At the POTOC Leek event on 3rd Nov competitors were informed that "SIAC was not working". A box can only be enabled or disabled for SIAC punching through software, so it needs to be connected to a computer. I was told the boxes has been working in SIAC mode at a previous event and that they had not been connected to a computer. It therefore seemed very likely that the boxes were in SIAC mode and this turned out to be the case.
It is important to remember that a SI Card is normally turned on in SIAC mode when it inserted into the check box. It is also worth noting that a box is only turned on in SIAC mode through the insertion of a SI Card and it only remains in SIAC mode for its timeout period unless that is extended by the actual insertion of a SI Card into the box. This has implications for the setting of the timeout period to ensure the same experience for all competitors. If all competitors have SIAC dibbers the timeout period should cover the time from wakeup to last competitor.
