Start Time Allocations

[Karen B]

I also think fatboys suggestion is good. I requested and got an early start for day 1 (10:00am and much good it did me), but was a bit surprised to get the last start on day 2.

Also you need your competitors to enter before closing date and programmes sent out. It took everyt evening from date starts allocated til Thurs before easter to insert times for these late entries and those who suddenly feel they can't run thecourse they entered and need to change. I can tell you having done a few events that anyone moaning would soon be cured if they had to spend the time the entries secretary spends on start times even with the existing software. The seeds have to be considered then there's club members being seperated then there can be courses with similar first control. Oh and don't forget split starts helper starts and special requests!!!!!It is a mine field.

just needs somebody to knock up some entries software that can export the nicely worked out start times into the results software

You can get the start times from WinSplits Online. Depending on how these were sent from the results the actual times may be wrong (the JK was a night event??) but the relative start times are OK.

Spare a thought for the entries team of the Scottish 6 Day event who try to keep everyone every day.
The first 700 entry forms had 100 special requests. (Everybody can't run early on Day6!)
