PolyField App connects to a server that can run on Mac, Linux and Windows. This server is the brains of the application, housing results and managing the download and upload from competition managment providers like Athletics.app, Roster Athletics and Open Track.
The server is backwards compatible with FieldLynx/NetExchange, supporting the EVT and LFF file formats for defining events and exporting results.
All our visulisations are created here, giving the optimum athlete, official and spectator experience.
Set the file directories in the server
This links the local disk for storage of the event and result files, enabling competitions to continue even if the internet fails. The result files are fully compatible with FieldLynx systems, allowing Polyfield to integrate with any providers that support FieldLynx via NetExchange through their own 3rd party agents. This includes; LynxPad, Hy-Tek, Athletics.net via athleticLIVE, Meet PRO.
The link to PolyField Analytics is also setup here, allowing heatmap generation and web upload for all throws events.
