multiple staggered starts (groups) within each race
Hi, I use the app for a swim team, and we will have groups of swimmers separated by lanes. The swimmers do a staggered start of 5 seconds apart. Is it possible to have multiple columns, and have a staggered start within each column? For example, first person in lanes a/b/c will start together, and the 2nd person in lanes a/b/c will be staggered 5 seconds after, and so on.
Thank you and loving the app.

Ability to Import Data
I'd love to have the ability to import times/lap data (CSV format?) we had prior to getting watches so that we can taken full advantage of the reporting that watches offers.
Thanks

Make teams able to be custom ordered
Make the Teams with athletes able to be ordered by other than their name. When I’m timing, it’s helpful to order them by projected time so each person is right on top. Is it possible to start a race without having to reorder people every time?

Use volume buttons when screen is off
Is it possible to use the volume buttons to take laps while my screen is turned off? I use this app in an unconventional way (concert production) and I need to be able to take song timings ("laps") when it isn't appropriate for my phone to be on.

Time a youth swim meet takes 24 parents 3 to each lane with stop watches
Include a 10 keypad that would stop each lane and order it’s finish i.e. a swimming meet I think I could time most races by myself or greatly reduce the number of people required thanks Lon

Longest time wins
I know generally this is for races where quickest time would win.
But I’d also like to use this in training to record fitness levels. E.g. who can skip for the longest time.
It would be great to have an option of saying wether the quickest time wins (would count to PB) or the longest time wins.1 vote -
PBs in Race Report
Hi Hugh, would it be possible in the final race report to show each runner's race time and their PB for the same type of race i.e. 5Km. I know the data will be available under each runner's details/history but having it all in one place would be very useful.

Splits on Reports
It would be great to have the option of including the splits on the reports
1 voteMaybe I’m not understanding, but you can do just that now. The reports’ settings are separate from the Watches’, but you should be able to set the report to split, cumulative, or both.

Separate out a runner from a group during a race
Hi Hugh - another one:
I have a group of athletes running in one race, interval (all lap) setting. One runner can’t follow any more and change to a slower program. I still would like to use the all start function….Would be ideal if I could take the slower runner out of this race in to his own without loosing his history.
Maybe by dragging the stopwatch into a corner... don't know.Best,

Swipe from group to group
Hi Hugh, this is my favourate stopwatch thanks.
Coming back to what I proposed under „all lap“, an additional feature could be that it is possible to switch from the stopwatches of one group to the stopwatches of another group by swiping horizontally and stop/lap separately.
This adds minimal complexity to the user...no idea what it means for programming.1 voteI’ve implemented something similar, and will be doing a beta version shortly. Would you like to try it out?

All lap
Add “All lap”
Scenario: several athletes in a interval training. They start the same time, you “lap” individually then all start again at the same time (all lap), then you “lap” individually, start again “all lap”3 votes -
Preloaded races and runners?
Nice app! Either I'm having trouble learning this app or it's missing a feature for me. I would really like to be able to have all of my runners loaded into their races and then just switch between races. Let's say once the 1600 is done I change the race type to 400 and all of my runner's watches are loaded and ready to start. Track meets move too fast for me to go to a group, tap add all watches, tap new race, and change race type.
1 voteSo, the “race type” is just an attribute of a race, not a way to create a new race.
Instead, to get ready, you would go to the Group of runners, and hit “New Watches for this team”. Then specify “New Race” instead of “Add Watches”. This will create a separate race with that group. Set the race type and/or name, then do those steps again for the second race, etc.
Then day of race, just go to the History tab, select the first race, tap on the title, and hit “Make Current Race”. After the race, do the same for the second.
You can switch between races with “Make Current Race” as often as you wish. In fact, you can even track two (presumably long) races at once, as running watches will continue when the race isn’t “current”.
FYI, I’ve implemented something to make this easier. Would you…

Hi, thanks for this great timing app!
For road cycling time trials it would be useful to be able to add time between categories. For example, all cat 1/2 ladies start on 1 min stagger but when categories switch over to cat 1/2 men there is typically a gap left (anywhere from 2 mins to 10 mins)
1 voteSo, not quite understanding what you mean by a gap left? Are you suggesting that different types of races would automatically have different stagger times?
