Recording finishes

Finish by bib

The bib field already has the focus. The time is taken at the moment you press Enter, counted from the athlete’s start.

1. With the start running, keep the method on TIME.
2. When the athlete touches, type the bib and press Enter (or click Record).
3. Check the message: Time recorded. and the athlete’s name. The field clears and is ready for the next one.

When the desk cannot link the finish, it becomes an unmatched finish (no athlete) and the message explains why: bib not entered in the event, withdrawn entry, start not found, or an athlete who already had a time. Nothing is lost — link it later (below).

Status by bib

Switch the method to DNF, DNS, DSQ or OTL, type the bib and press Enter: the athlete gets that status. The method goes back to TIME after each entry.

Unassigned finish (no bib)

Couldn’t read the number? Click Unassigned finish or press the + key in the bib field. The time is captured at the click; you can record several in a row. They appear under Unmatched Finishes.

To link one:

1. In the Unmatched Finishes list, click Link to athlete.
2. Search the athlete by name or bib and click Link.
3. If the athlete already has a time, choose Replace time or Swap times.

Discard finish deletes the unmatched finish (no undo).

Manual entry

To enter times written on paper, turn on Manual entry: type the bib, Enter, the Race time, Enter. Esc goes back to the number. A bib not entered in the event, or an athlete who already has a time, becomes an unmatched finish.

Bulk entry

From the Settings › Tools gear, open Bulk Time Entry. Paste one line per athlete in the format bib time (for example, 102 1:23:45.678 or 55 23:45.6) and click Process N line(s). Lines with errors are flagged.

Note

Once the event is official, nothing can be recorded: the field shows Event official! No more times can be entered… Reopen the event to make corrections (Setting as official and recalculating).
