Event Archiving (events over 4 years old)

Starting Sept. 10, 2024, ChronoTrack will begin archiving events that have a start date occurring more than 4 years ago. When an Event is archived, all data for the event is sent to storage and kept safe until needed again. We do this to ensure system performance under heavy usage with the vast amounts of data on our platform. 

Chip Timing Data (events over 6 months old)

In late 2018, we began archiving tag reads for CT Live events older than 6 months to improve our calculation engine across the board. When an event is archived, all of the tag reads in the event are removed from the calculation engine and preserved in a storage environment.

FAQ

• I need to make changes to timing data or access data that has been Archived. Can my event be un-archived?
  Yes. If you need to make adjustments to timing data in an archived event, simply click the Unarchive Event button in the upper right corner of the screen, then confirm in the pop-up.
  • Unarchive in 1.0
  • Unarchive in 2.0
• Do results get archived too?
  No. After an event is archived, results are preserved and remain published in Athlinks and the CT Results Widget.
• How does my event change after it's archived?
  • For Events that have just Chip times archived (events over 6 months old), You will no longer see any timing data for athletes in the event and may not have access to some scoring-related features while your event is archived.
  • For Events that are over 4 years old, you will be locked out of making any changes to the event until the event has been unarchived. This is done to keep the event in its original state and prevent any errors from occurring until data has been restored.
• I made adjustments to people's timing data in my event. Do those changes get wiped out?
  No. Edits to tag reads (Force, Skip, etc.) and Manual tag reads are fully preserved.
• Can I clone archived events?
  • If the event is over 6 months old and just chip time data is archived, events can still be cloned without being unarchived. 
  • If the event is over 4 years old, the event must be unarchived for the event to be cloned.
