See Djaho in action

Paste athletes straight from Excel

No file wrangling. Copy the rows in your spreadsheet, click Paste, and Djaho works out the columns for you — it detects tabs or commas, matches headings like “Van” or “Surname” automatically, and shows you the mapping with sample values before anything is saved. CSV files and PDF start sheets import too.

Re-importing the same file updates only what changed — no duplicates. Djaho even fixes the small stuff: type “hoerskool” and it quietly becomes “hoërskool”.

Races, and everyone in the right one

Build the programme once — a race per age and gender group, over one day or a whole weekend — and athletes drop into the right race by age and gender. Anyone left over appears in an Unallocated list, and one click checks that nobody is in the wrong race.

Adding a selection of athletes to a race tells you what doesn’t fit before it writes — “23 of these 34 are boys; this race is Girls 19” — so a mistake is a choice, never an accident.

Entry rules checked for you

Set the clauses from your own rule book once — team sizes, how many each team may enter, the age group a year of birth allows — and Djaho checks every team before the day, so a protest is answered before it is made.

Relays, done properly New

A relay is a race in its own right. The squad carries the bib, runners go on legs, labels print per leg, and start sheets read as crews. A runner can also have an individual race on the same day, and mixed relays warn you if the leg order doesn’t alternate.

Capture built for a real finish line

Two fast phases. As runners cross the line, click their bib or zap a barcode — that locks the finishing order. Then enter times in a second pass, with validation catching anything odd. Works on the network or completely offline.

Electronic timing, two laptops, no network

Using timing gear? Point Djaho at the timing laptop’s folder and finish times flow in instead of being typed. One laptop can scan placings while another types times — live, on the same database. And if the finish line has no network at all, capture on a laptop and hand results back by file.

The finish-line board For the big screen

Plug a projector or TV into the capture laptop and Djaho puts a second window on it. While a race comes in, the leaders stay up top and the field scrolls beneath. When it’s done, the board reads the full result from first place down. Between races it turns over cards — what’s next, every finished race’s top three, and your own sponsor pictures.

Results out in one click Race-day favourite

The moment a race is captured, hit Auto-Post — or just press Alt+P. Djaho silently prints the result sheet to your results-board printer, copies a formatted table to the clipboard, and drops a CSV and HTML file in your results folder. You choose which outputs, per meeting. No dialogs, no clicking through menus while 200 kids wait.

Gold, silver and bronze markers are designed to stay readable on a black-and-white printout.

Team and individual scoring, your rules

Top-N scorers, lowest total wins — set per meeting. Choose how ties are broken, whether B teams score, and what happens to a team that can’t field a full set of scorers: rank last, take a penalty, or be left off the standings.

The reports an organiser asks for at the end

When a championship finishes, the paperwork is one click each — on screen and on paper, all following the meeting’s own relay and scoring settings.

Printouts that carry your brand

Load your competition logo and each meeting's host logo, and they appear on every programme, start sheet, label and result sheet you print. Distances show in km or miles, a weekend meeting prints day by day, and you can weave comments into the printed programme, right between the races.

Barcode bib labels

Print a label for every bib with a barcode on it, then scan it at the line — no hunting for names in a list. Number the sheets across the page or down the column, to match how your table is laid out.

Live results and online entries

Publish results to djaho.co.za as each race lands, and parents follow along on their phones — nothing to install. Take entries online too: individuals or whole teams, with the fee and payment details up front, then pull them into Djaho with one click. Djaho never touches the money; payment goes straight to you.

Team managers can paste their whole team list from Excel instead of typing it. Entries show a PAID tick and an unpaid-by-team report. Dates of birth are never shown publicly.

And that's not the half of it

Djaho runs the whole season, not just one Saturday.
