ResultsHQ - House Points, Age Champion Carnival Setup

We are able to provide your school with live results upload for your Athletics, Swimming and Cross Country. This will also give you live house points along with Age champions etc. If you have not booked in yet, please do so here - https://www.timingsolutions.com.au/school-carnival-booking

These are the steps to making this all happen:

1. If you are new to us, will set up a new ResultsHQ profile for you, and send you an email to set up your user profile. 

2. We will also need the following templates populated and emailed to us so we can complete your profile setup

   • Members - includes a ResultsHQ ID# for the day

   • Program

   • Points

   • Records - Optional
3. Once these have been imported we will let you know via email, and confirm the ResultsHQ ID#s for your athletes

Now that you have access to your school profile, and it has all your athletes and your program is set up along with your points, you will have some options to consider about how to run the day.

Note we do NOT need to know before the day who is in what lane or race. This tends to be less efficient and get reworked on the day to a certain extent. We have a more efficient way to do this.

Recommended options would work like this:

• Numbering - When the athletes arrive onsite for the carnival and a roll call is done, they are asked to write their ResultsHQ ID# on their hand with a marker

Athletics

• Timing sprint races - of all lane events will be done with the start marshal/s keying in the ResultsHQ ID# into the corresponding lane on the phone/tablet via our Start line process. Note this is fine to have mixed ages and genders too in one race.
• Timing of pack races - events like the 800m and 1500m races are timed at the finish line and their ID# is keyed in against their place, regardless of age/gender. 
• Field Results - we have either paper recording sheets, then two staff members keying in the results, or you can use the CompetitionHQ app on a phone or tablet for a live recording of the event - Mobile App introduction

Swimming

• Timing races - will be done with the start marshal/s keying in the ResultsHQ ID# into the corresponding lane on the phone/tablet via our Start line process. Note this is fine to have mixed ages and genders too in one race.
• Novelty Results - we have either paper recording sheets, then one staff members keying in the results, or you can use the CompetitionHQ app on a phone or tablet for a live recording of the event - Mobile App introduction

Cross Country

• Timing of Cross Country - we use RFID Shoelace tags to record names and times in one instant - Attaching the disposable shoelace tag

Points

So now your athletes have results and it's time to see which house is winning and who are the age champions. There are two steps to making this a reality:

1. Run the points calculations to get all your latest points totals - Running points calculations
2. Checking your house totals and age champions via the Leader board - Leaderboard - who's leading the tally?

Live Results

You can view your live results and house points via the Live Results Hub which is handy for the announcer to see and call out points etc.
