This section states how to enter event results in the various types of edit boxes
related to the events chosen from the event menu shown in 8.2.1.
5.1Rules For Entering Results
For all event results two columns of edit fields, comparable to a shortened track result
sheet, are available for entering a result.
The first edit field, No., is where the competing number the athletes wore is entered.
The second, Time or Metres, is for the performance given by the timekeepers or
judges for that competing number. Additional fields are available for field wind
readings and split times where appropriate if desired. The rules for entering results
are:
- All entries must start with 1st place and be consecutive.
- All entered performances must increase or decrease as appropriate.
- Entries should be in the order in which the judges place them.
- Incomplete results are allowed where one or more teams do not enter athletes.
- A and B-string numbers must be used for joint A&B String entries.
When entering team numbers for A, B-strings or relays, either string numbers are
allowed but will be corrected if it is wrong. This means the corrected number will be
displayed if the event result is selected again. All event results can be entered or re-
entered by selecting the result and entering the new or modified result.
5.2Track Times
All performance times entered must be EITHER minutes, seconds and
tenths/hundredths OR seconds and tenths/hundredths. Minutes, seconds,
tenths/hundredths MUST be separated by a full stop. Manual and electric times can
be mixed although this is a rare practical occurrence.
E.G. Typical entries for track event results.

5.2.1Crossed Track Results
Where a B-string result is selected for entry before the A-string. A question will
appear to confirm that the B-string result is really to be entered before the A-string
result. This is to prevent accidental entry of an A-string result in a B-string result edit
box.
+-------------------- QUESTION ---------------------+
¦ ¦
¦ Do you want to enter the B result before the A? N ¦
¦ ¦
+------------------- Y-Yes N-No --------------------+
For track events where event strings take place at different times it is possible to
accidentally enter a B-string result in an A-string edit box, or vice versa. This is likely
to occur where A and B-string athletes wear the same competing number for both
strings or if the B-string result arrives before the A-string result. Some of these
occurrences, accidental or otherwise, can be detected where the B-string result is
better than the A-string result.
+----------------------- MESSAGE -----------------------+
¦ ¦
¦ The B-string result looks better than A-string result ¦
¦ ¦
+-------------------------------------------------------+
A question box will enquire if the results have been entered in the wrong edit boxes.
By answering no, the results just entered will be saved as such.
+----------------------- QUESTION ----------------------+
¦ ¦
¦ Have the results been entered in the wrong strings? ¦
¦ ¦
+---------------------- Y-Yes N-No ---------------------+
Answering yes allows the option to swap the results over. This swapping removes
the need to delete and re-enter both results.
+------------------ QUESTION -----------------+
¦ ¦
¦ Do you want to swap A and B results over? Y ¦
¦ ¦
+---------------- Y-Yes N-No ----------------+
See: 5.5 - 5.10
5.3Joint A&B Track Results
For longer track events the option to enter a joint A and B result is available. A and
B-string numbers must be used when entering a joint result. Where a B numbered
athlete finishes / appears before the A numbered athlete the A and B names and
numbers will be swapped automatically. If any teams have had the A and B athletes
swapped a message will be displayed stating the teams. A note should be taken or
printed of any such team names.
What will possibly be likely is a further swap of A and B-string names because the
athletes involved wore the wrong numbers to start with. This should be done by
selecting the joint result again and swapping the A and B numbers for the team(s)
with the crossed over athletes.
Equal places are not allowed in a joint result. If the judges do award equal places, the
joint result should be separated manually into the A and B results and entered
individually. Non scoring performances are allowed.
Once accepted, access to re-enter a joint A&B result is allowed but any non-scoring
performances may be re-ordered. Minor modifications to the result can be made via
the A or B-string choice.
E.G. Joint result for a 5 team match, note use of A and B-string numbers even when a B-string athlete beats the A-string.

5.3.1Shorthand Track Result
To assist in fast entry of longer track events a shorthand method of entry is
available where A and B string athletes compete together. The program will
translate short entry time performances to the full time.
E.G. Shorthand entry of a 5000m result, the left hand result to translated to
the right hand result.

5.4Field Results
The way field event results are entered is dependant on whether or not the option to
include and report field series performances has been used. This option is only
available for single age group programs.
Entry of a scoring performance remains the same which ever method is used i.e. all
measured distances/heights entered must be in metres and two digit centimetres
separated by a full stop.
See: 5.4.1-5.1.1. or 5.4.2-5.4.2.3, 8.6.5
5.4.1Field Distances/Heights
This method is the normal way field events are entered and allows the program to
report the best performance by each athlete in the same way as a track event result.
E.G. Typical field event entries.

5.4.1.1Checking A-String Names
All field result A-string names must be confirmed manually in a "A NAME CHECK"
box. This can be done easily as the user will have the field result card in hand.
The check is to ensure that when a B athlete beats the A athlete of the same team
the A and B names are swapped and reported correctly in any results.
If an A name is not correct it can be swapped with the B athlete for that team by
holding the left ALT key down and pressing the number of the place that has the
wrong name. If no athlete has been entered for the B-string then the place will appear
blank. It is not advisable to save blanks even if the other name is the B-string athlete.
If one or more names can not be found through swapping it is because the team
declaration(s) is(are) incomplete or not correct. In such cases do not save the result,
but update the team declaration(s), then enter the result again, this may involve
speaking to the division secretary or team manager.
E.G. Only four A-string athletes from a possible six teams.

5.4.2Field Series
In addition to printing field results the program is capable of taking all performances
for all athletes in any field event, working out and printing the event result with the
full series of field performances. This method replaces the direct reporting of the field
result and will add three additional sides to the number of final result pages. Wind
readings are still available for Long and Triple Jumps where desired.
All field performances entered are used by the program to calculate the event result.
This includes working out equal positions, swapping the A and B-strings when the B-
string beats the A-string, allowing for athletes failing to register a performance or
athletes not appearing although declared.
When a field event is selected from the Event Result menu and a measured height
decides the result of an event, (HJ & PV), an edit box will be displayed to allow the
entry of all the bar heights attempted by all athletes. When these heights are saved
a menu of the athletes declared for the event will be presented.
When a field event is selected from the Event Results menu where a measured
distance decides the result of the event, e.g Javelin, a menu of the athletes declared
for the event will be presented.
E.G. Typical athlete menu for 8 athletes (4 teams with A&B) for distance and height events.

The user must select each of the competing athletes and enter the exact details
from related line on the judges field card. A maximum of six distances or 21 bar
heights can be recorded for an athlete in the relevant event.
Regardless of the field event, the performances are entered against the athlete name
for the team. When entering field series information the following abbreviations are
allowed:
| NT | No Throw |
| NP | No Putt |
| RTD | Retired/withdrawn |
| X | One attempt height failure |
| O | Height cleared |
| - | Round or height or attempt at Height passed. |
NB: combinations of X, O and - should be used to represent actual performances by
an athlete at a height.
When performances for an athlete are saved a tick, will appear against the name
to show that an entry has been made. When all athletes have entries (non-competing
athletes/teams have been left blank), the Calculate Result item should be selected.
5.4.2.1Distance Series
When an athlete is selected an edit box to appear into which the performances for
each round are entered.
E.G. Entering and saving of six performances for A.Jumper and two performances
for O.Leaper who retired from the competition in round 2.

Prior to selecting and entering performances for athletes, the bar heights attempted
by all athletes must be entered. The heights must start on the first line, 1, and
increase consecutively. These heights must be saved to allow the menu of the
athletes declared for the event will be presented. Each athlete should be selected, the
order of selection is not important.
E.G. Entry of 16 bar heights.

5.4.2.3Confirming Field Series
When all performances reported on the field event result card have been entered the
Calculate result option should be selected. The program will then work out the event
result, swapping A and B string athletes where required.
For A and B string competitions, the A string event result will be displayed first, this
should be compared with the actual field result card. Assuming both are the same,
the A string result should be accepted thereby causing the B string result to be
shown. Again the B string result should be compared with the field card. Assuming
the B string result is the same, the result should be accepted. The whole event result
will be then be saved and printed out along with updated points totals.
For single string competitions event result will be displayed. Assuming the result is
the same as the field card it should be accepted, the event result will be then be
saved and printed out along with updated points totals.
E.G. Typical display for an A string Triple Jump result without wind readings.

Where the result displayed on screen does not match that given by the field judges,
the performances for the misplaced athlete(s) and performances should be identified.
If an error is found, the option to re-enter the result should selected, this tells the
program to ignore the calculated result and re-display the athlete names menu
allowing for one or more athlete performances to be corrected.
Where the error is in the result displayed on screen, the athlete(s) with incorrect
performance(s) should then be corrected.
Where the error is found to be in the field card, no further program action should
occur until the field judge(s) has corrected the card. The performances already
entered will remain saved even if the event result is not calculated or another event
result are entered.
5.5Equal Positions
The "=" sign should be used where two or more athletes are judged to be equal. The
"=" sign indicates that any place with the "=" is equal to that place above it. This
means an "=" sign is not allowed in first place. Points are shared equally between
those positions which have an = and the place(s) above it(them). The equal sign is
only allowed immediately before the performance.

use NIL if there is a zero reading. If no reading is taken a no reading
indication, "NWI", can be used in place of a reading.
5.6.1Track Wind Readings
For track events a wind reading is entered after the track result itself by answering
yes to a wind reading question. The reading should not be selected or left blank if no
reading(s) is(are) available. Choosing not to save a wind reading will still save the
event result.

5.10No Competitors
Where an event is cancelled in advance of the competition or where there are no
competitors for B-strings, the event the "No Competitors" option should be used to
indicate this has occurred. No points are awarded to any team for the string or event
when this option is used. If this is not done the program will be assume that the
string, or event, result has not been entered and consequently will not show the
correct count of number of events complete.
To indicate that an A or B-string event or a relay has not taken place because there
are no competitors the star character, "*", entered in the first edit field. Using double
stars, "**", in either an A or B event result entry box will automatically indicate that
both strings have no competitors.
When either no competitors option, "*" or "**", is used for a joint A&B event, both
A and B-strings have no competitors. If a no competitors entry has been used in one
or both strings of a joint A&B event and the event result is reselected the "*" will
appear to indicate this fact.
When the no competition option is used an appropriate comment is automatically
added in ENTER RESULTS|General Comments. The comment remains even if the
result is then entered later.
E.G.No competitors for the 400MH B-string.
