We just added an easier way to bring your RunSignup reg data to Webscorer without having to download / upload files.
If your registration is not hosted on Webscorer, you have always been able post your start list as follows:
- Download the participant list as CSV or XLS file from the other reg site
- Edit the column headers to match what Webscorer expects
- Post the start list via file upload
A. If your registration is hosted on RunSignup, here are the new steps:
1. Navigate to Organizers / My start lists page
2. Click on the "Post start list from RunSignup" menu button
3. You'll get the attached form
4. Click on the green "View example" link to see where to find the info required
- Navigate to the RACE DASHBOARD on the RunSignup website
- Click on the "Race" menu button on the left
- This will open up more menu options, then click SHOW MORE
- Click on Secure Access/Info Sharing
- Scroll down the page and click on "API Keys"
- This will expand the page to show the following
5. Copy / paste this data from RunSignUp to the Webscorer start list form:
6. Click on the green "Get participants from RunSignup" button
7. Fill in the other required info:
- Pinpoint race location on map
- Select Sport type
- Select Start type
8. Click on "Post start list" menu button
B. To update this posted start list to capture the most recent registrations:
1. Navigate to the posted start list page
2. Click on "Edit race info" menu button
3. Click on "Update list from RunSignup" menu button
4. The form remembers the previously entered race id, API key and API Secret
5. Click "Get pacticipants from RunSignup" button
- This will refresh the full list, including any updates to previously downloaded data
- If you had made start list edits on Webscorer, these edits will hence be lost
- Hence it's recommended to make edits in RunSignup if the reg is still open
- Once the reg has closed, download the final list and do any final edits on Webscorer
- You can edit the start list on Webscorer website, or on the app
C. How to merge RSU updates after start list has been already downloaded to the Webscorer app
1. Create the race on the Webscorer app using the (preliminary) start list
2. Navigate to the app's "Start List" panel
3. Update the posted start list on the Webscorer website using steps outlined in section B above
4. On the app:
- Tap "Merge start lists" toolbar button on the "Start List" panel
- On the popup, select "Download from Webscorer.com"
- This will update the start list on the app with any new racers
- Note that existing racer edits (changes to name, distance, category etc.) are not merged
5. This merge can be done also during the race
- Tap the "Start list" toolbar button on the "Race Timing" panel of the app
- Tap the "Merge start lists" toolbar button
Notes:
1. You can assign bib numbers on RunSignup, or on Webscorer
2. If you want to have age categories, these can be created on Webscorer
- Select "Create categories based on age = Yes"
- Add your age groups. e.g. 19 & Under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50,50, 60+ etc.
- Map the ages to these categories using a graphical tool
