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!

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).

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.

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

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]?

Add daughter to my account

Tue, 31 Oct 2023 12:08:05 +0000

I already have an account because I was a member of an athletics club in previous years. I am not currently a member again, but I may rejoin. But this is not certain yet. My daughter has recently registered and I would like to add her to my account. Is that possible or do I have to create a new account for her?
I would think this should be possible, but I cannot find any instructions anywhere on the site.

I have also tried to create a separate account for her, but this is not possible because my email address is already in use. Do I have to delete my account to make this work?

Why not see a specialty?

Thu, 12 Oct 2023 12:58:02 +0000

Hello, I am wondering why my daughter's specialty is not listed? In previous articles I read that there must be at least 10 results in that event and that there are calculation rules behind it. I am very curious to know which rules and thus on the basis of which criteria a specialty is determined?

In the youth competition, the demand for diplomas (performance charts) has been decreasing over the years. To avoid paper usage and postage costs, I am making an inventory of which clubs would appreciate diplomas. Then it would be useful if diplomas could be printed per club.

Key statement regarding athletes of umbrella clubs

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?

Adjusting the landing heights for high jump

Mon, 10 Jul 2023 21:44:11 +0000

In our competition, the only remaining athlete wanted to jump from a different height. Now we couldn't add the extra height. I had entered the initial height and subsequent heights in the web environment beforehand. I could remove the following heights, but I could not add new ones. Only after the subsequent heights had been removed in the web environment could I add the extra height in the jury app. Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?

Can a difference be made in records between indoor and outdoor 60m hurdles?

Sun, 09 Jul 2023 13:20:12 +0000

Up to the minimes girls, they run 6 hurdles in 60 meters outdoors.
In the indoor, the 60 meters hurdles are 5 hurdles. The personal records are the same for both. But these two running competitions are different.
Is it possible to indicate how many hurdles are involved?

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.

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?

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?

Deviating best performance in an obsolete number

Mon, 21 Mar 2022 15:00:45 +0000

Is it possible to enter an additional performance in another event for obsolete events (150m, 300m, etc.), such as a 100 or 200 time for the 150m?
Another option is to make the event customizable via a selection list, so that the athlete can enter an alternative time.

Furthermore, faster times will be rejected (a 100m time for a 150m event).

Can EDM be added as an option within the menu ''results settings''?

Thu, 22 Jul 2021 14:36:29 +0000

EDM is being used in more and more competitions. Now all that remains is the choice between ''photo finish (electronic)'' or ''stopwatch (manual). When only technical numbers are on the program, this is a somewhat strange designation because photo finish is not an option when electronically recording the results. Therefore, please add EDM as an option so that it is also clear to athletes that EDM is used (in addition to ET).

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,

Do not enter time in the jury app as single seconds

Sat, 24 Apr 2021 13:56:48 +0000

When using the jury app, and where we do not use ET, but want to enter hand times, you run into the fact that for times above one minute you do not have a . (period) available, only the , (comma). And if you enter a time in Athletics.app, it interprets this to consider the entered number as seconds and convert it.,

Suppose I enter something incorrectly, or is this a bug (I can enter time in minutes and seconds via laptop)?

In the case of Meters Maken (athletics champs), there is no distinction between a 4-minute run and a 6-minute run.

Mon, 29 Mar 2021 17:36:56 +0000

While preparing for an Athletics Champs competition, we noticed that for the event "covering distance", nowhere is the duration of the event specified; not in the instructions, not on the startlist and not in the results.

In accordance with the Atletics Champs instruction cards, pupils B, C and mini run this event for 4 minutes. Pupils A run this event for 6 minutes. Now pupils who become A pupils will improve their personal best on the measuring event considerably, not only because they have grown older but also because they are allowed to run for 6 minutes instead of 4, even though this is not specified anywhere. 4 minutes, even though this is not specified anywhere. Can the duration of 4 minutes and 6 minutes for pacing be added to the event settings in Athletics.app?

Hiding results in combined events does not work completely

Mon, 23 Sep 2019 14:10:29 +0000

Yesterday we organized the club championships. To keep the results exciting until the award ceremony, the results were hidden. This was successful, see image 1. But if the athletes' names were clicked on, the points totals were still visible in the athlete's profile, as can be seen at the bottom of image 2. This allowed us to see the final standings before the award ceremony.

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

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.

Edit athlete not possible if the number of available bib numbers is exactly the same as the number of athletes

Fri, 07 Jun 2019 15:45:49 +0000

For our competition (AV Daventria throwing triathlon, June 7), I entered exactly the number of bib numbers corresponding to the number of athletes for whom bib numbers were available, because I am using leftover bib numbers, and the system works in such a way that the lowest numbers are entered first, so if I want to use the number 900, I shouldn't fill in numbers 1 to 200 if I also want to use number 900. This works okay, but now I want to edit an athlete and I get the message 'not enough bib numbers available'. I don't think I need extra bib numbers to edit an athlete (e.g. the number of events, or to delete an athlete), so can this be improved?

Error message for Photofinish sync

I have noticed at various competitions that we have done with the Photofinish this year that there are problems with uploading the .lif file and downloading the lynx.evt file with the jury app. After a few attempts it works, but I find it strange that error messages often occur. This occurs with internet connections using the phone as a hotspot, but also with a fixed connection on our own athletics track. The error messages can be seen in the attached image, which is from the CD competition in Weert on May 25. Are there more people with these problems?

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.

Separation of the Athletics Champs and regular events

Thu, 15 Nov 2018 11:20:17 +0000

Dear,

As a microphone operator and trainer, I have repeatedly encountered the problem that the personal records of Athletics Champs competitions and regular competitions are combined. For example, the 60m hurdles for A-pupils and the 60m hurdles for D-Juniors. These times are now often mixed up, but the heights and intermediate distances differ. Now the fast times for younger children often end up in the older age groups because the younger children often run faster because of the low hurdles. Is it possible to keep the Athletics Champs and the classic events separate?

Regards
