How do I post the run order so families can see their wave and time?

Import the run order on the competition page, check the preview, then press Post on the site. Families can then find their athlete's wave and time.

Where: Programs > Competitions > (a competition) > Run order

Who can do this: Owners, Managers

The run order lists every athlete by division and wave with their start time. Once it is posted, families find it on your website, and athletes can also get it by email.

Before you begin

  • You need the run order from your league (see send athletes to WNL for the round trip) or from your own planning.
  • Owners can change the athlete email settings; owners and managers can import and post.

Steps

Import

  1. Open Competitions, press the competition, and press Run order in the jump menu.
  2. Paste the run order into Run Order Text the way WNL sent it: division headings followed by numbered athletes, or a table with Division, Athlete and Time columns. For example a line like 1 Max Cardinell 10:02.
  3. Press Import. If there was one before, it is replaced.
  4. Open Preview to check the divisions, waves, positions, athletes and times.

Post it

  1. Press Post on the site. The heading now shows posted and the page address is shown.
  2. To take it down press Hide from the site. Clear deletes the imported run order after you confirm.

Emails to athletes (owners)

Under the league card there is an Emails to athletes box with these options:

  • Email each athlete their run order when it goes to scoring. Each family gets their division, wave, position, check-in time, start time and who else is in their group.
  • Send reminders before competition day. A reminder goes out the evening before at the hour you set, and a morning reminder at 6 AM for check-ins after 8:00.
  • Check In This Many Minutes Before Their Group Starts (0 to 180).
  • Evening Reminder at (Hour, 12-21).

Press Save. If a run order is ready, press Email every athlete their run order now to send them right away. Families who already got the same details are not emailed again.

What you'll see

The run order page shows each division as a card with athletes listed as first name and last initial. After you import, the card says "imported, not posted" until you post it.

Troubleshooting

Families cannot see it. The run order is only public after you press Post on the site.

The preview does not look right. Check that each division has a heading and each athlete is on their own line with their position, or paste a table with Division, Athlete and Time columns, then import again.

An athlete is in the wrong division. Fix their registration in the roster and ask the league to move them in the run order.

Questions

Does importing again add to the old run order?

No. Importing replaces the current run order.

Will athletes be emailed their run order?

Yes, when the run order is sent to scoring (NinjaWorks) and the email box is ticked. You can also send it by hand.

Where do families see it?

On your website at /competitions/ followed by the competition's address and /run-order.
