Fri, 30 May 2025 10:16:48 +0000

I am from South Africa, and we are exploring this amazing app. We have a Swiss timing electronic system, and would like to know whether it is compatible with this app. Would we be able to automatically import the results with a CSV file into the ahtletics.app program fromo the electronic timing system?

How to enter all 6 attempts in horizontal jumps (Long Jump and Triple Jump)?

Sun, 04 May 2025 16:26:05 +0000

How can I add all 6 attempts with wind speeds in the Long and Triple Jump? This would allow me to use the Jury/Officials app for live updates of the competition?

I have tried unchecking the box "Enter Only 1 Best Performance" but still I only see Attempt 1. See screenshot below.

After a competition has finished can I show leaderboard points?

Thu, 13 Mar 2025 08:02:20 +0000

In my original setup I did not specify the points scoring method. Now the competition has finished I went back and updated the points scoring method to WA Combined Events but the leaderboard and points for athletes does not update. Is this something I can only do in Phase 1? Is there a way to go back and have the system calculate the points?

How can I print all results for each race at the end of a meeting?

How do I create two rounds of an even in the same competition - not semi-final and final?

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 07:34:04 +0000

I want to create two rounds of the 110mH on the same day. These are two distinct events (not semi-finals and finals) to allow athletes who are running the 100m early in the program to also run the 110mH later and vice versa. Sometimes the same or different athletes may run in each round. In some instances, we would want athletes to run in both rounds 1 and 2 (e.g. in 60m indoor races).

E.g.

10:00 - 110mH Round 1

10:20 - 100m Round 1
12:00 - 110mH Round 2
12:20 - 100m Round 2

How do I create A and B finals?

Do the 0.99â‚¬ service charges also have to be paid for members of clubs that receive a 100% discount?

Since this athletics year, a service charge of 0.99 â‚¬ must be paid for online registrations. For athletes from our own club, we gave a 100% discount, making registration free of charge. Will the 0.99 â‚¬ still be charged? How can we avoid it being charged?

How do I adjust weights and heights for the shot put and hurdles?

Mon, 13 Jan 2025 18:15:18 +0000

I have organized an indoor competition. When setting up in Athletics.app, the corresponding weights and hurdle heights for the events shot put and hurdles appear automatically for each event. However, these are not correct. For example, for M40, the shot put is listed as 2 kg, while it should be 4 kg. And for hurdles, M40 is listed as 68.6, while it should be 76.2. Can I correct this myself or is this a bug?

How can I import results into our club rankings?

To what extent is it possible to add old records to our club rankings that are not currently in Athletics.app?

If so, is there an Excel import format?
If so, do we need to take into account that duplicates will be removed? So, we should not re-import achievements that are already in the rankings?

Why is my date of birth not saved in my profile (was I perhaps born on the default date?)

Mon, 11 Nov 2024 09:00:27 +0000

Why is my date of birth not saved in my profile (was I perhaps born on the default date)? This has also led to confusion during a national championship registration where the organization still had to ask for my date of birth even though it had been entered during registration (because it is mandatory).

Dear,

We used to be able to see the competition statistics of how many athletes per club were present at a competition, but unfortunately this is no longer possible... I have heard this comment/complaint many times, as this was a useful and fun overview that was viewed a lot.

Can this be made active again?

Thanks in advance. Regards, Jens

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 18:01:34 +0000

I wonder if the EDM's Bluetooth module can be linked to the jury app. This would make the measurement even more efficient. It can be done via the serial port, but that is less convenient.

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.

[SOLVED] Belgian rankings not in navigation

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 15:51:08 +0000

Dear, When I select the Netherlands in the competition menu in the Athletics.app app, I get 5 navigation options at the bottom.

Competitions
Athletes
Rankings
Notifications
My account

But when I select Belgium, the menu item "Rankings" disappears. In order to see the Belgian rankings, I have to do a lot of navigation. First I have to set the competitions to the Netherlands, then navigate to rankings and then set the rankings to Belgium. It would be easier if you would also add the "rankings" menu item when the competitions are set to Belgium.

(VAL) Foreigners should not have to pay an extra surcharge for not being affiliated.

Mon, 29 Jul 2024 13:36:51 +0000

The registration organizations have the option of using the VAL rules to let unaffiliated athletes decide if necessary.

According to the rules 5.5 (https://www.atletiek.be/admin/storage/main/wedstrijdenprogrammering-2024-v20240513.pdf) foreigners do not have to pay extra. blockquote>

foreigners can get a free day permit to start with if they can prove their
nationality with their identity card

But if the above option is selected, foreigners also have to pay an extra â‚¬10, which is not the intention. Can this be adjusted?

Duration of results on the scoreboard

Tue, 21 May 2024 10:14:54 +0000

Dear,

Is it possible to add an extra parameter for the scoreboard settings in the Desktop App?

With the intention of choosing the display time of the result.

For youth meetings, it is allowed to switch to the next athlete faster than in the open meetings.

Last Sunday during the Grand Slam meeting in Israel, I received a similar question. They would like the result to appear on the scoreboard for a longer period of time. Kind regards, Guy Kennes Looise AV

Do I get my money back if I am withdrawn from a competition and did not do this myself?

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 18:48:39 +0000

I registered for the combined-events anniversary weekend in Reusel. First I received an email saying that I had been placed on the reserve list. Then I received another email saying that I had canceled my registration. But I never canceled my registration.
I registered because I saw in the app that there was still 1 spot available for the U16. Fine if that is not the case, but I will receive a refund. It was not clearly indicated.

I would think this should be possible, but I cannot find any instructions anywhere on the site.
