Events

The Event menu in RACE RESULT 12 is mainly used to create new event files and to open or delete existing files, when working offline not all menu options will be accessible.

To create a new event, simply click on the button Create New Event, enter event name and date, select a template and click on Create (This function is only available when working online. Offline, new event files can be created in the RACE RESULT Web Server).

Click on an existing event to open it, or enter the event name in the search box at the top of the screen and press Enter.

To delete an event, click on the delete icon on the right (only available when working online). When deleting an event you will be asked for your login password (belonging to your customer number).

Participants Search

Using the Participants Search function you can search for participants across all your event files.

Event Groups

Event Groups is used to sort your events on my.raceresult.com into the different categories displayed. You can find more info in the Groups article.

Customer Analysis

The Customer Data Base (CRM) gives you valuable insights who your participants (customers) actually are, where and how often they race and where they are from.

Groups

The Event Groups section is located on the main page of RACE RESULT 12 online where you can create new groups and manage your existing groups.

Those Groups are used to sort your events on my.raceresult.com into the different categories displayed.

Race Organizers - Clubs - Series - Timers - Topics

Please note that one event can be added to several groups and you can also create internal only groups that are not visible on my.raceresult.com.

Creating New Groups

If you create a new group, give it a meaningful name that is easy to understand.

Public Groups

You can add your events to public groups, and you can make your group available for other users of RR12. Please use this feature responsibly. The more effectively the events are sorted, the easier it is for users to find your events on the platform:

Only add events to a group if it will improve or enhance the end user's (participant / spectator) experience.
Before creating a public group, check if such a group already exists.
If you think you need access to an existing group (club, event series, theme) then try to contact the existing timer of that group

Publish Group on my.raceresult.com

If you want the group to be listed publicly, tick the box to publish on my.raceresult.com and make sure to assign it to the relevant category. This way the group is displayed in the correct tab on my.raceresult.com and can be easily found by users.

Group Category

For the group category you have the following options:

Event Series: If you have several events that e.g. have an overall scoring, belong to a league, cup, etc.
Clubs: Add all events that are organized/hosted by the same club. Such a group could be easily embedded into a club website
Other Topics: This is a category that could make sense for other timers/organizers that don't fit any of the other categories such as events within a specific region
Timer: This category allows you as a timer to list all of your published events at once - to show prospective customers the range of your events
Race Organizer: List all events of the same race organizer to help promote other related events

Remember, all published events are listed under "All Events" on my.raceresult.com, where participants can filter by sport, date, country, etc. Listing an event in any of the above categories is an optional additional function.

Especially for Timer groups, it may make sense to tick the box to include all of your event files in this group, whenever you create a new event, it will be added automatically.

Cover picture

Uploading a header picture will make look the group page much more attractive. The optimal size for those pictures is 1150 x 212 px. Other formats will be automatically resized. If you do not upload a picture, then a default template will be used.

Logo

Upload a logo to increase your recognition value! We suggest uploading a file with a resolution of 300 x 300 px. Other formats will be resized automatically.

Contact Information

Provide contact information relevant to the group. These fields are optional but helpful to fill. Especially providing an email address gives participants and prospects an easy way to get in touch.

Sorting Algorithm

In the background, my.raceresult scores all events according to recent user activity (i.e. number of clicks, registrations, list views and more). The more popular an event is then the higher up it will be shown on recent and upcoming events.

For groups, the algorithm sums up all event scores within each group. The more user activity within a group, the more prominently the group will be shown. This also means that the sorting may update throughout the course of a day if there are multiple popular events being run.

To further refine the experience for participants, the system also checks the browser locale and will display the results from this country first. The search field detects known locations and will sort results according to the geo-location of the event/ timer’s address. If you type Berlin, search results will be sorted according to their distance to Berlin.

Editing/Hiding Information on my.raceresult.com

Groups can easily be edited / updated, and it is advisable to keep banners and logos kept up-to-date if these do change over time, a group can be hidden from my.raceresult.com at any time by disabling the option to publish the event.

For the release of the platform, we took the liberty to upload some timer logos and to sort all existing groups to the new categories, if you feel there are greater problems then please contact support@raceresult.com.

Timing Systems

The timing systems archives lists all systems which have ever been connected to RACE RESULT servers using your customer ID. Some basic information about the system is also shown.

Clicking on a system will open a window which lists all the passings files which have been uploaded for that system, the map on the left side shows the GPS position of the system at the time the file was created.

Clicking on a file will download a txt file of that passings file which can then be imported manually through the RACE RESULT 12 Timing Tab if required. Clicking Last Position will zoom in to the last known position of the device (according to the device Status calls).

Email Archives

When sending Emails through RACE RESULT 12 online, either through the Email / SMS Module, Registration Forms or Raw Data Exporters then a basic copy of the email will be kept in the archives, along with the status of the email if returned from the mail server. Clicking on an item will open a preview with the full e-mail content.

SMS Archives

When sending SMS through RACE RESULT 12 online, either through the Email / SMS Module, Registration Forms or Raw Data Exporters then a basic copy of the SMS will be kept in the archives, along with the status of the SMS.

Overview

The Overview Window provides a quick overview of your event, in particular information about registration figures & payments.

Registration Figures

The Registration Figures in the Overview Window shows information regarding the distribution of participants' registration before the Event Date.

The window consist of 2 sections: the Registration Chart, showing a graph with Cumulative, Day, Week and Month views, and the Registration Figures showing how many participants registered for each contest on which day, expressed as D-X where D is the event date and x is the number of days before this date.

It is also possible to Compare the registration figures with another event which is owned by the same account, useful to compare year-on-year registrations for the same event for example.

Leaderboard

The Leaderboard in the Overview Window shows the winners or current leaders of the event. Through the settings at the bottom of the screen, you can select a Ranking and a number x so that the first x participants in each group of the ranking will be shown.

If you would like to show different columns (or use a different format), you can also select a List from which the column settings will be taken.

Enable the Auto Update checkbox to auto refresh the page every 30 seconds.

Notes

The Notes section in the Overview Window can be used to write down notes and to keep track of Todo's.

Online Payment Summary

The section Online Payment in the Overview Window shows all transactions of the Online Payment and a summary over the monthly payouts. In the Online Payment Overview you can also cancel payments if necessary. For deferred SEPA Direct Debits this may be necessary in case your event gets cancelled.

Technical Information

The section Technical Information in the Overview Window shows some important information about your event file like number of participants, times, or raw data entries.

Additionally, it shows the scoring dependencies among your Results, Ranks, and Team Scores and warns if the file has any Circular References. You can also download a copy of your event file from here.

Main Window

Primarily, Main Window serves to define the settings of your event file, as well as to import, check, change and delete participant data.

Settings

These are the fundamental settings for any event which primarily determine the data structure for the event and a number of core functions which are used throughout the software.

Participant Data

Timing Settings

Timing Setup defines which times you expect to record for a participant and how these times should be used. There are three key points to the timing setup:

Timing Points - The points at which you will record Raw Timing Data ("Chip Reads"). For example the START, FINISH or your Split Timing Points on course.

Start Times / Finish Time Limits - The official start time (T0) to be used for timing the race, this is used by your Splits or Special Results setup to calculate race times. Optionally in some cases a maximum time.

Splits: The setup of Timing Points in the order they will be crossed in the race and when, allowing calculation of times and ranks.

For more complex setups where Splits cannot be used it may be necessary to use Special Results under Advanced Scoring Settings.

Advanced Scoring Settings

For more complex races or for custom scoring methods you may need to define Advanced Scoring Settings, there are 3 types of advanced scoring settings.

Special Results - Results are fields associated with a time, which can be pulled/calculated from Raw Data or calculated from Splits / other data. Results may be required for certain event types such as variable lap races.

Rankings - Checking the configuration of rankings, for example overall/gender/age group rank.

Team Scores - Optionally, defining team scores. A team score will, for example, sum up the times of best three athletes of each club and create a ranking over the team time.

Note: By default, an event file already has overall/gender/age group rankings. You need to work on the rankings only if you want them to be calculated in a different way or if you want to calculate additional rankings.

Participants

The Participants Window serves to add new participants and to edit existing participants. Times and ranks can also be controlled and edited if need be.

The Participants Window was already introduced in the RACE RESULT 12 Introduction which covers adding / changing data and looking up participants.

Read more about how to configure Participant data to choose which data fields are shown in the General Tab.

List View

The left side of the Participants Window presents participants in a list view and gives an overview of all participant records in your event file. A list of your recently viewed participants will be shown at the bottom to quickly get back to a particular participant.

Navigating & Editing Participants

The navigation bar allows you to create new participant records, delete participant records or scroll through the list of participants. When using the navigation buttons for first/previous/next/last these will consider the sorting in the list view for the sorting of participants.

Clicking a participnt in the list view will open that participants full details in the right side of the window allowing all their data to be viewed / edited.

Note that the list of participants will be cached by the browser so when importing new participants or editing large batches of data you may need to reload the data using the reload button in the navigation bar.

Sorting / Searching & Filtering

By clicking on the head of a column you can sort the table by this column. Press the same column head a second time to sort in descending order.

The textboxes underneath the column headers can be used for filtering the list. Simply enter a value to search, or some fields will provide a drop down with multiple selection values.

Additionally at the bottom of the list view there is a drop-down with some quick options for sorting from A-Z.

Configuration of Columns

Besides the standard columns you can add other columns to the List View or hide columns not needed. To change the visible columns hover over the columns icon at the bottom of the list view, an overview with all available fields will pop up, allowing you to check and uncheck the fields.

Email / SMS Module

The Email / SMS Module allows for bulk sending of Email/SMS Templates to participants.

Select a template from the dropdown and a list of all messages to send will be populated below. You can additionally check if the filter is correct and adapt this if necessary.

Clicking on an item from the list will show a full preview of the message on the right side, note that individual e-mails cannot be edited.

If a participant does not have a valid email address, it will be marked red with <no email address entered>.

At the bottom of the list you can see the number of messages which will be sent, and how many cannot. Clicking the Send button will start sending the messages, note that these are sent individually and so you need to keep the window open until sending is complete.

Entry Fee

If using online registration and payment through my.raceresult.com you can review each participants payment details.

Type displays the following;

Entry Fee - A break down of each fee due according to the entry fee table.
User Fees - Transaction fees based on the selected payment option.
Payment - Any payment which has been received for the entry.

The Payment details also provide a unique payment reference and ID, the payment method, date and time and also the amount billed / received.

Below this are 2 sets of information;

"OPEntryFee - EntryFee" - The entry fee which has been billed subtract the total amount due for the entry.
"OPBalance" - The actual amount received minus what is owed, if negative then not paid completely, if positive then too much has been paid.

OPBalance may be non-zero if the participant changes contest / details which affect the entry fee they should have paid.

Results

The Results tab shows the relevant information according to your timing and scoring setup for that participant.

The Results Tab will show different tables for Splits, Legs and Results, Ranks, Team Scores and Participant Attributes, each showing the corresponding information.

For each Split the table shows Time of Day, time from Gun, time from Chip, Rank (from Gun or Chip according to the Contest Time Mode), Sector time (from previous Split) and Speed.

For splits which have not yet been reached or are missed then the Predicted Times are shown, a predicted time can be turned in to a manual Raw Data Record by clicking the + symbol. The Time of Day can then be edited and saved by pressing the enter key.

The Rank includes a drop-down to switch between Overall, Gender, Age Group or None, speed shows the SpeedOrPace field for the sector according to the default format of the split.

For each Leg the Rank, Leg Time and Leg SpeedOrPace is shown, the Rank is controlled by the same dropdown as per the Splits table.

Results are listed in order of the Result ID with T0 always listed first, Ranks and Team Results are shown in order of their ID so you can quickly look up an individual's rank.

Using Raw Mode a Result can be manually overwritten by hovering over the result and selecting the edit icon. The result field will become editable. Once entered the adjusted result will turn red indicating the time has been overwritten. Should the raw data be recalculated, the overwritten value will remain.

To delete the overwritten result, select the red cross next to the result to return the raw data calculation. If you need to delete all overwritten results refer to Delete Overwrite Values.

History

The History records all changes made on a participant's record. This concerns all data fields such as name, contest, additional fields or status of the participant.

You can review all these changes in the Participants Window in the History tab, here you can see all of the changes which have been made to which field, and by which user or software tool. Additionally you can revert changes either individually or in bulk, by using the checkboxes.

In case there are a lot of changes in your Event File, the history might inflate the file. You can delete all History entries via the Delete Data function.

The history can also be downloaded as an excel for an individual participant or for all participants if you need to review bulk changes or as a backup before deletion.

Certificates

The certificates tab provides a quick way to preview and print / download a participants certificates. A Certificate will be generated for each layout regardless of Certificate Sets.

Simply click the certificate you wish to view and a preview will be generated which you can download / print straight from the preview window.

Timing Raw Data

When working in Raw Data Mode all of the passings for a participant are saved to the event, you can view all of a participants data in the Participants Window - Timing Raw Data tab.

Here you have every recorded passing for the participant, technical information about the passing, and which result the passing has been used for, if any. See Passing Information for more details about understanding the technical information.

If a time should be ignored then untick the box in the first column and the time will be greyed out and ignored for raw data calculations, re-tick the box to use it again. Results will be re-calculated automatically.

If you have missing passings or need to enter additional raw data then you can do this below the table, just select the timing point and enter the time. You can enter the time as time of day, or as a race time / split time and then have the option to add T0 or any other result to this time, useful if you have a net time for a participant or need to add a missing split without calculating the time of day.

If you want to save a copy of all the raw data for review then the export function allows you to export all raw data for just the current participant or all participants.

Output

The Output Window is used for the presentation / displaying of data, broken down to 5 categories (accessible from the buttons in the top-left corner).

Lists

The most important method for getting data out of RACE RESULT 12. Create any list of data - whether for printed results, publishing online results, results screens, tools for the announcer, your own checklists for verifying results or any custom report you need.

Certificates

A design tool for creating layouts with text and images on a page. They are mainly used for race certificates, but also for individual result print outs or to create receipts/invoices.

Certificate Sets

Determine which participants should receive a particular certificate, these sets can then be printed or published online or accessed through tools such as the Results Kiosk.

Labels

Create label sheets with rows and columns for printing personalised labels

Statistics

Create standard or custom statistics from the participants data.

The bottom left contains a filter for Contests, by default Outputs will automatically be loaded for All Contests, but you can quickly filter an output to specific Contests by selecting them from this list, or select multiple Contests using the checkboxes when hovering an item.

Lists

Lists show a defined set of fields for a specific set of records. The settings of a list determine:

which participants are shown
which data fields (columns) are shown
how the records are sorted
how the records are formatted
how the page is formatted (page format, margin etc)

Lists are additionally sorted into categories. By clicking the category head, the category can be collapsed and uncollapsed. To create a new category, click the New List Category link at the top. You can also rename List categories.

Lists can be sorted manually via drag&drop. Therefore move the cursor to the free space left of the list name. You can also drag&drop the list into another category. To sort the lists in a category alphabetically, click the icon. Empty categories will be deleted automatically when you reload the window.

Clicking the name of an output list opens an overview page for that list.

The settings of a list are split into the tabs Data/Format and Page. Data/Format contains all settings regarding the data shown on the list and how it is formatted, whereas the Page settings concern the general page layout and are only relevant for the PDF and HTML output form.

To view a list click the View button or tab, this can also be opened in a new window, lists can also be opened directly to the View tab by double clicking the list name from the menu. A PDF view of the list can also be previewed or downloaded.

Lists can also be exported in different formats as EXCEL, CSV, XML, TXT and HTML.

Certificates / Certificate Sets

Contrary to a List, a Certificate creates a page for each participant. Texts and pictures can be placed freely on the page. A certificate primarily serves to:

Print name, time, etc. on a pre-printed certificate during the event.
Displaying/Printing of certificates on my.raceresult.com (complete with background image).

In addition, certificates can be used for:

other print-outs, such as confirmation of registration, invoices, receipts, lap reports at a 24h-race, etc.
Background image for a List
Cover sheet and closing page for a List
Content of Labels

Certificate layouts should first be created in the Certificates tab which opens the design tool to create different layouts for different purposes.

Once you have a certificate setup, Certificate Sets define for which participants a certain certificate will be created. You can edit the settings of a Certificate Set by clicking on Settings after selecting the certificate set in the Output Window.

Certificate Sets serve to print sets of certificates. To print out single certificates, go to the Certificates tab in the Participants Window.

Labels

Labels are normally printed on pre-cut label sheets and allow you to place either text or a certificate design on each label.

The Label Settings determine the basic layout and template for the labels.

Participants

A Filter that defines for which participants a label will be created.

Sorting Fields that define how the labels will be sorted.

Content

Enter an Expression that defines the content for each label.

Other

The Directional layout (row / column direction) of the labels.

Optionally a design to be printed instead of the Expression, see Labels with Design, if a design is selected then it can be edited directly through the Layout tab.

Optionally replace the content of the label with an automatically generated Barcode for each label, the barcode will include the bib number.

Font

Define the font, font size, formatting and alignment for text.

Page

Page settings for each sheet, these are normally provided by the manufacturer of the label sheets.

Label

The individual label sizing / spacing, these are normally provided by the manufacturer of the label sheets.

Once the settings are defined you can preview, download and print the labels through the Labels tab, an example might look like this.

Statistics

Every new event file has numerous default Statistics, for example Club Statistics that shows the number of participants per contest and Club:

Dynamic Formatting

Dynamic Formatting allows to format the individual records of Lists and Certificates differently, for example men could be printed in blue and women in pink.

An Expression is used which generates a text with formatting instructions. This expression is entered for lists in the Extended Column Settings and for Certificates.

The formatting text can contain several instructions which are separated by semicolons:

Element1;Element2;...

These elements can be:

B	Bold
I	Italic
U	Underlined
S	Strike-Through
AL	Align Left
AC	Align Center
AR	Align Right
C(X)	Font Color X
BG(X)	Background Color X
T(X)	Transparency level (0-100%)
BTC(X) / BRC(X) BBC(X) / BLC(X)	Border Top / Right / Bottom / Left Color X
BTW(X) / BRW(X) BBW(X) / BLW(X)	Border Top / Right / Bottom / Left Width X
FS(X)*	Font Size X in pt
OC(X)**	Outline Text Color X
OW(X)**	Outline Width X Value 0-5 in 0.5 increments

* only applicable to outputs in PDF and certificates in Designer. For PDF outputs X must be smaller than the default font size.
**only applicable to certificates in the Designer

Possible color values are:

HTML colors, e.g. #FF3300
RGB colors, e.g. 255,51,0
CMYK colors, e.g. 0,100,89,20

See more information on colours HERE

Examples
A field will be printed italic for women:

 if([Sex]="f"; "I"; "")

A field is formatted with a red background and white text for participants with Age less than 18.

 if([Age]<18; "BG(#FF0000);C(#FFFFFF)"; "")

A field is marked red for participants from USA:

if([Nation.IOC]="USA"; "C(255,0,0)"; "")

Colors

The Colors of the text elements on Lists and Certificates can be adjusted. By default all texts are shown in RGB-black.

RACE RESULT 12 supports RGB colors as well as CMYK colors.

The colors of the columns in a list can be edited in the Extended Column Settings. You can use the following formats:

a hex value, like in HTML (RGB), e.g. #FF3300
RGB as a decimal value, e.g. 255,51,10
CMYK as a decimal value, e.g. 30,30,30,100

In Certificates, both RGB and CYMK colors can be set via the tool bar at the top of the screen.

With the help of Dynamic Formatting, fields can be formatted differently for each data record.

The following website is useful for picking colours and can convert between HTML, RGB and CMYK: https://html-color-codes.info/

my.raceresult.com

The my.raceresult.com tab serves to configure the registration and results platform my.raceresult.com and to handle inquires from my.raceresult.com

Basic Settings

Sub Page Settings

my.raceresult.com contains multiple sub pages for each event which can be used for different purposes, and can be hidden / displayed separately.

Other

Timing

The Timing Tab is used to connect to your RACE RESULT timing systems and includes the Data Exporters for forwarding of data to third party software/systems, it also contains a group of other tools designed to make Timing a race as simple and easy as possible. It should be your go-to window when timing an event.

Chip Timing

When opening the Timing Module you will first be presented with the Chip Timing window, which gives you a brief overview of your timing systems and the first steps to timing a race.

This window can be used for most types of races if you have everything setup already, the functionality of parts of the Chip Timing window is explained in the additional sections below.

Alternatively there are advanced options on the other windows for more complex requirements such as when you have multiple Timing Systems to monitor and some additional tools which are useful during the event. Connecting to systems and the additional tools and functions are described in the sections below.

Details

Settings

In order to make the Timing more streamlined we moved a number of key settings to the new Timing Module so that they are just a click away.

From here you can edit: Start Times (T0) / Finish Time Limits , Chip File and Automatic Timing Point Selection

This section also includes the setup for Raw Data Exporters + Tracking Forwarding.

Analysis

Under Analysis you will find some tools which are useful for analysing your event whilst it is ongoing, these are designed you aid you with Timing the event by identifying any erroneous data, most often caused by participant error.

Contest Overview

This gives you an overview of each contest, showing the number of participants signed up, started / on-course and finished in each contest. Hovering over any of the segments gives a breakdown by gender also. You will also see a running clock next to each Contest which shows the elapsed time since T0.

Time Visualisation

Time Visualisation is a very helpful tool to check if participants miss reads and if times are realistic, or in other words to identify cheaters.

The tool shows one line for each participant. The different colors represent the section times between two split timing points. The length of the bar represents the time and the fastest athletes are at the top.

If you click a line you will see the details and can immediately disqualify the participant.

Use the settings bar on the left to select the contest(s), gender, status or apply any other filter, you should also select the splits or results that will be part of the visualisation. Sometimes you may want to exclude certain times. Usually you will want to see just the key timing data for each Timing Point, not the intermediate split times. A label can be applied to each line, this could be particularly useful when comparing multiple contests together.

If you only want to see participants who are missing data then click "Atypical Participants Only", the view also has a live update checkbox which will refresh the visualisation as new Results are calculated, this is useful for monitoring a race whilst it is in progress.

Best Practice Tip: If you have a large number of splits and the data does not make sense, try deselecting Timing Points to just keep the important Results which show where somebody is on the course as opposed to split times between 2 Results. Sometimes participants standing at the side lines can cause some erratic data as the Visualisation cannot determine the correct order of the Timing Points, it is often best to ignore this data in the participant record.

Read Rates

Read rates offers additional analysis of Splits to compare detection rates across the Primary & Backup timing points and also considering any manual raw data entries.

For each Split the expected number of participants is calculated, either based on the number of finishers (if Finishers only is ticked) or by the number of participants seen at this Split or a later one. This is then used to calculate the percentage of participants detected at the main timing point, backup timing point, a combined rate across both, the number of manual reads and the total participants detected at this point across all.

A table is generated for each Contest independently and the total read rates across all Splits is also shown at the bottom of the table.

An additional optional filter can be applied.

Leaderboard

If you would like to show different columns (or use a different format), you can also select a List from which the column settings will be taken.

Enable the Auto Update checkbox to auto refresh the page every 30 seconds.

Check Start Times vs. Contest

Check Start Times vs. Contest is a helpful tool to find particiants who started in a contest other than the one they registered for. In particular when using Raw Data Mode, these may have no times in their results at all because all raw data detections are filtered due to the wrong contest. In consequence it would be difficult without this tool to find these participants.

Preconditions

Please consider the following preconditions for the tool to work:

Only works with advanced Results at this time
The timing system is running on time of day
Start times will be kept
The result that holds the start time is selected as Start Result in the Contest Settings.

What you see

Underneath the headline with the name of the contest, those participants are listed that are registered for that contest, but started probably in another contest.
The area with gray background color shows the time span the majority of participants needed to complete the proposed contest.
The red bar, on the contrary, shows the time span of the contest the participant is actually registered for.
The vertical lines show the participants' chip reads. The legend at the bottom of the screen shows which color belongs to which timing point.
If there are many reads of the same chip with only small gaps in between, the reads may appear like a bar.

Making changes

You can either change the contest of the participant or change the status (for example to DSQ). When clicking on the bib number, the Participants Window shows on the right side of the screen and you can check the Raw Data in detail before making any changes.

Exporters / Forwarding

The exporter feature built in to the Timing tab of RACE RESULT 12 can be used to trigger the sending of data to external sources, this can be used to either send E-mail / SMS templates or export timing data to other systems such as third party timing software, tracking partners, LED clocks and more.

Exporters include some built-in functionality for specific partners but it is designed to be fully flexible to support a wide range of uses.

The exporter runs on both online and offline versions of RACE RESULT 12.

Tools and Programs

Presenter

Presenter is used to create displays for primarily on-site results presentation, announcers or for other staff / volunteers to easily access data.

Within an event file multiple templates for presenter displays can be created, each of which can be accessed by a unique URL, this allows different templates to be defined for different purposes. The URLs can be accessed without logging in to RACE RESULT 12 meaning they can easily be shared without giving full access to the event file. By default, you will find three presenters in your event file: Chip Check, Present Results, and Show Last Chip Reads.

Displays may contain multiple screens which can be switched manually, using a touch screen or using the FN-Keys 1-4.

Checkin Kiosks

The Kiosks provide a flexible tool for looking up and editing participant data during an event for example at registration, or giving access to individuals to easily lookup and edit fields without providing full access to RACE RESULT 12.

Within an event file multiple templates for kiosks can be created, each of which can be accessed by a unique URL, this allows different templates to be defined for different purposes.

The given name to each kiosk will be shown in participants' history, when changes are made: in this way, you can always retrieve from which kiosk (and user) a change has been made.

Manual Timing

The Manual Timing tool can be used to record times manually for each participant, whether as a primary split or finish time or as a manual backup. It can also be used to connect to serial devices which transmit data.

Result Kiosk

Athletes can use the Result Kiosk tool to check and/or print their result/race certificate on race day, most commonly it is used with a thermal receipt printer so participants can get a quick print out of their Results / Ranks to take home. It can be found in the Tools menu.

Settings

Make sure to define the following important settings:

Decide if the user can view and/or print his race certificate. If you would like to support printing, RACE RESULT Web Server needs to be running.
Select one or more Certificate Sets that can be shown/printed for each contest.
Opitionally, you can add customs texts, automatically set an Additional Field and forbid multiple print outs for the same participant.

Input

The input field can search from either Bib or Name fields or lookup by Transponder Code when using alpha-numeric chip codes (note that standard passive transponders mapped in a chip file cannot be used at this time).

You can use the RACE RESULT Decoder. Tag Reader or USB Timing Box to scan transponders directly in to the search bar. To connect to a device click the connection icon in the top right of the search input, this will list available devices below and allow you to connect directly to the device for input of Transponder code. The RACE RESULT Web Server must be running for this.

Windows-Based Tools

Note that all of the functionality from the windows-based tools has been replaced by an alternative in the browser, and so there should only be rare cases where these are required.

Most of RACE RESULT 12 is run directly from the browser page, however the standard installation also includes some tools as separate windows-based programs which run independently from the main web server.

Each of these can connect to either a local file, a web server on the local network or the online web server.

To connect to the event file you are working on open the relevant program, and open the File menu, select either 'Open Event' to open an SES file or Connect to Sports Events Server.

To connect to a web server on the local network enter the IP address of the web server or enter events.raceresult.com to connect to an online file and click connect, you will then need to enter your customer ID and password if connecting to the online server.

The open files in the web server or your available online files will be listed below and can then be opened by the program.
