Support Topic: Event Nominations – ResultsHQ

Introduction

Nominating athletes for events is an essential part of meet management. In the past, each athlete had to be added individually—a process that could be slow and cumbersome, particularly for large meets.

To streamline this, ResultsHQ now allows bulk event nominations and denomination using a simple checkbox interface. This new workflow reduces manual effort, improves accuracy, and provides a clear overview of athlete participation in each event.

This guide explains the updated Event Nomination process and demonstrates how to nominate or denominate multiple athletes efficiently. If you need to add an athlete to a non-natural age or gender category directly from the Results Entry screen, see Support Topic: Ability to "Age Up" Athletes in Results Entry Screen.
