Do you want to test the platform before organizing/organising your first competition with Roster? Add a test meet/meeting and check out all the features we have.
To add a test meet/meeting, select Testing as the Meeting type when creating a meet/meeting (follow the Set up a meet/meeting guide). This action will automatically exclude the meet/meeting from the search results (public website and mobile app). The test meet/meeting results will also be excluded from the athletes' records and will not be sent to any statistic databases.
To see your test meet/meeting on the Roster public website, go to the Details → General → Public link. Remember the link is available when the Meet/Meeting status is set to Scheduled, Open or Finished.
Once your test meet/meeting is added and hidden for regular users, you can start testing the platform by using all features in the usual way. Check out all our User Guides.
Please note:
- Do not add fake athletes, relays, clubs or teams (there is no separate database for test meets/meetings, so please do not add data that could be incorrect, including fake names, wrong dates of birth, etc.). However, you can use the test athletes and the test relay profiles from our CSV test file (the file is attached below the guide).
- When adding (real) athletes, try adding full birth dates and correct genders.
- Remember the above also when importing a CSV file with start lists. Please check the Checklist for importing CSV entries guide to see what you should pay attention to.
- We recommend adding the word TEST to the meet/meeting name.
- To test registration, you must first enable a Stripe account by providing the correct information for your organization/organisation. Read more in the Organizers/Organisers: Enabling Stripe account guide.
- When your test is done, you can remove your test meet/meeting by clicking on the Delete button in the upper right corner of the Details tab. Also, please remember that you cannot remove meet/meetings with registration enabled.
