What should a race results file include?

A CSV or Excel file as your timing system exported it, every category, DNFs included. A PDF with text in it works too, or a link to your results page.

A CSV or Excel (.xlsx) file is best: the file as your timing system exported it, every category, DNFs included. A PDF works too when it has text in it (not a scan). Results already on your own website? Send the address instead of a file, or beside it.

The columns we read, in any order and under your own headings:

• Place: overall or in the category, as you publish it
• Name: as the paddler entered
• Nation: three letters (USA, FRA) or the country
• Gender
• Age group or birth year: Open, Masters 50+, Junior; or the year
• Class or board: 14', 12'6", Unlimited, inflatable
• Race or discipline: sprint, technical, distance, downwind
• Distance
• Time: finish time, as precise as you have it
• Status: finished, DNF, DNS or DSQ

Leave junior races in the file and keep the age group or birth year column: that is how we make sure no junior is named. We never store home towns, addresses, emails, phone numbers or full dates of birth, so there is no need to clean your file first.
