TrackMate Features

Any number of divisions and schools can be entered in TrackMate.
Each team can have any number of contestants.
An unlimited number of custom event types can be entered.
Division, school and athlete names need only be typed once. After this, you just pick the names from a list.
When you setup a meet, you can choose default event types for indoor and outdoor meets.
Enter distances and heights in either English (feet/inches) or metric (meters and centimeters) units.
TrackMate can assign athlete (bib) numbers to each contestant.
Blank heat/entry forms are generated automatically.
You can copy rosters to/from the Windows clipboard. This allows you to import athlete names from a spreadsheet, text editor or word processor directly into TrackMate, without having to type them in.

Track events can have preliminary heats, semi-final heats and a final heat.
Running events can also be run as finals only, which means that the results of the preliminary heats determine the event winners, without either semi-finals or a final heat.
Qualifying distances and times can be used for heating purposes, if desired.
Preliminary and final heat and lane assignments can be made automatically. However, if you want, you can manually arrange heats any way you wish. A simple drag-and-drop interface makes it easy.
By default, TrackMate assigns heats and lanes in the way most people would want. However, if you need something different, many options are available to tailor automatic heat and lane assignment. Also, you can override the automatic assignment and drag-and-drop athletes into heats and lanes in any way you wish.
If people drop out of events after heats have been assigned, you can re-heat with the press of a single button.

Once the meet is complete, you can export the winners for advancement to another meet.
You can export the winners in TrackMate format, text format, or Hy-Tek Semicolon Delimited File format.
You have complete control over how the Hy-Tek export is performed. You can control the Hy-Tek division code, school codes and event codes.

You can have the participating teams enter their entries into the meet online.
Setting up the online meet takes just a few minutes.
Participating schools get an e-mailed link to use online entries. They just click on the link and begin entering their athletes. They don't need to create an account, or even login.
Once the participating schools have finished their online entries, you can download them into TrackMate, saving you the time and effort of entering the athletes yourself.
After you load the online entries into TrackMate, you can make any changes you want.

You can upload your results to the Sports Automation website using our online results. Anyone with a web browser can view the meet results.
