SportsTrak is an interactive database of students, teams, events, and scoring system woven into a well structured package offering flexibility, versatility, and reliability.
- Operating System: any Windows System including Vista; Windows 7
- Hard Disk Space required: 6 MB
SportsTrak is designed to run InterHouse or InterForm, InterSchool, Zone Athletics or Swimming Carnivals or Cross Country Events
Setup wizards provided to guide the setting up of each carnival.
Each carnival is set up in its own folder (e.g. Aths2009; Aths2010, etc.) and each may be accessed by a simple changing of data path. Work on any number of carnivals at once.
Student data is able to be imported from a text file from a student database or can be manually entered.
A student's Age Group is automatically determined, based on a date set by the coordinator. If Year level data is entered then students may be promoted at end of year.
Unlimited number of teams or houses.
It can operate in any of three modes:
- InterHouse with Age Groups
- InterHouse with Year Levels
- InterForm with Year Levels.
A carnival is based on either Age Groups or Year Levels.
- Up to 14 Age Groups or Year Levels
- Year Levels can be: Yr01 to Yr13
- Age Groups can be U/06 to U/21, or 5Yr to 20Yr depending on notation chosen
Scoring for individual events can be:
- Normal where 1st place = 20 points (for example), 2nd place = 16 pts etc
- Standards e.g. High Jump scores 5 points for 1.3 m, 6pts for 1.4m, etc. regardless of place
- Points e.g. Cork Scramble, with points based on degree of success
Usually, the entire program is based predominantly on Normal or Standards, but they can be mixed.
Normal Scoring can be based on up to 26 Grades e.g.:
- A Individual Events: 1st =20pts, 2nd = 16pts, …
- A Team Events: 1st =40pts…
- B Individual Events1st=10pts,….
- B Team Events: 1st =20pts…
Points accrued go to Teams and to the Individuals, thus determining Team and Individual Championships and placings.
Scoring system may be changed and all scores recalculated any time during or after carnival.
Sub-divisions within the overall championship can be set by the user. E.g. you may want a Junior Championship based on all 12Yr and 13Yr scores of both Genders.
Automatic or Manual Sorting of placings. Results may be recorded by entering competitors' performances and having SportsTrak sort them into placings. Sorting can be automatic or on demand. Alternatively, places and as few or as many performances as you consider important may be recorded.
A library of event types is provided and which can be edited and supplemented e.g.:
- 100m, based on time, athletics, track type marshal slip
- 50m Freestyle, based on time, swimming, track type marshal slip
- Discus, based on distance, athletics, field type marshal slip
- Diving, based on points, swimming
Each event on the program is composed by selecting from lookup tables of
- Event Type
- Age Group
- Gender
- Specific ordinary event or heat or final
- Set Time
- Other information such as location (e.g. Pit 3), equipment (e.g. Shot weight 1250g)
example
- Event Number 1
- Discus
- U/21
- Male
- Scoring Grade A
- Day 1, 2.00PM
- OPEN
- Ordinary Event
- Pit 2, 1250g shot
Lanes may be specified for all teams in all events. Lanes can be set fixed or rotating for any number of events and manually over-ridden.
Final Types can be:
- A - The final stores all heat results and processes them all based on their heat times.
- B - Best N from each Team progress to Final
- C - Best N from each heat e.g. best 2 per heat will progress
- D - Best N from all heats e.g. Best 8 from all the heats
(where N is a number specified during event entry e.g. 2 per Team)
Finalists can be seeded into lanes based on team Lanes or in a VEE formation with best heat result in Lane 5, etc.
Competitors may be pre-entered into events, for printing on program and marshalling slips.
Team Members can be entered in Relays for printing on a specific Relay Members Report.
