HOW TO SUBMIT ORIENTEERING RESULTS TO
Anchorage Daily News (and website)
1. Please try hard to submit results the same day as the event, or the next day at the latest; otherwise, the ADN may not publish them. If, before the meet, you realize this will not be possible, try to find a volunteer to do this for you.
2. Embed the results in an email to sports@adn.com (they want the results embedded, not as an attachment). Their phone number is 257-4335. Please also email the results to the Webmaster (scroll to the bottom) .
3. The ADN will accept results in text format only, embedded in an email. Do not attach Excel, Word, .txt, or other types of files to your email.
4. They will not accept results if there are any joke or crude names.
5. They will not accept results if first and last names are not included. Be sure that participants sign up with both first & last name. If you don’t have a full name, then make a good guess or leave them out of the results.
6. Please report results separately for each class (men, women, teams).
7. Please use the following format:

8. This EXCEL spreadsheet contains a little program (macro) that saves the results in the above format. Use of this spreadsheet is not required but is encouraged, so that everyone's results contain the same basic information and have the same "look." NOTE: For this to work, BEFORE you open the file, EXCEL macro security must be set to medium (via Tools->Macro->Security...) and AFTER you open the file you must click "enable macros" when prompted.
