Helpful Tips

Here are a few potentially helpful tips:

If you'd like to record data for a unique or uncommon event type that we don't have listed, you can either (1) specify the meet type as "other" in order to manually enter event types or (2) choose an event type that we do have listed and just remember to rename it when you send people the results.

In v2.0, you can definitely delete an individual athlete's performance after an event is complete. This was not true for v1.0. We added the feature after one of our customers brought it to our attention.

We are currently working on implementing relay functionality. For now, you can simply enter a team name for the athlete name and record each athlete's time as if it were a split for a single athlete. For example, to record 4x400m relay splits for teams A and B, just enter the athlete names as "Team A" and "Team B" and set the number of splits equal to 4.

We are also currently working on implementing repeat/workout functionality. For now, you can simply record workout repeats by creating a new event for each repeat. For example, to record several 800m repeats for your third workout, just create a meet called "Workout 3" with several 800m events.

The throwing and jumping track events only allow marks to be entered in decimal format. For example, enter 21.11 instead of 21'11".

If you already have v1.0 installed, upgrading to v2.0 will erase your data. Please make sure to store your important data outside of uCoach before upgrading. This issue is due to a one-time-only database restructuring, so future upgrades will not erase any data.
