes, you can do that.

We have described here how it works for technical events, because it is common for technical events to have two or more groups. For a 100m in a preliminary/main program, it works exactly the same: https://www.athletics.app/faq/?qa=215/inschrijvers-technische-nummers-kiezen-tussen-startgroepen&show=215#q215

Answered: Adjusting the timetable during a competition

Thu, 13 Jun 2019 13:57:18 +0000

Yes, you can certainly adjust the timetable during the competition!

You have two options for doing this:

1) Enter a completely different time for the event. This works in the same way as entering a time for the event during the preparation for your competition.

2) Has the event been delayed and would you like to emphasize that? Then you can manage current delays via the right drop-down menu --> Startgroups --> Current delays. Specify an X number of minutes for each event that the event will start later.

Answered: Is it possible to randomize the long-distance heats?

Mon, 17 Sep 2018 13:39:36 +0000

Certainly you can!
You can choose how the heats are drawn up in the Startgroups settings. There is the option "Random (shuffled)". This means that athletes are randomly assigned to different heats.

Answered: Where do I enter the start/finish time for relay events?

Wed, 22 Aug 2018 12:30:47 +0000

You can enter the times for the relay events via the green "Schedule" bar at the top. There you will see the relay events listed and you can enter a time. This works differently than for all other events in Athletics.app.

Answered: Division of heats (distribution of best runners over heats) in connection with the final afterwards.

Thu, 22 Jun 2017 11:12:20 +0000

You can use a ZigZag method for this. Athletes are then divided over the different heats so that the fastest athletes are never in the same heat. Then, in combination with the ZigZag method, you can select different options for how you want the track to be arranged within a heat.

Answered: An athlete wants to register for an event in both startgroup 1 and startgroup 2.

Wed, 07 Jun 2017 10:35:47 +0000

Only one athlete per event can be assigned to a maximum of one startgroup.

This means that an athlete cannot be assigned to both startgroups for the same event.

You could work with finals/semi-finals to allow athletes to perform the same event multiple times.

Answered: How can I split a large group into two Startgroups?

Thu, 11 May 2017 13:27:42 +0000

1) Create the necessary Startgroups

To do this, you first manually create the different Startgroups yourself. You can read how that works here: https://www.athletics.app/faq/?qa=215/registrants-technical-numbers-choose-between-startgroups&show=215#q215

2) Divide the competitors into the correct startgroups

Answered: Hide timetable and heat schedule

Thu, 04 May 2017 15:06:04 +0000

Hiding the time schedule is not possible in Athletics.app. However, you can choose to remove all startgroups so that no time schedule is displayed. You can do this by configuring the startgroups to "Manual" (step 10 of the wizard). Then you can use the right drop-down menu --> "Startgroups" to remove all athletes from the startgroups and then remove the startgroup itself if it is empty. As long as you have not yet downloaded a jury form, "Provisional heat division" will always remain on Athletics.app for that heat division. If you would like to hide the heat schedules even more, you can choose to work with "registering athletes per event" (via the right-hand drop-down menu --> "Online registration settings" --> "Register which athletes have collected their bib numbers (register per event)": YES.

Then the heat divisions will be hidden behind an additional message stating that the heat divisions will change. Please note that you must first register/deregister all athletes before you can download and print your jury forms this way!

Answered: Athletics Champs: can you choose the team number when registering the team?

Tue, 18 Apr 2017 09:51:09 +0000

If your organization has already prepared empty teams before registration opens, Athletics.app will automatically try to assign the teams to registrants; they cannot choose.

If there are no more empty teams left, the registrant can enter a team name, pool, color, etc. and that data will be used.

Answered: How do I display reporting times on the schedule?

Thu, 06 Apr 2017 13:37:03 +0000

To do this, you must first indicate that you want to register athletes individually when they collect their bib numbers:

Go to the drop-down menu on the right and click on "Online entry settings".
Check the following box: "Register which athletes have picked up their bib numbers (report per event)": YES
Click on "Save".

You can now also specify the Callroom and reporting times in the timetable.

Answered: Hurdles or technical events Startgroups with different weights

Mon, 02 Jan 2017 14:17:10 +0000

You can merge different categories into 1 startgroup. However, this is only possible for the exact same event.

Athletics.app sees "Shot put 6kg" as a different event than "Shot put 5kg".

To get these categories on 1 Startlist, you can choose to select the general event "Shot Put" (without weight specification) for both categories.

Please note that this will affect the weight shown on the Startlists, see also this question.

It is also often decided to have 2 separate startgroups, so that the correct weight is entered on the jury form. You then receive 2 separate jury forms that the jury completes one after the other. You can set the start and end time of both startgroups to the same time.

Answered: Heats show almost empty heats

Thu, 15 Dec 2016 09:10:54 +0000

If you have the series division set to 'Manual series division', it is possible that empty lanes will appear and sometimes even almost empty heats. This occurs, for example, when an athlete is removed from a heat. An empty lane/space then appears in the place where the athlete was assigned. So if you change many athletes from the startgroup, you can create almost completely empty heats. You can remove the empty lanes yourself by moving your mouse over the lane and clicking on the red trash can icon.

Answered: Combined-event schedule set before athletes are entered not possible

Tue, 08 Nov 2016 11:41:09 +0000

There are a number of different scenarios possible:

You have set the startgroups to 'Automatic management by Athletics.app per .....'
You have set the startgroups to 'Manual management'

In the case of situation 1, you can immediately enter a time schedule for all combined-events startgroups.

In the case of situation 2, you can only enter a time schedule for a Combined-events startgroup once there are one or more athletes in that startgroup. The reason for this is that Athletics.app does not yet know exactly which categories will end up in that startgroup, and in theory, each category can have different combined-events events. For example, you could mix a Girl Junior A (100m-sh-shot) with Boys Juniors B (100m-sh-javelin).

If you are in situation 2, you could create a fictitious athlete and give them a distinctive name, such as 'TO BE DELETED LATER', for example. If you place that athlete in the correct Startgroup, you can set a time schedule.

Answered: Relays are not shown in the schedule

Tue, 14 Jun 2016 12:52:09 +0000

Relays work differently in Athletics.app from all other events.

Only once you have created 1 or more relay teams does this event appear in the schedule. You can then also specify a start and finish time for that event.

Note: The relays are not always displayed in the visual timetable.

It is planned to improve this, however, so that relays are aligned with all other events.

Answered: Relays are missing from the startgroups

Tue, 12 Apr 2016 10:24:56 +0000

Estafettes work in Athletics.app differently from all other events.

You can not create startgroups for relay events. Athletics.app automatically creates heats for relays, unfortunately you cannot edit them yet. The heats for relays are also not published online.

You can enter a start and finish time for the relay events through 'Timetable' (top green bar).

You can download the startlists/judge forms for relays through the 'right management menu'--> 'Print Startlists'--> 'Relays' (sub tab at the top).

It is planned to improve relays in Athletics.app (to equalize them with all other events), however, this is an extensive operation, we do not know exactly when we will get to this yet.

Answered: How do I split combined-events startgroups into 2 groups for specific events?

Thu, 25 Feb 2016 12:50:42 +0000

Since February 23 2016, merging startgroups is possible.

In this example, we are going to merge the 60m of two groups JPA1.

Go to the Startgroups page. Check that the startgroup is set to 'Manually Manage'. You can change this from here if necessary.

Now click on the name of a startgroup (in this case, JPA1 group 1).

In the next menu, click on 'Edit this Startgroup'. Scroll down so you ll see the 'Merge Events with other Stargroup' option. Here we want to merge the 60 meters with 'JPA1 group 2'. You can do this by clicking on this startgroup in the list next to '60m' (see below). Then click then click 'Finish' to save this.

Now the 60m of these two startgroups is merged. The other events will still be done separately.

Combined-event events can also be merged with single events this way. This way athletes who do not do combined-events can finish the event simultaneously with the combined-events.
