resultatkort

Resultatkort is a term used in Nordic languages to denote a card or form that records the outcome of a competition, examination, or activity. It serves as an official record and a means to communicate results.

In sports, a resultatkort functions as the official record of a match or race. It is typically completed by a scorekeeper or judge and may include the final score, participants or teams, date and location, and sometimes details such as goal scorers, times, penalties, and standings. The information on the card is used to update league tables, determine rankings, and inform teams, officials, and spectators.

In educational and training contexts, a resultatkort can summarize assessment results for an individual or group. It may list subjects or criteria, marks or grades, dates of assessment, and any notes on performance. Such a card can be used to communicate progress to students, guardians, or administrators and to maintain records over time.

Other applications include event programming, quizzes, or club activities, where a resultatkort provides a concise summary of outcomes. With digital systems, resultatkort are often electronic and integrated into databases or event management software, allowing automatic generation and distribution of results while facilitating data storage and analysis.

Etymology: the word combines resultat (result) and kort (card). The concept is used across Nordic countries to provide a standardized, portable record of outcomes.
