Release note (v. 2026.01.1) - January 8, 2026
IMPROVEMENTS
- Athletes' licences: The ability to add licence numbers for the Athletic Federation of Nigeria has been added. Athletes can now add and pay for their licences in the registration portal, while the federation can manage licences in the admin system.
- Athlete profiles: We have enhanced the process for adding athletes’ dates of birth to reduce the risk of incorrect data caused by differences in date formats. We have also restricted the ability to edit athlete profiles (first name, last name, gender and date of birth) once a licence has been added, the athlete has been registered for a competition, or the athlete has been added to the start list.
- DQ Rules: All DQ rules have been updated according to the updated rules from World Athletics (updated in November 2025).
- Field event models: We have added new field event models that can be used to determine the number of attempts, the order, and the number of athletes who advance to the final rounds. For more information about the models and how to enable them, refer to the Set Schedule and Field Events (except High Jump and Pole Vault) guides. New models:
- Standard final (WA, 12-12-12-10-8-6): the top 10 athletes after three rounds advance to round 4, the top 8 advance to round 5, and the top 6 advance to round 6; re-seeding after round 3.
- Standard final (WA, 12-12-12-8-6-4): the top 8 athletes after three rounds advance to round 4, the top 6 to round 5, and the top 4 to round 6; re-seeding after round 3.
- Standard final with four rounds: the top 8 athletes after three rounds advance to round 4, with re-seeding after round 3.
- Standard final with X athletes to last rounds: the top X athletes advance to rounds 4, 5, and 6, with re-seeding after round 3.
- Consecutive attempts: four rounds to all: 4 attempts for all athletes, taken consecutively.
- Consecutive attempts: six rounds to all: 6 attempts for all athletes, taken consecutively.
- Consecutive attempts: three rounds to all + final: 3 attempts for all athletes, taken consecutively; then the top 8 athletes advance to rounds 4, 5 and 6; with re-seeding after round 3.
Please note that the new models are available in the Roster Athletics: Meet Mgmt app version 2.0.0 or later.
