Importing Races

What's New: Importing from o-l.ch

The new event list, name search and everything else that changed in the o-l.ch import.

Why the import changed

Swiss Orienteering stopped offering results as IOF XML on o-l.ch. Contoura now uses the official o-l.ch export formats instead. Races you imported before are not affected.

Pick events instead of copying links

You no longer need to look up your race on o-l.ch and copy its address. Contoura shows all published results directly, with search and a year selector. For preparations, it lists all upcoming events with a published start list.

Import page with the list of events published on o-l.ch — Races → Import race → Browse events.

Find yourself across all classes

After picking an event, search for your name — it is prefilled from your profile. Contoura searches all classes at once, so you do not need to know your class. You can still pick the class directly.

Name search showing matching athletes with class and finish time — Click your entry to open your class with your name already selected.

Other improvements

Links still work: the "Paste link" tab accepts results and start list addresses from o-l.ch.
The Livelox link of the event is saved automatically when o-l.ch lists one.
The discipline is detected from o-l.ch when available.
Full names and clubs are imported from the results (no truncation).
Pairs and teams (e.g. team or school races) are imported with all names.
If the results contain no start time, the GPS matching uses the start time from your preparation.
A preparation and the result of the same event are linked automatically — also when one was imported from the list and the other from a link.

Limitations

Relay team overall rankings have no split times per runner — import your leg from the leg results ("Strecken").
A few events are published without split times (e.g. some MTB-O races) and cannot be analysed control by control.
o-l.ch shortens long names in start lists to about 22 characters.
