Enter class placings

  1. Open the correct show in the Secretary Dashboard.
  2. Go to Active Entries and open the class.
  3. Find the competitor's row.
  4. Enter the result directly in the Place field.

The value saves automatically and is displayed in the Place column on the public Results Page. There is no separate Save button.

Accepted placement formats

The Place field accepts a short result of up to two characters. Common examples include:

  • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6
  • CH for Champion
  • RC for Reserve Champion
  • DQ for Disqualified
  • SC for Scratched
  • Another custom one- or two-character code used by your show

Whatever valid value you enter in the Place field is the value exhibitors see on the Results Page.

The Secretary order becomes the Results Page order

The order of entries in the Secretary Dashboard is duplicated on the public Results Page. When you sort or manually reorder the active entries, the saved order becomes the order viewers see for that class.

Results update automatically

Placings and saved entry order appear on the public Results Page when it next refreshes.

Organize by time before the class

If you want the Results Page to show the running order by scheduled time, select the Time column heading. The rows are sorted by time and the new order is saved.

Select the column again if you need to reverse the direction. The arrow beside the heading shows the current sort direction.

Organize by score or placing afterward

When judging is complete, select the Score or Place column heading to reorganize the class by its results. Confirm that the rows appear in the desired order; select the heading again when the order needs to be reversed.

The Results Page will then display the entries in that same saved order along with the Place values you entered.
