# USEF Results Export

## **Sending Results to USEF**

This guide covers USEF's general results reporting requirements, and how to submit your results to USEF directly from Horse Spot.

### USEF's Results Requirements

USEF requires that all competition results be electronically submitted within 10 days following a licensed competition, including any corrections, changes, or additions to the prize list. Results must meet the criteria and format outlined in USEF's official result template, in accordance with GR12. Late results can result in a fine per USEF's rule GR1213.3.

For the full requirements, see USEF's official resources: Post-Competition Reporting, Competition Results, and the USEF Results Criteria page (all linked in the file).

**Initializing Your Show with USEF**

1. In Horse Spot, Go to Results, then select the Send Results to USEF tab.
2. If your show hasn't been initialized yet, you'll see a USEF Initialization Required message.
3. Click Initialize with USEF to complete this step.
   1. If you get a warning sign, "USEF settings not configured properly for this competition." Please ensure USEF affiliate is enabled and a valid competition year and number are provided.

This associates your show with Horse Spot and prevents other software providers from modifying or retrieving your results.

**Uploading Your Results**

You can do this by heading to Results > Send Results to USEF.

Alternatively, you can run a report by following these steps:

1. Go to Reports on your side navigation
2. Scroll down to Data Exports
3. Locate the "Results" Export
4. Ensure these fields are chosen
   1. Format: "2024 USEF Results Format" 
   2. Organization for Membership Numbers: "USEF - United States Equestrian Federation"
5. Click the blue "Generate" button
6. Email results over.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.horsespot.com/product-docs/show-day-tools/reporting-results-to-governing-bodies/usef-results-export.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
