Scoring
1. Go to Check In. Select the appropriate round and flight.
Athletes are checked in by default (green). They can be toggled to out (red) or unknown (grey). In prelim/finals events, athletes won't show in the final until after the final is created. They will all be checked in by default.Screenshot 2022-04-08 171514.jpg88.05 KBFunctionally, out and unknown status is treated the same by the app. *Note - The ability to make substitions and additions is not available yet. Coming soon!
3. Go to Scoring
The scoring process should follow the expected order as set by the scoring software, with indicators for "UP", "ON DECK", "ON HOLD". Screenshot 2022-04-08 172204.jpg94.49 KB Metric: Use this format: xx.xx (the period is optional, provided that two digits past the decimal are entered). Click the button to submit or press the "Enter" key. (2785 is 27.85)
English: Enter feet first. The "-" key automatically moves focus to the inches input. The period key is optional if two digits past the decimal are entered. (950 is 9.50)
Buttons: - FOUL: -Horizontal: Enters an "F" for the current attempt. The current attempt is completed - Vertical: Enters an "X" for the current attempt. After three consecutive fouls, the athlete is removed from the competition - PASS: Enters a "P" for the current attempt. The current attempt is completed. - SKIP: Moves the athlete to the end of the line. The current attempt is unaffected. - MAKE (vertical only): Enters an "O" for the current attempt. The height is submitted as successful and the athlete moves to the next height.
4. Create Final (if needed)
Click create once preliminary results are done. This can be redone at anytime if changes need to be made to the competitors or event settings
5. Submit Results
Once the competition is completed, click submit results to confirm that all results have reached MS Live. If a success message is received, you should verify that the timer is able to successfully create an LFF and then close out the event.
Create LFF
1. Once the event has successfully sent final results, select the events tab in MS Live.
You will see a "Load" button next to each event. Click the appropriate button to create an LFF file for that event in the field event folder. Screenshot 2022-04-08 175327.jpg79.14 KB
2. Pull results into meet management software.
You should be able to pull final results into Hytek or MeetPro for scoring. Use the FieldLynx setup instructions for Hytek or MeetPro to look for the created LFFs in the folder you selected in the MS Live Setup Instructions Step 2 above. Then click "Get Marks" or "Get Event Results" to load the LFF results into your database.
