Apps

Two applications are available for competition organizers to retrieve data from the SpeedskatingResults.com database.

The Vitesse Competition Manager allows race start lists to be drawn automatically using seed times retrieved from the SpeedskatingResults.com database. It includes all of the functionality of the original Participants List

The original Participants List remains available. It allows seed times to be retrieved from SpeedskatingResults.com and saved as an Excel spreadsheet

Vitesse - Competition Manager

The Vitesse Competition Manager is the successor the the Participants List app. Like the Participants List, it allows for the seed times for skaters in a competition to be retrieved from the SpeedskatingResults.com. The start lists for the competition's races can then be automatically drawn using the skater's seed times.

To install Vitesse, download the application then extract and open the zip file. Click on the Vitesse_Setup icon, then follow the instructions on the screen. The zip file includes the Vitesse Users Guide and JSON Export Reference. Both guides can also be dowloaded separately.

JSON Export

With the 1.20.0702 release in July 2020, Vitesse added new features to ease integration with other applications (timing systems, for example). Vitesse can export participants and start lists in standard JSON-format files that can then be imported by another application. Vitesse also provides the competition server, a TCP socket based JSON API providing real-time updates of participants, races and start lists to connected applications.

The JSON Export Reference documents both the JSON file export and the competition server API. An example client (written in C#) for the competition server is also available

Participants List

The Participants List app remains available, though as of July 2020 it is considered obsolete. All features provided by Participants List are available in the Vitesse competition manager. No future updates or bug fixes will be provided for the application.

Participants List is a Windows™ application that aids in the creation of seed times spreadsheets for participants in a competition. As skaters are added to the list of participants their seed times are automatically retrieved from the SpeedskatingResults.com database.

To install the application download and extract the zip file then follow the instructions in the Users Guide included in the download. The Users Guide can also be downloaded separately.
