IMPROVEMENTS

  1. Records: Previously, an existing record was required to get a new PB/SP. This has been changed so that a PB/SB will be marked when no previous record exists. In addition, initial records added to the start list will be automatically transferred to the athlete's profile and kept as a "Start list" source.

  2. Lane assignment models: World Athletics recently changed the rules for lane assignments for straight runs (60m, 60H, 100m, 100H, 110H), 200m and 400m. We have added these new lane assignment models.

IMPROVEMENTS

  1. Adding password: the option to add a password and make the meet/meeting private is no longer available with Roster web admin version 2023.05.2 going forward. Instead, use the ability to hide the meet/meeting from search results (MEETS/MEETINGS → Details → Extra → Visibility in search results → Exclude) and/or control the event visibility (for more information, see the Event visibility guide) within a meet/meeting. 


    If you have added a password to your meet/meeting before version 2023.05.2, all events will be hidden, and the meeting will be excluded from the search results.
