Good afternoon,
Happy Holidays from the AthleticLIVE team. I hope you have a wonderful holiday planned with
family and friends. I also hope you had an awesome cross country season and that you're
excited for the start of indoor track :).
Before your season starts, feel free to let me know if you have any questions or if there are
any new features you'd like to see. We have a bunch of really cool ideas in the pipeline, and
we look forward to communicating those to you on a bi-weekly basis as we release them over the next few months.
As always, if you have any questions or feedback, please contact me at
ben@athletic.net.
Good luck with your meets this weekend!

10 Underrated Features
|
AthleticLIVE has a few under-the-radar features. As we begin a new season,
think about trying these features out and taking your live results game
to the next level.
- Show compiled and heat-by-heat results from FinishLynx.
- Show live qualifiers from FinishLynx while an event is in progress.
- Send automated, branded result tweets when final results are posted.
- Export images from FinishLynx to live results.
- Protest Management. Define how long results remain unofficial, when they change to official, and how long the protest period is.
- You can now upload logos to the meet homepage. Create a meet and scroll down to "Upload a Meet Logo".
- If you want to upload your entire meet schedule at once instead of one-by-one, create a CSV and send it to ben@athletic.net.
- Link your Athletic.net Meet and get logos and PRs/SRs from Athletic.net.
- Add a permanent message to the meet homepage to inform of weather delays, DQs, etc.
- Add Static Links to point users to important meet documents, such as a course map, a webcast link, a meet brochure, or an HTML list of entries.

Automated College Logo Matching
|
Whenever you upload teams, we will automatically match your team names with Direct Athletics team names as long as 65%
of your teams have matches. This ensures that logo matching only happens for college teams.
Then, we'll show logos next to those team names on the live results.
We also offer a matching tool if you use a different entry system or if you need to match a couple of teams
whose names do not exactly match DA names.
Want logos for high school teams? Use Athletic.net entries, and we'll show team logos
next to team names in the live results as long as those teams have logos in Athletic.net.

View heat sheets and records on the live scoreboard
|
If you upload heat sheets before your meet, you will be able to view those heat sheets
on the live scoreboard. Records and notes will appear as well. Before this upgrade, if you wanted
to view heat sheets, you had to leave the live scoreboard and go to the corresponding event page.

Automatically set advancement formulas heat sheet upload

Our live qualifier functionality
allows you to see who is currently in a qualifying position as results are clicked in FinishLynx or as heats are uploaded
from HyTek. Previously, you had to enter the number of qualifiers manually. Now, we retrieve the total number
of qualifiers and the top per-heat qualfiiers from HyTek uploads.
