Help - I thought I had it all figured out for posting results.  I thought I uploaded some middle school results last Tuesday or Wednesday from the O-K Blue-White-Gold Crossover Meet but they are not showing up.  I also have tried to add some HS results from the Sparta Invitational - Blue Division but that data is not showing up either.  I am entering the columns incorrectly or something?

John,

You need to label your columns is all.  Otherwise they don't know what to do with them.

 

Reed    Kamyszek    Kenowa Hills    15:22.4    1
Stephen    Rich    West Ottawa    16:20.4    2
Nathan    Meeuwenbe    Hudsonville    16:29.2    3

Now above that add this:

FirstName    LastName    School    Time    Place
Reed    Kamyszek    Kenowa Hills    15:22.4    1
Stephen    Rich    West Ottawa    16:20.4    2
Nathan    Meeuwenbe    Hudsonville    16:29.2    3

It will then upload just fine and ask you to pick the race division.  It would be cleaner if you added the following additional columns:

Gender = M for all of this set of results

DivID = 5 in this case

You can get by without either I think because when you pick the race it is a mens race and picking the race resolves the id issue.

There are several "bad" files uploaded to that meet.  If I put up bad files I usually delete them quickly.  On the other hand I can probably take the bad uploads and fix them I guess if I can figure out what they are.
