The pages
Leaderboards (home) has the team totals (including the team's entry-to-podium rate), the overall table, the podium and the top athlete of each season. Under Athletes: Profiles shows one athlete's training and comps, placings, best lifts and progress; Best Lifts shows the heaviest weight in every category or every event (switch between them at the top), and a leaderboard you can switch between a whole category and one event; Athlete List lists everyone in the Pit Family, past or present, with their status, when they started training and their current weight class. Equipment lists the gym's implements with their empty weight and where they're stored. Results lists every event from every comp, with its own search, a CSV download and a CSV import.
Points, totals and podium rates
Each comp scores on the overall placing in the athlete's own division: 1st 10 points, 2nd 7, 3rd 5, 4th 3, any other finish 1. Every event win adds 2. Season and career tables add these up.
Total lifted is the weight moved at a comp: each completed lift's weight times its reps (a carry, hold or single lift counts the implement once). Missed lifts count nothing, and truck and sled pulls are left out. It shows on each comp in a profile, as a column in the career standings, and as a Total lifted option on the podium.
Entry to podium is the share of comp entries that finished 1st, 2nd or 3rd overall: for the whole team in the totals at the top of Leaderboards, and for each athlete in their profile. It follows the filters.
Training
Switch Add results to Training to log a training session. Training lifts count towards best lifts (marked with a red Training tag) and show in red in the athlete's Comp/Training history, in date order with their comps. They don't count towards points, comps, podiums, seasons or athlete of the year.
Events, lifts and medleys
An event is what a comp scores and places: its name, category, time, distance, reps and placing. A lift is one implement: a lift name, category, weight, reps and distance. A normal event is a single lift. A medley is one event made of several lifts done in sequence (a carry medley, an overhead medley, a deadlift ladder, a stone series): tick Medley? in Add results and add each implement as a lift. A missed lift is entered as 0 reps.
Categories: Log Press, Axle Press, Other Overhead, Overhead Medley, Mixed Medley, Deadlift, Atlas Stones, Yoke/Zercher, Farmer's/Frame, Carry/Loading Medley, Sandbag, Throwing, Truck/Sled Pull and Other. Overhead Medley and Mixed Medley are for whole events only; the lifts inside them keep their own category. Pick lift names from the list so the same lift groups together; use Add new lift only for something not already there.
Best lifts
A best lift is the heaviest completed weight, with more reps, more distance or a faster time breaking a tie. It's worked out from every individual lift, so a lift inside a medley counts the same as a solo lift, and a missed lift (0 reps) doesn't count. Training lifts count too. Best lifts can be shown per category or per individual lift (event). Farmer's weights are both hands combined. Compare like with like: a 1-rep max and a reps-for-time event are not the same test.
Filters and pop-ups
The filter bar (season, category, division, weight class, search and a date range) shows on Leaderboards and the Athletes pages, and your choices stay as you move between them. The date range shows all dates to start with: drag the two handles to look at any stretch of months (the bars show how many results each month has), and use SPO AU Only to jump to May 2024 onwards. Results always lists everything and has its own search. Hover over a number with a dotted underline, or a point on a chart, to see what's behind it; on a phone, tap it.
Results marked "to confirm"
Some results were recorded briefly or are a best guess, such as medleys where only the total reps are known. They carry a "to confirm" tag until the athlete checks them. To clear or add the tag, Edit the entry and tick or untick To confirm on the event.
Adding and fixing results
Gym owners sign in (Sign in, in the menu), then add a comp with Add results, or fix one with Edit in the athlete's profile. Use Download all results on the Results page to keep your own copy. Use the same competition name as an existing entry so athletes at the same comp line up. Picking a comp fills in its date and venue; once the weight class matches someone already entered at that comp, the events fill in too (names, lifts, implement weights and medley lifts), leaving the athlete's own reps, times, places and max weights for you to add.
Clear empties the form. To delete an entry, open it with Edit and use Delete this entry (tap twice). Each event can have a video link, such as a public Instagram post, which shows as Watch on Instagram.
