Entering relay bib numbers at the photo finish

Mon, 11 Apr 2022 06:55:08 +0000

FinishLynx system, 4 x 400 relay heats. They start in lanes, then they all run in lane 1. When timing, I clear everything, then I time and fill in the Bib number ID and the last athlete appears in the results and the total time of the team. When I try to upload this to atletieknu, it doesn't work. It also doesn't work if I enter the ID number of the total team and then upload. Can I not upload this automatically and do these times have to be entered manually into atletieknu?

How do I set up an online live scoreboard for MacFinish?

Wed, 22 Jan 2020 15:45:54 +0000

How can I display the time of a running event in real time on Athletics.app? And how can I immediately display the finish times per athlete as soon as I have placed a dash in MacFinish? What do I need? And what do I need to keep in mind as an Photofinish operator?

Connect multiple Photofinish systems to Athletics.app

Sun, 13 Jan 2019 17:24:38 +0000

We use two photofinish systems from Time tronics: a main one and a backup.
Today I tried to connect both systems at the same time to the Athletics.app app. After that, one of them kept reporting connection problems.

Can the protocol handle two computers?

If so, can the app handle this? The two Photofinish computers are connected to each other with a gigabit switch and to a third computer.

Working via a hotspot / data limit / slow internet connection

Tue, 04 Dec 2018 12:18:46 +0000

We use Athletics.app in various locations. Sometimes there is a fast internet connection, but we often encounter slow internet connections. Sometimes there is no internet at all, in which case we create a hotspot using a telephone or a so-called MIFI box.
How can we make sure we use as little data as possible, so that our data bundle is not used up in one go and the internet connection is not burdened as much as possible?

ET and Athletics Champs - multiple attempts for running events

Mon, 03 Sep 2018 09:04:44 +0000

In an Atletic Champs competition, competitors can run 40 or 60 meters several times.
We work with Photofinish systems (Electronic Timing) which automatically uploads the results to Athletics.app. This means that for a competitor, a result is uploaded multiple times in Athletics.app.

The question is whether the result is added each time or whether the result is exceeded or whether in this situation I have to register the results manually.

How do I create a PPL file for the EDM?

Thu, 19 Apr 2018 13:39:57 +0000

Hello,

As the organizer/competition secretary of the Dutch National Throwing Championships, I am wondering how we can download a .PPL file for the EDM, so that they can also prepare the data for the competition in advance.

I can download an Excel file, but I can't make a ppl file out of it.

Regards,

Anneke van Jaarsveld

Why not a relay event in Finishlynx?

Sat, 14 Apr 2018 16:59:32 +0000

For the ET, I use the Sync-Tool (finishlynx) to automatically retrieve the schedule (.sch). This works fine for all distances except for the relay distances. These cannot be downloaded and therefore I have to enter them manually.
Is the secretariat doing something wrong when entering this event or is there something else going on?

Kind regards,

Rob Stappers (Head of Time Trials and HAC)

MacFinish link for late registrations

Tue, 05 Sep 2017 06:46:43 +0000

Next Friday we are organizing a MiLa, for which we are also accepting late registrations. Registrations will close half an hour before the start of an Event, at which point the heat assignments will be final (for that Event). So if I want to use the MacFinish link, I will need to download the MacFinish.zip again before the start of a new Event. Will this work? Can I assume that the series/par file numbering of the completed heats will remain unchanged?

Relays are missing from .par/.lif files

Thu, 02 Jun 2016 07:10:11 +0000

We use MacFinish with the par files in the ET. But we noticed that the relay heats were not included in this. Can those just be sent along with the work if all running events are stored digitally.
