When your competition is ready, you can start adding results. We recommend using one of the supported photo-finish timing systems (please see our Sports Timing Integrations guides for more details) or the Meet Mgmt app with the Manual Timing feature (please see Manual Timing for XC and road running guide for more details) to add results for distance events. However, you can also add all results manually in the web admin system. You can do this under the Results tab.



This guide is divided into the following sections:



Events list


Select an event from the list on the left side. You can change the sorting of events by clicking on the icon in the Search field and selecting Sort by either Event name or Event time.


You can also filter events by Gender and hide Breakdowns and Finished events.


The search option lets you look up an Event name, a Participant name, or a Participant BIB. When selecting the participant (name or BIB) option, you can choose whether to automatically filter start lists to show only the searched participants.



You can also search for participants directly on the start list by clicking Athletes and entering the participant's name. The same option is available for Bib number.



Adding results and places


You can add results in the Result column, and the Places will be calculated automatically. Alternatively, you can add results and places manually if the Calculate places option is disabled under Automatic calculations.


Enabling or disabling the automatic calculations applies to all groups of a given event stage (including the summary group).

You can add values without punctuation if the Auto-format results option is enabled.


You can add results in SS.sss format if the Auto-format results option is disabled.



Sorting participants


You can change the sorting method to make entering results easier, e.g., when copying them from a scoresheet. Under options, there are two methods: Sort by place and Sort by lane/order.



Records


When entering results, any records set will appear automatically under the results. However, you can change all records manually by disabling Calculate records under Automatic calculations under Options.


Please note: enabling or disabling the automatic calculations applies to all groups of a given event stage.



Status (DNF, DQ, DNS)


If an athlete did not finish the race (DNF), was disqualified (DQ), or did not start (DNS), you will need to change the athlete's Status to the appropriate one.

You can collectively mark all participants without a result as DNS. To do so, select Mark DNS from the options menu.

 



Notes (athlete)


Click the link under the Notes column if you wish to add a text note for this specific athlete.



You can add Public notes visible in the Roster Athletics app, the Meet Mgmt app, the public website with start lists and results (https://meets.rosterathletics.com/), and CSV and PDF files (start lists, results and scoresheet). You can use this field to add information about Yellow Card (YC), Second Yellow Card (YRC), Red Card (RC), Lane infringement (L), Bent knee (>), Loss of contact (~), pacemakers and more. 


You can also add Internal notes visible ONLY in the web admin and the Meet Mgmt app for other users who have permission to access the competition. 


Notes can be as long as needed, but they may be trimmed in some views. Notes are visible and can be added/edited on start lists and results.



Marking an event as finished


After adding all results, click on the FINISHED trigger. The event will be marked with a checkmark in the Roster Athletics mobile app and on the Roster website. This will also trigger any individual or team competition points calculations for this event if the competitions are enabled, and update athletes' records in their profiles.



Results are marked by two timestamps for (i) the last entered result (Last change), and (ii) when the event is marked finished (Marked finished). This information can be used to determine a potential deadline for a protest. The timestamp occurs when the information is made public (i.e., saved on the server), not when it is entered in offline mode in the Meet Mgmt app or typed on a paper scoresheet.


Once you click on the FINISHED trigger, you cannot undo this step, but you can still edit all the results.



Hand timing


To use hand timing for event groups, please see the Set schedule guide to enable this feature.


For event groups where hand timing is used, enter results rounding up to the nearest tenth of a second, which will have the following format (MM.SS.s).


In the event Summary (if the event includes at least two groups), the displayed results will have the designation "h" next to the hand-timed results. The "h" will also be visible in PDF files with results, the mobile app and the Roster website.


Important note: changing the timing method of a group with existing results will remove all results for that group.



Internal notes


As a user responsible for entering results, you can add a note to the event results, e.g. if you want to have internal information for the primary judge or the organizer/organiser. Select Edit notes from the options menu to add or edit a note.



If the event/group has a note, you will find an icon next to the event name in the upper-left header and in the list of events.


These notes will not be publicly visible to athletes, users of the Roster Athletics app, or the public competitions website with results. Only users with permission to read or edit the competition can see them.
