We used athletic.net to manage the registration of runners to events at our track meet last Saturday.  We then downloaded the entries in LynxPad format to our software system to run the meet.  Everything up to this point worked smoothly.  I would now like to upload our results onto your website, but it looks as though you don't support uploads from LynxPad.  Is there a way I can do this?  Funny, I just assumed if we could download to athletic.net that we could just as easily upload. 

I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

BTW - athletic.net is an AWESOME tool - we want to continue using it in future!

Thanks,

Deb Feo (mom supporting our coach Gilbert Tuhabonye do the computer stuff)

Deb,

We are currently taking a look at the file that you uploaded on March 1, to the Triangle Meet.  We would definitely like to support LynxPad files on the uploader, as this will make it easier for a number of coaches to add meet results!

Could you attach and send us the zip file of the meet results?  This will help in formatting the uploader to pick up the results.  Also, I just want to verify that the file you currently have uploaded to the meet is the correct one.

Along with sending us the zip file of the meet results, you can upload that to the meet.  We will take a look at it from there.

Thanks!

Is there a way to upload lynxpad yet?  We ran our first meet last week and are running into the same problem.

Curious if you ever solved this Dan? 

A clip solution would be fairly easy as the results appear very similiar to sydex results I have been converting it appears.  I was able to track down one of them I think:

The top example there was in binary and not readable.  Do you have other examples?

Yes, the Track Results Uploader supports the CSV Export from LynxPad.

 

This meet has a LynxPad file uploaded.
