Guide Enter Results
Once the events are set up you can begin to enter competitors into events. Some consideration should be given to this so as to determine what will work best for your carnival. If it is necessary to generate marshalling lists prior to the carnival then it will be desirable to enter all competitors into races before the carnival begins. However it is often more convenient to simply enter the competitors and the results as they events are completed.
To begin entering competitors into events or to enter results against a competitor push the Enter Results button. A form showing a number of filter options on the left hand side is displayed along with the events matching the filter on the right hand side. Once the appropriate events are displayed you can edit them by either double-clicking on it or by selecting it and pushing the Edit Selected Race button.
Another form is displayed showing the event details at the top of the form and a list into which competitors can be entered at the bottom of the form. The lane, name, place and result for each competitor can be entered by clicking in the list and typing (or selecting from the list) the appropriate information. It will be useful to note the following:
- There is no need to use a mouse at all in the section. You can move between fields and records by using the Tab key or the Shift+Tab key. The drop-down list can be displayed by moving to that field and pushing Alt+Down-arrow keys together.
- If a competitor is not displayed it may be due to age restrictions applied by the event. Make sure the competitor is the correct age. If necessary, you can push the Select from all Names checkbox to display all competitors in the carnival.
- The race is automatically flagged as Complete when there is a result against each competitor’s name irrespective of the number of competitors in the event.
- Places will be automatically generated if results are entered.
- As in all forms such as this one, records can be deleted by clicking on the record selector and pushing the delete key.
