Creating a new event Unless you have specific authorization, you should not be creating new events. Refer to the instructions for setting up new runs instead. Each new event is listed separately on MyLaps, complicating the process for people wanting to look up their results. Our protocol is that all sessions happening in the same month should be listed as different “runs” all happening as part of the same event, named by that month. If you create a new event for your session your results will be deleted from MyLaps. If you are sure you are entitled to create a new event (e.g., a new month has just started and yours is the first session in the new month), click on the Event Setup tab. In the left hand column towards the top, click on the down arrow under Select Current Event to verify that an event for this month has not already been created. If it has, mouse over it and then click on it. Then click on the Timing tab and proceed as usual. If you do need to create a new event, click on Create a new event under Event tasks in the lefthand column. Fill in the information requested and click next. Click on the Select system setup that was used at previous events radio button and then click on the down arrow below it. Click on any of the events listed. Keep clicking on next and/or finish until the pop-up boxes disappear. If the event you created is not now listed in the box under Select Current Event in the left hand column, click on the arrow beside on the box, select it from the list, and click on it. Click on the Registration tab. Under Group and run tasks in the left hand column, click on Create a new group. Give the group a name. Click Next. Create an initial run for the group by filling in the information requested. Click Next. Click on the Finished creating groups and runs radio button. Click Finish. Under the Select a group or run column in the middle of the screen, click on the name of the group you created (not the run). The group has a file folder icon beside it. The run has a clock beside it. You want to click on the group. Under competitor tasks in the left hand column, click on Import competitors. Click on the copy competitors from database radio button. Click Next. Click Next again. Click Finish. |
