SplitFast Field Events App

Overview

The SplitFast Field Events App is a dedicated app for recording results in track and field events. It operates independently from the SplitFast Timing App — no Timing Hub or LiDAR gates are required. All you need is a tablet running the app and an internet connection to sync results to the SplitFast Results Portal.

Supported Events

The app currently supports the following events:

• Long Jump
• Triple Jump
• High Jump
• Javelin
• Shot Put
• Discus

Portal Integration

All results recorded in the Field Events App sync directly to the SplitFast Results Portal at results.splitfast.com. This means field event results appear alongside track event results in the same meet view — giving officials, athletes, and parents a single, complete picture of the carnival in real time. No manual data transfer or paperwork is required.

To use the app, your meet must first be created in the Results Portal. The app connects to the portal to retrieve meet details, athlete lists, and event programs.

Device Requirements

Internet Connection Requirements

The SplitFast Field Events App runs on iOS and Android tablets and is designed to work reliably even when no internet connection is available.

When you need internet:

• Before the meet — to download the meet settings from the Results Portal.
• After events — to sync results back to the Results Portal.

When you don't need internet:

• During the meet itself, while recording results on the tablet — no internet required.

How Syncing Works

• Meet settings sync automatically whenever the tablet has an internet connection. Once the settings are on the tablet, you can run the entire meet offline — the app will record all results locally without needing to stay connected.
• Results are synced manually from the Results page. You can sync at any time the tablet is back online, either during breaks in the meet or once the meet has finished.

Getting Started

Download the App

1. On your iOS or Android tablet, open the App Store or Google Play Store.
2. Search for SplitFast Field Events.
3. Download and install the app.
4. Open the app, go to settings, and log in using your club credentials. These are the same credentials (email and password) used to access the Results Portal. Contact SplitFast if you have not yet received your login details.

Before Running an Event

Before the carnival, ensure the following has been completed in the Results Portal:

• The meet has been created with the correct date, age groups, and event program.
• All athletes are registered in the club members database and assigned to the correct age groups.
• Field events are included in the meet's event program.

Selecting a Meet in the App

1. Open the Field Events App on your tablet.
2. On the Run page, tap Setup Event.
3. Tap Select Meet and choose the meet you created in the portal. You will then be taken back to the Event Setup Page.

General Workflow for All Field Events

All field events follow the same basic workflow in the app. The sections that follow describe event-specific steps, but the overall process is the same for every event.

Setting Up an Event

1. Tap Event Type and select the event — for example, Javelin.
2. Tap Gender and select the gender of the competing athletes.
3. Tap Age Group and select the appropriate age group. Only age groups included in the meet setup will appear.
4. Tap Heat Type and select Heat, Semi Final, Final, or Training as appropriate.

Adding Athletes to the Event

1. Tap Clear to remove any athletes still displayed from the previous event.
2. Confirm by tapping Clear again.
3. Tap Select to open the athlete selection page.
4. A list of athletes filtered by the age group and gender you selected will appear.
5. Tap each athlete who will compete in this event to select them.
6. Tap Save to confirm and return to the Event Setup Page.
7. Confirm that you have chosen the correct: Event, Gender, Age Group, Heat type, and athletes.
8. Tap Continue to Start to go to the Run page.
9. When officials and athletes are ready, tap Start to begin the event.

Editing and Correcting Results

Results can be edited at any time during or after an event. To edit an attempt:

1. Tap the athlete's row to view their attempts.
2. Tap the arrow to the right of the attempt you wish to edit.
3. Change the validity of the attempt (valid, foul, or no throw/jump) or correct the distance or height.
4. Tap Save to confirm the change.

Long Jump and Triple Jump

Long jump and triple jump follow the same workflow in the app. Athletes make a series of attempts and the best valid result determines their final ranking.

Running the Event

1. Set up the Event following the general workflow above.
2. When the event begins, plus signs (+) will appear to the right of each athlete's name on the Run page.
3. As each athlete makes an attempt, tap the + sign next to their name to record the attempt.
4. Select the result type:
   • Valid — the attempt is legal. Enter the distance in metres using the keypad and tap Save.
   • Foul — the attempt is a foul. Select Foul and tap Save. No distance is recorded.
   • No Jump — the athlete passed on the jump and no distance is recorded.
5. Continue recording attempts for each athlete as the event progresses.
6. The number displayed to the left of each athlete's best result shows which attempt produced their best distance, followed by the total number of attempts made so far.
7. To view all attempts for an athlete, tap their row.
8. When all athletes have completed all their attempts, tap End Event and confirm.

Editing Results

1. Tap the athlete's row to display all their attempts.
2. Tap the arrow to the right of the attempt to edit.
3. Change the validity or correct the distance, then tap Save.
4. Results can also be edited after the event has ended from the Results page — tap the event, select Details, then tap any attempt to make changes.

Shot Put, Discus, and Javelin

Shot put, discus, and javelin all follow the same workflow as horizontal jumps. Athletes make a series of attempts and the best valid distance determines their ranking.

Running the Event

1. Set up the Event following the general workflow, selecting Shot Put, Discus, or Javelin as the Event Type.
2. When the event begins, plus signs (+) will appear beside each athlete's name.
3. As each athlete makes an attempt, tap the + sign and select the result type:
   • Valid — enter the distance in metres using the keypad and tap Save.
   • Foul — select Foul and tap Save. No distance is recorded.
   • No Throw — the athlete declined to throw and no distance is recorded.
4. Continue recording attempts throughout the event.
5. To view or edit any athlete's attempts, tap their row.
6. When all athletes have completed all their attempts, tap End Event and confirm.

Records

When a club record is broken a text box appears requesting the name of the official ratifying the record and a unique Authorisation code. The code is configured in the portal before the event.

Once the official's name and the code have been entered into the text box, the result will be added to the pending club records list in the portal (when it is synced). Club admins can then review the result and validate the record is correct and accept it, or reject it. Accepting the record replaces the current club record for this age, gender and event type for the club.

Editing Results

1. Tap the athlete's row to display all their attempts.
2. Tap the arrow to the right of the attempt to edit.
3. Change the validity or correct the distance, then tap Save.
4. Results can also be edited after the event has ended from the Results page — tap the event, select Details, then tap any attempt to make changes.

High Jump

High jump is managed differently from other field events because athletes compete at a series of progressively increasing bar heights, rather than making independent attempts to achieve a maximum distance. The app handles the full progression automatically.

Setting Up the Event

Set up the Event following the general workflow, selecting High Jump as the Event Type.

Setting the Starting Bar Height

1. Tap Start to commence the event.
2. You will see a list of the participating athletes' names.
3. You will also see a column labelled Start. This is a suggested starting height based on the athlete's previous performances.
4. Tap the + sign beside Height.
5. Enter the starting bar height in metres using the keypad — for example, enter 0.85 for 85 centimetres.
6. Tap Save. A result entry symbol will appear beside each athlete's name, indicating they are eligible to attempt this height.
7. To edit a bar height after it has been entered, tap the height and ensure that it is highlighted in red. Then select the pen-and-paper icon to the right of the height row. Type in the adjusted height on the keypad and tap Save.

Which Athlete Jumps Next

As the program automatically calculates the start height for each athlete, some athletes may not be required to jump until later in the competition. To aid the official, the row of the next athlete scheduled to jump is shown in blue highlights.

If an athlete requests to jump before they are required to jump in the competition, select their name and then enter the result of their attempt as shown below.

Recording Attempts

As each athlete makes an attempt at the current height, tap the result entry symbol beside their name and select one of the following:

• O — Cleared: The athlete has successfully cleared the height. They do not need to attempt this height again. The success is recorded in their ranking and they progress to the next round.
• X — Failed: The athlete has knocked the bar. They must make further attempts at this height unless they have reached the elimination threshold.
• — — Pass: The athlete chooses to skip this height and move to the next round. No success is recorded at this height.

Above the result entry section is a switch that allows the official to switch between Active and Abandoned. Active indicates that the athlete is still an active participant in the competition. Select Abandoned if the athlete wants to voluntarily withdraw from the competition.

Elimination

When an athlete reaches the elimination threshold, the app will display a message asking you to confirm or cancel their elimination.

1. Tap Confirm to eliminate the athlete. Their name will be dimmed and they will not participate in further rounds.
2. Tap Cancel if the elimination was triggered in error.

Raising the Bar

1. When all athletes have either cleared the current height or been eliminated from it, tap the + sign beside Height.
2. Enter the new bar height and tap Save.
3. Continue recording attempts at the new height.
4. Repeat until only one athlete remains, or all athletes have been eliminated.
5. The final athlete may continue attempting successively greater heights until they choose to stop or are eliminated.
6. Tap End Event and confirm to close the event.

Editing High Jump Results

1. To edit a result during the event, tap the athlete's row to view their details, then tap the result entry symbol beside the attempt to change.
2. Alter the success of the attempt (O, X, or pass) and tap Save.
3. After the event, tap the event on the Results page and select Details. Tap the athlete, then tap the result to edit. Alter the success and tap Save.

Ending the Event

At the conclusion of the event, be sure to tap End Event.

Viewing and Publishing Results

Viewing Results in the App

After an event ends, full results can be reviewed in the app at any time.

1. Tap the Results tab on the Run page.
2. Select the event you wish to review.
3. Tap Details to view all individual attempts made by each athlete.
4. Tap any attempt to make further edits to its validity or recorded distance or height.

Results Portal Integration

To sync an event to the portal:

1. Select Results.
2. Select the tick box beside the event you want to sync.
3. Select Sync.

In the portal, field event results are displayed alongside track results in the same meet view. Athletes and families viewing results through the Club Connect app will see field event results as they are published by an official using the portal. Initially the results will be shown as pending.

After the carnival, the meet director can review all pending field event results in the portal, make any final corrections, and mark the results as official. The portal will automatically identify new personal bests and club records, flagging them on the dashboard.
