Results and Reports

Purpose

Explain how to review live results, use the Reports page, save reusable report templates, and use the dashboard export shortcuts for one-off file exports.

Prerequisites

The meet already has athletes, entries, or results worth viewing.
For live timing workflows, connectors and reads are already working.
For publishing workflows, the outbound connector or export target is already configured.

Results vs. Reports vs. Export

These are related but not identical surfaces in 2Timer.

Results

Use Results when you want to inspect or edit the live competitive outcome for entries and events.

Reports

Use Reports when you want formatted output for operators, coaches, announcers, scoring, or printing.

Export

Use the dashboard Export shortcuts when you want a specific file format such as:

2T Backup
Lynx
Hytek
CSV
TFRRS Results
HTML Results

Viewing Live Results

During a race or meet, open the live result views to inspect rankings and entry outcome state.

2Timer computes place from the appropriate discipline-specific result model:

gun or chip timing for running
mark-based ranking for field events
team-score output for XC and T&F reports

Important field-event behavior:

horizontal jumps and throws can use full legal-mark series for tie-break context
vertical jumps use ordinary misses and attempts logic before any manual official resolution

For super-events, 2Timer can preserve separate sub-event scoring while still presenting the combined physical race context.

Common Result Statuses

Status	Meaning
Entered	Registered but not yet finished
Checked In	Confirmed for staging or participation
Pending	Arrived but result not yet fully recorded
Finished	Has a result and is part of place computation
DNS	Did not start
DNF	Did not finish
DQ	Disqualified
WD	Withdrawn
No Height	Vertical jump: no cleared height
No Mark	Field event: no legal mark
Foul	Field event: all attempts were fouls

The Reports Page

Open Reports from the meet navigation.

The current reports UI includes:

a searchable report list
canned report cards
saved custom templates
favorites
a page-level scope filter
a Custom report button that opens the custom-report modal

Filters and Scope

The reports page lets you narrow what you are looking at by:

source: all, canned, custom, or favorites
report type
name/description search
scope: all events or a selected event

That scope setting affects both canned reports and template views/downloads.

Canned Reports

The page ships with canned report presets based on meet sport and genre.

Examples include:

results-oriented reports
team results
start lists
participants reports
performance lists
finish line sheets
field event sheets
meet operations reports

The exact set depends on the meet.

Custom Reports

Click Custom report to open the report builder modal.

The current UI supports custom builders for report families such as:

results
MVP report
start list
performance list
participants
meet operations

Inside the custom report flow you can:

preview a report
download it
save it as a template
edit an existing template later

Saved Templates

Saved templates appear in the same report list as canned reports.

You can:

open a saved template
download from it
edit it
delete it
mark it as a favorite

This is the best workflow when you reuse the same packet or export shape repeatedly across sessions or meets.

Downloads from the Reports Page

The Reports page supports one-off downloads directly from canned reports, custom reports, and templates.

Current formatter choices used there are based on the report formatter registry and include common text and table outputs such as:

txt
html
html-fixed
csv
tsv

If a report has zero rows, the page warns instead of exporting an empty file.

Dashboard Export Shortcuts

The meet dashboard also exposes direct export shortcuts outside the Reports page.

Current dashboard export pills include:

2T Backup
Lynx
Hytek
CSV
TFRRS Results
HTML Results

Use those when you already know the exact export family you need and do not need the full reports browser first.

TFRRS Results Export

For collegiate T&F workflows, the dashboard export area includes TFRRS Results.

Use this when you need the dedicated TFRRS results export rather than a generic report download.

Make sure athlete registration IDs and result data are ready before exporting.

Published and Connector-Driven Output

If the goal is continuous outward publishing during the meet, use connectors rather than repeated manual downloads.

Typical connector-driven publishing targets include:

local folder
S3 / R2

See Connectors for the setup side of that workflow.

XC Team Scoring in Reports

For cross country meets:

team scores are derived from scorer/displacer rules
team reports depend on correct team assignment
teams marked Unattached are excluded from team scoring
league or conference views depend on correct league setup

If team output looks wrong, verify team codes, unattached status, and league membership before assuming the report itself is wrong.

See Cross Country Scoring and Teams and Leagues.

T&F Team Scoring in Reports

For track and field meets:

scoring uses place points
only finals-round scoring counts
selected finals heats can be marked as scoring heats while others remain non-scoring
teams marked Unattached are excluded from team scoring
double-dual or head-to-head report splits depend on league setup
team-lane seeding depends on correct team Lane Slot setup, which can affect heat layout and downstream reporting context

Team totals then appear in the team-oriented report outputs.

If your meet uses head-to-head league views, verify the team league memberships or use the Generate Double-Dual Leagues macro from the Leagues page when appropriate.

See Track and Field Team Scoring, Teams and Leagues, and Team-Lane Seeding.

When to Reset Results First

If the report output is wrong because the underlying result layer is wrong, fix the data before trying to solve it with another export.

Use Purging Results and Resetting State when:

bad reads were imported
result state needs to be rebuilt
the meet structure should stay but the result layer should be cleared

Archiving the Meet

After the meet, export a full .2t backup from the dashboard export area.

That backup is the safest archive if you may need to restore or merge the meet later.

Recommended Workflow

Check live results first.
Fix statuses or obvious data problems before reporting.
Use canned reports when one already fits the job.
Use the custom report modal when you need a tailored output.
Save recurring custom layouts as templates.
Use dashboard export pills for specific format-driven exports like TFRRS, Hytek, Lynx, HTML, or .2t.
Use connectors for continuous live publishing.

Common Problems

Problem	Likely Cause	Fix
Report is empty	Current scope or filters exclude the needed rows	Check event scope, search, and report type filters
Team report looks wrong	Team assignment, unattached status, league setup, or scoring setup is wrong	Verify teams, unattached teams, leagues, and scoring setup
Double-dual split output is missing	Pairwise leagues were never created	Create leagues manually or run `Generate Double-Dual Leagues`
Heat-based output feels inconsistent	Team lane slots changed seeding layout	Verify team `Lane Slot` assignments and reseed if needed
Export shape keeps changing each time	A repeated workflow is not saved as a template	Save the custom report as a template
Report output is wrong after bad import	The result layer is wrong, not the report format	Reset/rebuild results before exporting again
User expects a dashboard export in Reports	That format lives in the dashboard export pills	Use the dashboard export shortcut instead

Verification Checklist

Live results look correct before final export.
Filters and event scope are set intentionally.
Team-oriented reports were checked against scoring setup.
Teams that should not score are marked Unattached.
League-based reports were checked against the meet’s league memberships or double-dual macro output.
Team Lane Slot setup was verified if the meet uses team-lane seeding.
Reusable custom layouts were saved as templates if needed.
A final .2t backup was exported for archive.
