Information about file formats supported by WinSplits Online

WinSplits Online supports a number of split time file formats. If the event administration software is not able to create files in any of the following formats, please e-mail info@winsplits.se. Software developers who want to adapt their software to WinSplits Online should consider using the IOF XML format.

IOF XML

The XML standard of the International Orienteering Federation specifies how to represent information related to orienteering events. Split time files in XML format can be created using a number of systems, including OLA (the event administration software of the Swedish Orienteering Federation), Emit's eTiming (version 1.9.7.0 and later) and Sport Software's software from 2003 onwards. At least the following information should be presented for each runner:

• Name
• Club
• Competitor status
• Start time
• Finish time
• Control codes and punch times (relative to the start time) of all controls of the runner's course (the time element should be empty for controls that have not been visited)
