RecordBoard fits into your workflow
RecordBoard handles the full meet — registration, entries, flight management, judging, live scoreboards, and result exports. The only thing you bring is your timing system.
How it fits together
Your existing tools
- FinishLynx (timing)

Outputs connect back
- Start lists → FinishLynx
- Results ← FinishLynx .LIF
- Live results → Daktronics board
- .tcl export → TFRRS
- Results → Athletic.net
Supported integrations
Each integration is built to work with the exact file formats these tools already use — no middleware, no custom exports.
RecordBoard handles everything from registration to results. Your timing system is the only external piece you need.
FinishLynx
BidirectionalYour timing system and your field event app — finally talking to each other.
RecordBoard exports start lists directly to FinishLynx and imports results back automatically. The RecordBoard desktop app (Windows .exe / macOS .dmg) runs alongside FinishLynx on the timing operator's laptop — double-click to launch, no terminal, no config files, no new hardware.
- Exports .PPL / .SCH / .EVT start list files for FinishLynx
- Imports .LIF result files back into RecordBoard
- Desktop app installer for Windows (.exe) and macOS (.dmg)
- Auto-syncs results with <5 second latency — lives in the system tray
- Zero new hardware required
Daktronics Scoreboard
Live outputRunning event scoreboards update automatically — no operator needed between heats.
RecordBoard Sync sends live results to Daktronics All Sport 5000 and Venus 7000 controllers via UDP RTD packets. TRACK boards auto-follow the active running event — no manual reassignment between heats. FIELD boards let operators choose which field event to display. Requires a LAN connection between the laptop running Sync and the Daktronics controller.
- TRACK boards auto-follow the active running event — no reassignment between heats
- FIELD boards display the competition the operator selects
- Supports Daktronics All Sport 5000 and Venus 7000 controllers
- UDP RTD FLD packet protocol — same interface Daktronics expects
- Configured in RecordBoard Sync — enter controller IP and port, hit Connect
TFRRS
ExportResults go straight to the NCAA database — no reformatting, no extra steps.
RecordBoard exports a HyTek-compatible .tcl file that uploads directly to TFRRS, the official NCAA results database. Your existing TFRRS pipeline keeps working exactly as before.
- HyTek-compatible .tcl export format
- Direct upload to TFRRS — no intermediate step
- Supports all field events: throws, jumps, combined
- Compliant with NCAA reporting requirements
- Works alongside existing Hy-Tek Meet Manager workflows
Athletic.net
ExportYour athletes' marks still show up on athletic.net. One click after each event.
RecordBoard exports results in Athletic.net's semi-colon delimited (HyTek-format) file — the same file athletic.net has accepted for years. Export per competition while the meet is still running, or push the full meet when it finalizes. Nothing changes for coaches checking results.
- Per-competition export button on the results page — export each event as it closes
- Meet-level export covers all events at once when the meet finalizes
- Auto-push on finalization — results sync to athletic.net without any manual step
- HyTek semi-colon delimited format — same file athletic.net has always accepted
- No re-entry, no intermediate software, no reformatting
HyTek Entry Import
ImportCoaches submit entries the way they always have — RecordBoard picks it up.
RecordBoard reads Athletic.net and DirectAthletics entry exports directly, so coaches can use their existing entry workflow without changing anything. Meet directors get clean entry data in RecordBoard automatically.
- Reads Athletic.net entry export files
- Reads DirectAthletics entry export files
- Coaches use their existing entry submission process
- Athletes and events populated automatically
- Eliminates manual re-entry of athlete data
