Importing Race Results

In addition to manually entering race results, there are three main ways of importing results data into the system.

• Processing Results Sent from MRP Live
• Uploading a Results File
• Copying and Pasting Textual Results

Importing Results from MRP Live

1. On the Results tab, select the desired race from the top-left menu.

2. Click the MRP Live icon with a lightning bolt.

3. The dropdown menu will list all race results that have been transmitted from the MRP Live Client. Choose the desired race and click Import.

4. You will now see the imported results displayed. Make any changes as needed by dragging and dropping drivers in the desired order or editing the available fields, then click either Save as Completed, Save as In Progress, Save as Unofficial Results or Save Only.

     Note: The imported drivers are matched with Race Management drivers based on the transponder number. If a driver is unexpectedly marked in red, verify that the transponder number is correct.

     Note: Leading zeroes are ignored when matching transponder numbers.

5. If you realize that you have made a mistake, you can start the process over by clicking the orange button Reset Import. This will reset the results to the state immediately after the import before any changes were made.
6. If you want to start the process over completely, click Discard Changes in the bottom right of the window. This will reset the results to an empty state as if the import was never performed.

Importing Results from an Uploaded File

1. Click the Upload a File icon to begin the process of importing from file.

2. Select the result file format from the dropdown menu.

    Note: There are currently three supported import file formats: Race Manager (CSV), Orbits (CSV) and Speednet (TXT).

3. Click the button Choose File and select the file to be imported, then click Import.

    Note The two main reasons why an import from file fails is because the wrong file is being imported such as a passings file rather than a results file or the results file is missing the required columns. Read more about required import fields here.

4. You will now see the imported results displayed. Make any changes as needed by dragging and dropping drivers in the desired order or editing the available fields, then click either Save as Completed, Save as In Progress, Save as Unofficial Results or Save Only.
5. If you realize that you have made a mistake, you can start the process over by clicking the orange button Reset Import. This will reset the results to the state immediately after the import before any changes were made.
6. If you want to start the process over completely, click Discard Changes in the bottom right of the window. This will reset the results to an empty state as if the import was never performed.

Importing Results by Pasting in Data

1. Begin by clicking the Paste in Text icon.

   

2. On the left, select the format of the results being pasted.
    Note:There are currently six available formats:

   • Media Results - Similar to World of Outlaw results format.
   • Media Qualifying - Similar to World of Outlaw qualifying format.
   • Results Table 1 - Similar to Speednet results format.
   • Results Table 2 - Similar to Knoxville Raceway results format.
   • Results Table 3 - A four column results table format.
   • Car Numbers - A results format that lists car numbers separated by commas. 
3. On the right, paste your copied results data.

    Note: Do not paste the column headings, use only the results data.

4. Click the Import button.
5. You will now see the imported results displayed. Make any changes as needed by dragging and dropping drivers in the desired order or editing the available fields, then click either Save as Completed, Save as In Progress, Save as Unofficial Results or Save Only.

    Note: Formats that include a starting position will not import the starting position.

6. If you realize that you have made a mistake, you can start the process over by clicking the orange button Reset Import. This will reset the results to the state immediately after the import before any changes were made.
7. If you want to start the process over completely, click Discard Changes in the bottom right of the window. This will reset the results to an empty state as if the import was never performed.
