An athlete asks to see or delete their results
At the Hollywood Cup, the father of Maëlle Corbineau (A001, 11 years old) comes to the timing table: he wants to see what the ChronoFEED results database keeps for his daughter, have one result deleted, and have nothing more of hers published.
Any timekeeper with a FINISH licence can do it (FINISH itself sends no results: EVENT publishes them): it is enough to know the athlete's identity (first name, last name, date of birth, country), which the FINISH record gives. Internet is needed.
1. Find the record
- History › Athletes
Search “Corbineau”, then Full record… (or double-click the card).
- Check the identity
First name Maëlle, last name CORBINEAU, date of birth 2015-04-08, country Famousie: have the parent confirm them. If the date of birth or the country is missing, the Shared results section says so in red: complete it, then Save and close and reopen the record.
A spelling different from the one on the other computers gives another key: the results could not be found. Write the athlete as their federation does.
2. View their results
- Shared results
Right-hand column, View their results on the server.
“3 result(s) on the server.” The list: competition, race, distance, date, time, received. They are decrypted on this computer; the server still does not know who this is.
3. Delete one, several or all results
- One or several
Choose the line (or several with Ctrl / Shift + click), then Delete selection. The confirmation recalls that it is irreversible; type the Reason “father's request” (optional, kept on this computer only), then Delete permanently.
“1 result(s) deleted on the server; it will refuse to receive them again.” The server keeps a trace without content of this result: if EVENT publishes it again, it is refused (“deleted on request”).
- All
Delete all deletes everything the server keeps for her, with the same confirmation.
4. Publish nothing more
- Publish results
Untick Publish results.
“The server now refuses any result of this athlete, from any computer.” EVENT can no longer publish her results: the server refuses them, from any computer. EVENT no longer reads anything of hers. Without Internet, the refusal is kept and sent as soon as possible.
- Later
If the family changes its mind, tick the box again (from any computer): EVENT can publish her official results again. Those that were deleted do not come back.
