Results and Data Export
This page explains how to check results after an event and how to export data in various formats.
For how to think about photo checks, manual corrections, and handling missed finishes, see Operations Guide - Event day operations and Operations Guide - Operational decisions for trouble cases.
What to check first
It is easiest to review results in the following order.
- Confirm that records exist for everyone who finished
- For top finishers or cases that need checking, review photos and passing records
- Make manual corrections or status changes if needed
- Decide whether to publish the results now or hold them temporarily
- Export the data in the format you need
For the event-day process and the publication decision itself, see Operations Guide - Event day operations and Operations Guide - After the event. This page focuses on checks and output operations available from the result screen.
Check results
Review rankings
From the ranking tab on the event details screen, you can review result lists by category.
- Score courses: ranked by score, then by time for tied scores
- Fixed Order courses: ranked by time
- Finished participants appear above DNF cases
- Tied participants with the same score and time receive the same rank number
Review an individual result
Tap a participant to check detailed information.
- Score breakdown including visit points, quiz points, penalties, and adjustments
- Lap data with passing time and split time for each spot
- Route shown on a map
- Photos taken with Camera Punch
Administrative actions
The following actions are available from the results screen.
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Adjust score | Add or subtract points manually |
| Change status | Switch between finished and canceled |
| Set alias name | Set another display name for result output |
| Delete result | Delete a result from an event you organize |
Participants worth checking first
You do not need to review every participant in equal depth. It is usually easier to start with:
- Participants near the top of the ranking
- Participants in categories where photo checks matter
- Participants who made inquiries or reports
- Participants whose finish time or visit records look unusual
- Participants who may need DNF, cancellation, or manual correction handling
Cautions when making manual corrections
- Before correcting anything, check the evidence such as photos, passing times, or communication logs
- Apply the same standard to similar cases
- Keep notes of the reason so you can explain it later
For judgment criteria, refer to Operations Guide - Event day operations and Operations Guide - Operational decisions for trouble cases.
Publish results
If Hide results and live map is off in the event settings, rankings are automatically visible to participants.
If that setting is on, you can publish results after the event by turning it off.
Things to review before publishing
- Photo checks and manual corrections for top results are complete
- DNF and cancellation handling is consistent
- Display names and alias names are acceptable for publication
- No category should remain as provisional results
For timing of publication, also see Operations Guide - After the event.
Points to check in Team Play results
- Team rankings are shown as intended
- You can explain how teams with a retired member are handled according to the announced policy
- Staff share the same understanding of how team start time and finish time are defined
For Team Play specific rules, see Set up team play.
