Events with no Results or Split Times

You can set up Routegadget even if you do not have a results file or split times. This is typical for small informal events such as street score events, which normally only have a single course. If you need to support more than one course you would need to set up an event per course.

Simple method

See an example of this type of event set-up.

1. Create a map file which shows the start, finish and all of the controls.

2. For results tick the "No results file" box.

3. For courses select the "Draw course" button. Click once at the start and once at the finish. Enter a course name and then select "Create Event".

Users can now select the Draw tab and enter their name and time before drawing their route.

Enhanced method

See an example of this type of event set-up.

With a bit more effort it is possible to create your own results file and upload it. This can be done in a text editor, or in Excel and then exported as a CSV file. The event set-up is as for the simple method, but uses the results file at step 2.

Your file should have a header row with field names as shown.It should then have a row per runner with the relevant details. The commas are important since they show blank fields.

• Example Excel file
• Example csv file exported from the Excel file
