# How do I record competition results?

> Record a result for each athlete per event from the Results page, in the right unit for the result type.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * Available on plans that include **Competitions** (defaults off) — if you don't see it, ask your Uplifter contact.
  * Results are **admin-only** — there is no public results portal or leaderboard.
  * Each category has one result type, set when you build the competition, and each type has its own unit and format.
</Note>

Record results from **Athletes → Results**. Pick the competition, then the event/category you're scoring.

The five result types are:

* **Time** — timed events.
* **Distance** — measured distance.
* **Height** — measured height.
* **Score** — a points score.
* **Placement** — a finishing place.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select the competition and category">
    On the Results page, choose the competition and click the category tab you want to score.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter each athlete's result">
    Pick the athlete and enter their value. Times are entered in **milliseconds** (for example, 12345 for 12.345s) and distances and heights in **millimeters** (for distance, 5230 is 5.23m; for height, 2010 is 2.01m); the field's helper text spells out the format for Time, Distance, Height, and Score. Placement categories use a plain number field with no format hint.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save each result">
    Record results one athlete at a time. Each result you save is added to the results table below.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Values are stored in a single canonical unit per result type — milliseconds for times, millimeters for distances and heights — and displayed back in the right format for that event, so the results table always shows them correctly.
