competition.

 Practice using the spreadsheet ahead of the day if you
haven’t used the spreadsheet before!
Configuring the spreadsheet
 Take time to configure the
spreadsheet
 Event name: Don’t just put
“QuadKids”… we know that!!!
 Select the appropriate “Competition
Type” for your competition
 “Secure Names” hides the surnames
on the main sheets for child
protection.
 If you press the “Configure” button
and nothing happens don’t panic…the
spreadsheet will still work.
Declarations
 Get done before the day
 We need the gender of the athlete
otherwise the spreadsheet will
ignore the scores of that athlete
 Date of birth is not essential but
helps us identify the athlete.
 Athlete numbers are any
numerical number
Setting up Teams
 Go to the “Athletes” sheet
 Enter the numbers of the
athletes in a team
 Names automatically populated
 Team name comes from the
athlete at the top of the list
 Up to 50 teams support
 Athlete scores / rankings are
automatically populated here
Entering Data
 Enter the athletes number and the
athlete name is populated
automatically.
 Enter the performance data and the
points are calculated automatically.
 Duplicate count: 1 is normal. If the
athlete has a number of performances
entered then this number indicates
how many entries!
 The checkpoint indicates an abnormal
score. If you see “* PLEASE
CHECK*” then the performance data
should be rechecked.
Entering Data - Sprint
 The sprint data is entered as
SECONDS.TENTHS
 There is no point recording
hundredths of seconds as
the points scoring is not this
granular.
 Don’t put an ‘S’ in to indicate
seconds as this will cause
an error.
Entering Data - Jump

 Please note the “PLEASE
CHECK” for jumps that are only
scoring 10 points.
Entering Data - Run

‘decimal’ notation of
