Teams, Relays, and Classes with Several Races
MeOS support relays of different kinds as well as other special forms of competitions, such as patrol, individuals forks, an integrated prologue + pursuit. Any class with more than one course or leg are collectively referred to as a multi class.Hint
You can mix multi classes and normal individual classes in the same competition.
Ensure that the functionality you need to use is activated under MeOS features on the page Competition.

Individual Classes with Forked Courses
If you have activated forked courses but not team classes, you will find the button Courses with Forks on the page Classes. Clicking it shows the settings for individual classes:- Simultaneous start lets all competitors start at a given moment.
- Use course pool When finishing, MeOS will match the course in the card with one of the courses of the class (Courses of the leg). You don&[Unknown function 039;t]have to decide which course to run in advance (Model: take any map and run!)
- Courses of the leg Assign courses to the class by selecting courses from the list and clicking Add.
Team Classes
If you have activated support for any kind of team class, you will find the button Several Courses / Relay on the page Classes. This starts the guide Changing Legs, which is used to define a multi class. You can select from a number of predefined forms of competition. For some of the forms, you need to provide data for Start time and/or Number of Legs. The following options exist (depending on which functionality you have activated).- Only one course removes all legs and courses. The class is no longer a multi class.
- No settings create a multi class with the number of legs you provide, but makes no other settings.
- Course pool, simultaneous start sets up an individual class with a course pool and a simultaneous start. Click Confirm. You should provide a number of courses, but competitors and course are tied at readout. You need not decide in advance who runs which course. If you wish to assign courses in advance, deselect Use Course Pool. Then courses are instead by start number, see Course Assignment.
- Course Pool, drawn start list is as above, but with a drawn start list.
- Prologue + Pursuit. Settings for one competitor, but with two legs. You need to draw start times for the first leg. The start list on the second leg is decided automatically from the result of the first leg.
- Patrol, 2 SI-cards is a patrol class with two competitors in each patrol. Each patrol member is supposed to have a SI-card.
- Patrol, 1 SI-card is a patrol class as above, but with one SI-card for each patrol.
- Pair- or single class allows patrols with one or two competitors, that is, you may run individually or in a pair.
- Relay is a normal relay with number of legs you specify.
- Two Runner Relay is a relay were each team has two runners, taking turns to run. If you specify four legs, team member A will run leg 1 and 3, and member B will run leg 2 and 4.
- Co-runner relay is a type of relay where up to three runners are allowed on the mid leg. The first runner to finish of the three will send out leg 3. For the team to have status OK, the runner sending out must have status OK. The other runners on the mid leg need not take all controls or finish. This is typically used on youth classes, so that beginners can try running a relay without feeling any pressure.
Note
In general, you should avoid changing team settings in classes where there are already teams or competitors. But some changes will work. MeOS will try to shape or reshape teams of the already existing runners.
Click Confirm to apply the changed settings. You will now see a table with settings for each leg, preset according to the selected type of class, see Manual Leg Settings for more information.In general, you should avoid changing team settings in classes where there are already teams or competitors.
