Adding athletes to crews

Most regattas require athlete names to be entered against entries, and the RDS allows regattas to test that crews are composed in accordance with the rules of racing.

The starting place for adding athletes is the List entries page. This shows all entries for the club at the regatta. Clicking on the edit athletes link takes you to another page, where you can enter the crew.

If you are using a touchscreen-based device, you can choose athletes from the Club list drop down near the bottom of the page. Click Add. If you wish, you can then indicate which seat each athlete has, then click Save.

If you are using a mouse-based device, you can drag athletes from the list on the right to the boxes on the left. You do not need to click Save. If you need to change an athlete, click the Delete checkbox by their name, click Save and then make the correction.

Composite crews

If the regatta allows composite crews, these can be handled by the non-drag-and-drop page. Look for the input box near the bottom of the page where you can search for the athlete in question. The search will return push buttons for each athlete who fits the search criteria; click the button for the relevant athlete. You can then assign that athlete to a seat.

If you are using the drag-and-drop page, there is a link at the top labelled try this page instead which will take you to the non-drag-and-drop page described in the previous paragraph.
