Dobré vědět předtím, než začnete
- Type of results is a template for creating final race results. It is a combination of settings that guide calculation of results-lists within a race from provided race data.
- In real-life scenarios, multiple results are calculated for the same race (National, District, Group of clubs, Club results...). Types of results in MyPigeons allow you to create different results for the same race.
- In a normal scenario, you create a set of types for your district once and reuse them every season. If you make bigger changes to the way results are calculated between seasons, deactivate the old types and create a new set so you do not affect previously calculated results.
- You cannot delete types of results that have already been used for calculation. To delete such a type, delete all existing results first.
- When editing existing types, mind that you can also affect the display of existing calculated results. Consider creating a new type for bigger changes.
- Some settings cannot be changed after creation (age category, results specification). Be careful when choosing them — the only fix is to create a new type and delete or deactivate the wrong one.
- After creating a new type, do not forget to define the results composition (fanciers, clubs or districts to include). It is a common mistake to skip this step — results cannot be calculated without it.
Creating a new type of results
Creating a type of results can be done in two steps — filling out the new type form and defining the results composition. The list of available settings is long and can feel overwhelming for new administrators, and it grows with every new country that adopts MyPigeons with its specific rules.
This guide explains each available setting and shows how it affects results calculation, so you have a complete understanding of how to use it in your district.
Požadovaná úroveň přístupu
To access types-of-results administration, you need to be logged in and your account must have the District administrator access level for the district you want to change. Ask your country administrator to grant this access if you need it.
Once you are set as District administrator, you will see the administration panel under the race plan of your district.
Link for types administration is under the race plan of each district
Order, name and description
These are basic fields for showing created types or existing calculated results to fanciers.
- Order is not shown directly, but it determines the order in which existing types appear in the list, so users always find the same type of results in the same place.
- Name is displayed as the first item in the list of existing results. It usually describes the results composition. Examples:
- Baghdad Championship → results for all fanciers from Baghdad district with point championship.
- Budapest FCI → results of all fanciers from Budapest district with FCI conditions and coefficients.
- Zone E → a defined zone or group of clubs within a district.
- Description is displayed in brackets next to the name. It usually informs about specifics like FCI rules, special championships, or which clubs are included.
Shortcut for cage cards
On printed cage cards there is only a little space to show what results were used to display the pigeon performance record. Agree on a country-wide convention for marking types with shortcuts, so you can easily distinguish what kind of results they represent.
Example from Slovakia, season 2016:
NP— National resultsREG— regional results (groups of districts, usually >200 fanciers)OZ— district results (usually 5–10 clubs, >100 fanciers)VS— group of clubs (usually 3–4 clubs within a district)SP— sub-group of clubs (usually 2 clubs within 1 group of clubs)ZO— club results

If your country recognises a young-birds season, you need to create one set of types also for young-birds races. These types will be available only in young-birds races.
Once a type of results is created, this setting cannot be changed. If you made a mistake, delete it and create a new one.
Specifikace výsledků
There are 3 types of results specification:
- Oficiální FCI výsledky: results are calculated according to FCI restrictions. Some settings are disabled for this specification (rounding, prize percentage, pigeon listing options). FCI results are calculated only with at least 20 participating fanciers and 150 pigeons.
- Vlastní výsledky: most flexible specification. Allows you to change all results parameters. Custom results are not used for FCI Olympic-category calculation, even when FCI coefficients are turned on. Mostly used for championships or in countries that are not FCI members.
- Experimentální výsledky: same as Custom types. Results are marked as experimental to show fanciers they are not official for championship calculation. Useful when you want to try a new method, see how it goes for a season, then decide.
FCI results and primary competitions
If you use FCI results and also calculate a primary score competition (e.g. point championship), respect the minimum FCI requirements (20 fanciers, 150 pigeons). If your district or club may not meet these in some races, your primary competition will break because of missing results — typical in smaller clubs at the end of the season. In that case, also calculate the same results as Custom alongside FCI: you keep FCI from all eligible races for Olympic categories and a complete season for primary competition score.
Složení výsledků
There are 3 types of results composition:
- Organizace: best when you want whole-district results (all members). Future changes (new members, new clubs) are reflected automatically. A good choice for combined results (regional or national) — less work than selecting clubs. Even when excluding a few members, prefer this option (use the Excluded fanciers feature).
- Kluby: use when creating results for a group of clubs within your district. For example, when 2 of your 5 clubs want results together.
- Chovatelé: special setting for cases needing exact fancier selection — members from different clubs, not whole clubs. A good example is distance-zone results from selected liberation points. Do not use for excluding individuals — use the Excluded fanciers feature instead.
Don't forget to set the actual results composition
A common mistake is to create a type and then forget to set its results composition. In that case you get a warning message saying no fanciers were found for the results you are trying to calculate.
Statistiky pro záhlaví
Check this checkbox if there are multiple clubs in your district results, or multiple districts in combined results. When checked, results are calculated together with a simple statistics table for each club or district — number of fanciers, basketed pigeons, acquired prizes, success rate (% of own pigeons with prizes), and % of birds with prizes (basic indicator of club/district performance against the others).
