Uploading from Race Day Scoring to AthleticLIVE

Summary

The Race Day Scoring -> AthleticLIVE integration is in Beta during the 2025 XC season. Please let us know if you run into any issues! Click here to view the corresponding RaceDayScoring documentation.

To begin, please download and install AthleticLOCAL, our second-generation middleware, which will replace AthleticLIVE Local in Q4 2025. Open AthleticLOCAL to get started.

Getting Started

1. Create your meet in AthleticLIVE (learn more).
   1. Choose "Race Day Scoring" as your meet management system.
   2. Choose "Race Day Scoring" as your FAT system.
   3. Choose "Manual Timing" as your running time system.
   4. If you do not see any of the above options, email live@athletic.net for access.
2. TBD: Put Race Day Scoring operation instructions here.
3. Open AthleticLOCAL: Select the directory that will contain all events, rosters, and results files.

1. After hitting start, you should see your events and teams on AthleticLIVE within a couple of minutes.

Race Day Operation

1. Once you've selected your meet and your events appear on the AthleticLIVE page, click on "Race Day Scoring Settings" in the AthleticLOCAL sidebar. You should see all of your events from that meet.
2. When an event is ready to go live, change the status to "Live". This will allow race results to stream to the real-time scoreboard. Once an event is live, you can start a manual running time.
3. When an event is done, change the status to "Final". This is the equivalent of uploading final results from any other meet management system. Results will appear on athlete/team pages and sync to AthleticNET.
4. Changing the status back to "None" will erase a live scoreboard and/or final results.
5. If you've tested data and want to reset back to a clean slate, reset the meet and delete all scoreboards.

Best Practices

1. Set your split names if your races have splits. This is required.
2. Your race names should contain both the gender and the distance. This helps ensure athletes have the right gender and that events are matched to the correct distance when results are pushed to AthleticNET.
