For field officials

Field events, measured and on the scoreboard in seconds

PolyField is an app for the officials at each pit, circle and runway, and a results server for the whole meet. It connects to your EDM and runs on a dedicated Wi-Fi network. Use the app on its own, or with the server.

Field events live board: James Carter, senior men's shot put, 18.42 metres in first place, with long jump, high jump and a shot put foul below

Key features

Built for the officials on the field

Officials record each attempt once. Results reach the scoreboards, the announcer and your competition management system straight away. See how it all fits together.

  • Calibration wizard

    Step by step: set the circle centre, check the edge against UK Athletics and World Athletics tolerance, then mark the sector line.

  • Multiple-event calibration

    Calibrate several events and choose the right one for each. Javelin next to a discus and hammer circle? Calibrate all three up front and save the stress later.

  • Multiple jump boards

    Calibrate every take-off board before the competition, then measure accurately from each with no mental maths. Long and triple jump, all boards in, once.

  • Accessible

    Clear colours, large text and an optional voice read-out that speaks each result: bib, name, round and distance.

Weight throw heat map with 31 throws plotted in the sector by athlete, and fouls listed separately at the bottom

Heat maps

Every landing, mapped

The EDM measures where each throw lands, so every mark is plotted in the sector, athlete by athlete, with fouls alongside.

Coming to OpenTrack. OpenTrack will support these heat maps for meets run with PolyField.
