NCRunners.com is now headed towards it's ONE YEAR anniversary, August 16th. Athletes, coaches, and parents from all over the state have helped the site become a huge success. BUT, there are still many meets that don't make into the Milesplit database. You have the opportunity to change that.
My goal for this year is to include every single meet that is run in NC. Will it happen? A lot of it is up to you. Last XC season, there were 155 meets that made it to the calendar and most of them also were accompanied by results. During track, 360 meets made the calendar.
What can you do?
- Become a team administrator for your team's page so you can personally update your team schedule, team roster, team news, etc. When you update your schedule, it automatically uploads into the NCRunners meet database. **NOTE: PLEASE CHECK TO SEE IF THE MEET IS ALREADY CREATED BEFORE YOU CREATE A NEW MEET. MAKES LIFE MUCH EASIER FOR ME. IF YOU NEED A NEW VENUE CREATED SIMPLY EMAIL ME AND I WILL CREATE IT FOR YOU.
- You can also email meets to me directly and I will input them for you. Invitationals and championship meets should be done ASAP. Get your Invitational on the site, so people can plan to come. **NOTE: A ONE TIME FEE OF $25 WILL GET YOU AN AD ON THE FRONTPAGE AS WELL AS A "FEATURED MEET" TITLE NEXT TO YOUR MEET ON THE CALENDAR PAGE. COVERAGE IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR AT THE FEATURED MEETS.
- Througout the season, when you're at a meet, ask the meet director if they can send the results to me. Don't miss out on your results being posted on the site.
What's the best format to send results?
Flat html from HYTEK!
Is that the only format I'll accept?
Nope. Whatever you have is better than nothing!
I understand that you may not use HYTEK, but they will look much better and it saves me time posting elites.
Thanks for your cooperation and I'm looking forward to an outstanding XC season from North Carolina athletes.
