FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

This section answers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about how the Track & Field Results Reporting System (TFRRS) works for meet directors and timers. If you have any questions about uploading meet results to TFRRS or meet director/timer procedures for using TFRRS, please email support@directathletics.com.

1) How do meet results get uploaded to TFRRS?

When possible, meet hosts/timers should upload meet results directly to the same DirectAthletics meet they used to download entries.

Alternatively, meet results can be uploaded via TFRRS. (Note: that meet results should be uploaded to DA or TFRRS, but not both)

Cross country meet results must be uploaded to TFRRS directly from approved meet management software using the JSON and XML APIs. Instructions on how to upload are specific to each software application and available on this page.

2) As a meet director/timer, do I need an account to upload meet results to TFRRS?

Yes. Most users will upload results using the same DirectAthletics account that they used to download entries. Simply upload your meet results to DA, and the results will automatically sync to TFRRS.

As an alternative, you can upload meet results directly to TFRRS using a TFRRS Meet Director/Timer account. Click HERE to create a TFRRS meet director account.

Accounts ensure that only certified meet hosts and timers can submit meet results to TFRRS and allow the site administrators to contact the "owner" of the results easily. Accounts also allow meet directors/timers to make corrections to previously submitted meet results.

3) What happens if I need to correct meet results I have already submitted to TFRRS?

To make corrections to meet results that have already been submitted, you should make the corrections in your meet management software and re-upload the results to the same DirectAthletics or TFRRS meet as the previous version. The new, amended meet results will replace the previous version.

4) When I report my meet results, how will TFRRS match my results to each athlete?

 Each institution is responsible for registering its roster(s) with DirectAthletics/TFRRS before the start of competition. Internal IDs are used by DirectAthletics to track athlete data as it flows through timing systems and back to our database.

5) What is the purpose of the TFRRS ID?

  The TFRRS database is responsible for tracking and compiling millions of performances each year. In order to efficiently and accurately track performances, DirectAthletics uses unique, internal identifiers. These IDs eliminate results matching errors and allow for quick and easy uploading for timers.

6) Do I need to download IDs for each meet I time?

 Yes. Effective December 7, 2023, all IDs downloaded from DirectAthletics are single-meet IDs and not transportable from meet to meet; entry downloads for each meet will contain valid IDs for tracking results for that meet only.

IDs downloaded before December 7, 2023 are no longer valid.

7) I use DirectAthletics to collect my meet entries. Will TFRRS IDs download automatically with my entries?

Yes. Like always, all TFRRS-registered athletes entered into meets on DirectAthletics will download with a valid ID.
