Import Entries

You can import entries from an external source rather than typing them in. The options are:

  • Excel / CSV
  • RC Race Pal
  • RC Signups
  • Joomla Event Booking

Duplicate entries (the same name, or the same transponder used in the same class) are marked red in the preview list. Fetched entries can be edited in the table before you continue.

Excel / CSV

Import entries from a spreadsheet or CSV — handy if you collect entries through Google Forms or any system that exports to a spreadsheet.

Expected columns are Name, Transponder and Class. You can also import multiple classes for one person in a single row:

Name, Class 1, Transponder 1, Class 2, Transponder 2, Class 3, Transponder 3
  • Column order doesn't matter and extra columns are ignored.
  • Column names are not case-sensitive.
  • Name may be name, or a First Name/Last Name pair (also Given Name/Surname) which are combined.
  • Class may be class or division.
  • Transponder may be transponder or tx, and must be a whole number.

Not the same as the Contestant Roster

This imports who's racing this event. To bulk-load your club's reusable driver list (a different spreadsheet format), see the Contestant Roster.

RC Race Pal

rcracepal.com manages events and club memberships, and lets racers manage their own transponders and assign them to classes for reuse.

On your club page in RC Race Pal, copy the club ID:

In Sensible Laps, choose RC Race Pal from the drop-down and paste the club ID into the box:

RC Signups

rcsignups.com lets entrants sign up online. Enter the track ID and click Get Events.

RC Signups

Joomla Event Booking

The same as RC Signups, but instead of a track ID enter the URL of the club's hosted Joomla events page.
