Setting Up Your First Event

Creating or Importing Your First Event

If you are starting from scratch, you’ve come to the right page.

Steps

  1. Sign up for an account.

  2. Create a new Organization.

  3. Create a new Event Group.

  4. Follow the instructions to add one or more Events and Courses. You can manually enter information or import a splits CSV file.

  5. Continue to add your entrants’ personal information (names, ages, contact info) manually or import a CSV file. To avoid duplication, you will need to reconcile Entrants with our participant database. You can always add or change entrant information at any time, including after the event is finished.

  6. Choose your path:

    Option A: Live Event

    If this is an upcoming event, use the Live features and OST Remote to track your entrants on the course. Your time data will be available to the public instantly as it is submitted to the database.

    Option B: Historical Event

    If this is an event that happened in the past and you have the data somewhere (email, thumb drive, notebook), you can enter it using our handy tools.

Duplicating an Existing Event Group

If you are working with an Organization that has existing Events, it is often easier to duplicate an existing Event Group and modify it for your new event.

Creating from Within the Organization

You can also create new Event Groups directly from within your Organization’s management interface.
