Optional qualification rules for database imports

You can now turn off Import qualification rules in the settings of a Database import configuration. This hides the qualification rules from the results while keeping athletes’ Q qualification indicators.

The option is enabled by default for new and existing configurations. Changes take effect with the next import; saving the setting alone does not change previously imported results.

For more information, see Import configuration.

Variables for Livestream Studio tables

Livestream Studio tables can now use a variable instead of a fixed age group, competition or race. Choose a variable in the same picker as the event values, then change its value during the broadcast to update all linked tables without editing each source.

This works for age group and competition results, race start lists and race results. A Race variable can also select the competition and age group for their results tables, so one selection keeps several tables in sync. Changes appear in the preview first and go live when you update the displays.

For more information, see Livestream Studio.

Easier filtering of form submissions

The list of form submissions has new checkbox filters for submission status, payment status, age group, and form fields with fixed choices. You can select the values you want to see without typing them, and combine filters to narrow down the list.

More flexible result exports

Result exports have been rebuilt to be more flexible and customizable. You can now export everything from overall standings to individual results, filter by age group, club, or nation, group the output, and choose the file layout for PDF, CSV, and Excel downloads.

Exports can also include lap times when live timing data is available. The quick download still uses sensible defaults, while Customize opens the full export options when you need a more specific file.

Dark mode event banners

Event banners can now be configured separately for light mode and dark mode. This helps avoid banners that look out of place when Skate Results is displayed with a different appearance.

Upload the banner images in the "Files" section in the admin area, then select them under General -> Design. If only one version is configured, Skate Results falls back to that banner for the other appearance.

Self-service event creation in admin

You can now create a new event directly in the admin home screen instead of emailing Skate Results first. The Event button is available once self-service event creation is enabled for your account and the latest terms of use have been accepted.

The dialog guides you through basic event data, invoice details, and pricing plus terms acceptance. After submitting, the event is created immediately and added to your account so you can continue the setup right away. The requested URL stays locked until an internal review is complete, and the final public URL may still be adjusted during that review. You will be notified by email once the event is approved.

Replay links on race pages

Race pages can now show a Watch replay link when a video URL has been stored for that race. This makes it easier for visitors to jump from results straight to the matching replay.

Event organizers can maintain those links in Livestream -> Video URLs in the admin area. Choose a timetable day, enter one URL per race, and save the list. If you have many links at once, you can also paste them in timetable order. If Video URLs is not visible in your workspace yet, the feature is still being rolled out.

For more information, see Video URLs.

Meeting point countdown on connected displays

When the meeting point is used with a connected display, a countdown can now be shown on that screen. During longer breaks, athletes see exactly when racing resumes and do not need to wait at the meeting point until then.

On desktop, the new control is a button at the top right; in the tablet layout it sits at the bottom left.

For more information, see Meeting point.

Syncer UI refresh for German competition software

The Syncer UI for German competition management software has been refreshed. You can no longer upload a database file to import later—that flow was confusing and has been removed.

The same interface refresh will reach Excel import and Skate Results JSON import soon. The update is mostly visual; some rows may appear as changed even when nothing actually changed—approve carefully if unsure. You can now approve individual competitions one at a time. Live syncing still works only in Chromium-based browsers, as before. If you notice problems or odd behaviour, please reach out.

For more information, see Live syncing.

Dark mode for the website

The website now supports dark and light themes. By default, appearance follows your system settings. You can also choose to always use light mode or dark mode from the dropdown in the navigation bar.
