Athletics Alberta sanctioned events only

• E-mail them to us OR tell us where they're posted on the web.
• You must include the official EVENT NAME, LOCATION (city), and DATE in the body of the message, for results to be correctly posted here.
• We prefer not to link to websites with pop-up ads. If your results are posted on such a site, please email us the results.
• For emailed results, plain text is preferred (space-delimited)—for other accepted formats see below.
• Only results from Athletics Alberta sanctioned events will be linked or posted here.

Accepted file formats for emailed event results:

• Plain text: is always safe, works if you're PC or Mac-based. Save as a .TXT file or paste unformatted text into the body of the email. Use Courier font, space-delimited columns, no tabs.
• Excel: results only, no extra pages or columns of data, no macros or references to other documents, font plain Arial/Helvetica size 10pt, do not split one event into separate worksheets.
• MS Word: minimal formatting, font Arial/Helvetica or Courier 10pt, little or no graphics (small files only), no underlining (this is reserved for hyperlinks)
• PDF: keep file size small by using universal fonts such as Arial or Helvetica or Times New Roman, little or no graphics, no "nearly blank" or blank pages; make sure page margins are at least 1/2" all around for printing; split large files into several smaller ones (sorted by events, categories, or just groups of pages, for example)
• Users of Hy-Tek's Meet Manager, see below for special instructions.

Special note for users of "Hy-Tek's Meet Manager" – if you are not importing results into Excel:

Please output your results in single column format, no mid-line breaks, with end of line consecutive blank spaces removed, columns as far left as possible while still aligned, and all page break headers removed except the first one, including "...continued" lines where an event is broken between 2 pages (it's all one page on the web).

Use WordPad or similar text editing program to edit the file, use Find...Replace command or manual select & delete. Please leave a blank line before each event for readability. Save file as plain text with extension ".txt".

Sorry, Hy-Tek results files not formatted this way will not be posted.

Thank you to those of you who are sending files correctly formatted!
