As I look ahead to the Track and Field season I would like to enhance our current results database. As with Cross Country, I am finding a fairly limited database for results. In an effort to add some depth to the statistics and provided a well-rounded look at the talent in the state, I am planning to upload any results from the Spring 2010 season that I can locate. If you are a coach and have results accessible, it would be much appreciated if you would submit them to the site for approval and posting. You can find the information regarding how to do this below:
SUBMITTING MEET RESULTS
To submit Meet Results - There are two alternate methods for submitting meet results to MN.Milesplit.com: entering the results directly OR emailing the results to the MNTrackXC webmaster and having her enter them for you.
A. To add results to a meet directly:
1. Click on the Meets tab.
2. Click on Calendar.
3. Click on the meet. (Note - The meet must be on the Calendar in order to submit results. If it’s not, email the MNTrackXC webmaster at tdurbin@milesplit.com with the meet information to have it added.)
4. When the meet information comes up, click on Add Results.
5. For each “division” of the meet that you want to add/display results (e.g., “Complete Results”, “3A Girls”, “Boys 800m”), you must do so separately. Enter the name of the division in the Document Name box.
6. Under Format, select Add Pre Tags to maintain the formatting of the results to be entered, or Spreadsheet only if in spreadsheet form.
7. In a separate computer screen window (e.g., Hy-Tek, browser, Word, Excel) with the results displayed, Select and Copy the results to be added, including all headings and descriptions.
8. Paste those results in the New Results box.
9. Click on Save.
10. Back in the Meet page, see that your results were added.
11. Repeat #4-10 for other divisions within the same meet.
12. Click on Save Changes.
13. Go to Results > season > meet > results to see your new results live in Ia.MileSplit.
B. To have the MNTrackXC webmaster enter the results for you:
1. If you have a computer file (almost any format; Hy-Tek, RaceTab, or Raceberry Jam most preferred; Word docs Excel spreadsheets, or PDF's next; scanned in to photo files least) with the results, email it as an attachment to tdurbin@milesplit.com. Identify the Name of the Meet, Meet Location, and Date(s) in the email message.
2. If the results are posted on another website, email the Name of the Meet, Meet Location, Date(s), and the link to the results, to tdurbin@milesplit.com .
Submit results ASAP after the meet. With modern technology, coaches, athletes, parents, and fans expect results to be posted pronto!! We’ll do what we can from the MNTrackXC side.
