Submitting Meet Results

In the modern world of computers & software to generate information, and the internet & websites to distribute it, track & field coaches, athletes, parents, and fans expect to see complete results posted soon after each meet.  We at IOWATFXC.COM will do that for you.  We’re the only website that will publish complete results of every Iowa high school T&F meet, and automatically convert those results into state, division, conference, school, and athlete statistics/rankings if the results are received in compilable format.  We just need to receive your results.

For complete instructions on how to submit your results to IOWATFXC.COM, see below OR go to the Site Guide tab > How-to Guides for IOWATFXC.COM > Submitting Meet Results.

Thanks,
Lyle Knudson, editor, IOWATFXC.COM.

SUBMITTING MEET RESULTS

To submit Meet Results - There are two alternate methods for submitting meet results to IOWATFXC.COM; emailing the results to the IOWATFXC.COM webmaster and having him enter them for you OR entering the results directly.

A. To have the IOWATFXC.COM webmaster enter the results for you:
1. If you have a computer file with the results, email it as an attachment to lknudson@milesplit.com.  Almost any format is acceptable for the posting of results.  (Hy-Tek and RaceTab are most preferred, if submitted in HTML format, as they can also be compiled for statistics/rankings purposes.  Word document, Excel spreadsheet or PDF results will be posted, but can not be readily compiled to statistics & rankings.  Results scanned into photo files can not be posted or compiled.)  Identify the Name of the Meet, Meet Location, and Date(s) in the email message.
2. If the full results are posted on another website (e.g., www.aspimeetz.com, www.athlete.net, school/conference/newspaper website), email the Name of the Meet, Meet Location, Date(s), and the link to the results, to lknudson@milesplit.com .

B. To enter results to a meet directly:
1. Click on the Calendar tab.
2.  Select the season (Cross Country, Indoor Track & Field, Outdoor Track & Field) and the year.
3. Click on the meet. [Note - The meet must be on the Calendar in order to submit results.  If it’s not, email the IOWATFXC.COM webmaster at lknudson@milesplit.com with the meet information (name of meet, date, location of meet, host school) to have it added.  When added, repeat from B1.
4. When the meet information comes up, click on Add Results.
5.  In order to add results directly, you must be registered as an IOWATFXC.COM “coach” or “administrator” for your school, with an IOWATFXC.COM account (it’s free!!) and a User Name and Password.
     a.  If you have an account and a username and password, enter them and click on “Login Now” and proceed to 6.
     b.  If you do not have an account, under No Account click on “Sign Up For One Now” and follow the registration procedures.  Then wait until approved and repeat B1-5a above and continue.
6. For each “division” of the meet that you want to add results (e.g., ‘Complete Results’, ‘Varsity’, ‘Boys’, ‘3A Girls’), you must add separately. Enter the division name in the “Results/Race Name” box.
7. In a separate computer screen window (e.g., Hy-Tek, RaceTab, Raceberry Jam, 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 Meet Results box.
9. Click on Save Results.
10. Back in the Meet page, see that your results were added.
11. Repeat #4-10 for other divisions within the same meet.
12. Go to Calendar > season > year > meet > Results > divisions to see your new results live in IOWATFXC.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 IOWATFXC.COM side.
