Setting up Event Info
Log in first.

If you have an account and password, you should Login. You will be faced with a page that has all the pertinent links for you. You should see all your races and your most recent anouncements. When you are logged in, links marked "edit" will appear in the event list and in the event details page.

Permanence

This data appears on the race information sheets and in other places around the website. ( You and/or I will enter it once and then the server uses it many times - if you change it, then the changes are immediately applied elsewhere )

Print out what you've got.

At this point, you should go to the event's listing on the Event List and print out your details page as it now stands. Then the following descriptions will make more sense.

Fields

  • Name of the Race: This is the full name of the event such as "Holiday Open" or "Karl A. Acker Memorial."
  • Date: self explanatory
  • Level: Used mostly on the calendar and in the filtering of the lists. Choose from the pulldown list.
  • Gender: Can also indicate whether men or women run first.
  • Type: Race type: SL, GS, etc.
  • Mountain: I think the mountains are all available. This will link (later) to directions for parents. If you have the time, hop over to the mountain info and check some of the details there.
  • Governing Body: Under what rules set is this race being run?
  • Racecode: Assigned by USSA. If you know it, please enter it. If you don't know it now, please come back and enter when you do. We will be linking to Geoff Elder real-time scoring using that link.
  • Age Groups: Check all that apply.
  • Fees and Deadline sample: $25 by 3/13; $35 after.
  • TD: Pick the TD's name if you are absolutely sure you know it.

Update

Hit the button marked "Update" to send the changes in. If you are unsure or you change your mind there is a link marked "On second thought, ..." When you get to the details page again, you might have to hit "refresh" to see the new data, as your browser might be showing you the page from its cache instead of getting the new data from the server. If you see a mistake after refreshing, you can simply redo the edit process.

You're good.
Now it's time to check out your club. Switch to HELP - Set up club data, unless you've already been there. In that case, don't get into an endless loop!

Note:
As of august 2003, the fields for start time, inspections, trail, and the other info were removed since everyone seemed to include this stuff in their factsheets anyway.
