Preparations

Updated: 2015-03-18

MeOS support for several stages is built on separate events for each stage. Every stage is a totally standalone competition, and different stages can run on independent computer systems without knowing of each other. To transfer results between stages, you have to save (import) both stages locally on one computer, where you transfer results from stage to the next. There are two typical usage scenarios:

Scenario One: All Stages Created from One Source

This approach is suitable when the competitors or teams registers for the entire competition (all stages) at once. You have one file with entires, and will use these for all stages.
Hint
Assign bibs and draw the start list to add vacancies before creating several stages. Then the competitors will get the same bib in each stage. You can also cut and paste bibs between the stages using the table mode, but that is more complicated.
If you later assign a vacant position or change class for a competitor, the next stage can automatically be updated with these changes when when you transfer results. However, you should not make major changes, like adding or splitting classes. Such changes must be manually transferred to the other stages, and the setup must be checked carefully for mistakes.
Hint
Do not create the stages until the time for late entries is due, unless you use vacant positions for all late entires.
If you need more stages, select Open next and repeat the procedure, until you got as many stages as is required.

You can now treat each stage independently, as separate events. You can add courses, draw the start lists etc.

Scenario Two: Loosely Tied Stages

If you prefer to make competitors (or teams) register independently entry for each stage, this is also possible to do in MeOS. You have now connected the two independent competitions, and are ready to transfer results from stage 1 to stage 2, as soon as results from stage 1 are ready.
