Using this form any names in lists, e.g. entrants lists of a race, can be assigned with hyperlinks to DUV statistics database, Google and other databases containing race results. For names with perfect matches to the DUV database the personal best of this runner on a selectable reference discipline is shown or all performances of each runner for the previous and the current year.
Without much effort it is possible to get an overview on the capabilities of a starting field.

Hints

Delimiters

For users of Firefox, Opera, or Chrome:
Paste a tabular list of names, e.g. a starter list from the website of a race, into the text field and choose 'Tab' as delimiter.

For users of Internet Explorer and MS Edge:
Internet Explorer and Edge use space to delimit columns when pasting HTML tables into text fields. Since space can also be part of names unambigous allocation of columns to first and last name is not possible with this delimiter. As workaround please paste the table from the website into Excel. In Excel copy the table again into clipboard, paste into the text field of this form and choose 'Tab' as delimiter.

Column assignment

Either the two columns first (given name) and last name (surname) or original name or DUVID are mandatory. First and last name must not be in the same column.

If the starter list contains year of birth or date of birth of runners then please provide a column number for this as well, because this will be used for determining a unique runner ID in cases where first and last name is ambiguous.

Optionally you can provide column numbers for age category or race number(bib). These will then show up in the output table and can be used for sorting the results.
All other columns will be ignored.

Miscellaneous

Google search term:
When searching with Google it is helpful to use an additional criterium other than the athlete's names in order to reduce hit counts. For (Ultra-) runners the search term 'Marathon' might be of avail to restrict hits to results and reports of marathon races.
When searching in Italian or Spanish language area this could be replaced by 'maratona/maraton'.
You can enter any term in this field or leave it completely empty.
