SplashMe is a mobile application to view live meet results. Meet Manager is used to publish data for SplashMe. In order to present a meet for SplashMe, you have to follow these steps:

  • Register meet in swimrankings.net calendar
  • Synchronize athletes / clubs with swimrankings.net
  • Activate live results

For all these functions, you need a working internet connection and Meet Manager needs access to the internet (using HTTP protocol).

Register in swimrankings.net Calendar

Calendar Menu

Before you can register your meet in the calendar, you have to enter at least all basic values like meet name, city, nation and you have to add at least one session per day of your meet.

Choose Transfer > Edit / Update Calendar… from the mainmenu to connect your meet to the swimrankings.net calendar.

The first time you connect your meet to the calendar, the global meet id field should be empty and you have to enter a meet password with at least four characters. Then you press "Login" to send a request to the swimrankings.net server. The new meet is created and a unique meet id is assigned to your meet.

With the global meet id (e.g. "E6-896") and your password you have all information you need to connect to the SplashMe online data server. The global meet id can be found in the lower left corner of the calendar edit dialog.

Calendar Edit Dialog

If you want your meet to be listed in the swimrankings.net calendar, then click Update at least once in this dialog. But this is not necessary to have your meet available in the SplashMe application.

The global meet id and the password is saved into your meet database and will be available automatically on all login dialogs where you need it.

Synchronize athletes / clubs with swimrankings.net

Clubs - Edit Menu

For this step choose the module "Clubs". Then choose Edit > Get All Club Info to start the synchronization for all clubs. You may select a club first and then start the synchronization for a single club only. This is usefull when you added athletes and want to do the synchronisation for the new athletes only.

The synchronization is important to retreive the unique swimrankings id (SWRID) for each athlete. This id is needed for the favorite function in SplashMe. Only athletes with an SWRID can be choosen as favorite. You can set the filter to "Show suspicious clubs / athletes only" to list only the athletes, where a synchronization was not possible. There are some common reasons, why an athlete cannot be found on swimrankings.net:

  • Wrong nationality
  • Wrong year of birth or gender
  • Misspelled name
