Here is a list of the most important things to remember when preparing a CSV file for uploading entries. You can find all details related to importing CSV files in the Add athletes from a CSV file guide.
- For words, only the first letter should be in uppercase,
- Correct CountryCode, all of it in uppercase,
- Correct event name in English or EventCode,
- All cells empty below the last athlete on the list,
- Unique EntryId for each line,
- Correct EventStage,
- DateofBirth in the proper format (YYYY-MM-DD),
- No empty AgeGroup field (appropriate one or Auto),
- If a relay event is present, add a RelayId,
- Save the file in the UTF-8 CSV format,
- No need to add a StartListId (if you import individual events only),
- If using the column FullName, you should add first name + last name and not the opposite.
- Do not add Unattached (or similar wording) to the ClubName or TeamName columns. The field should be empty if an athlete or relay team has no club/team.
