More About Classes

Updated: 2020-08-01

Section Adding Classes gives an overview of classes in MeOS. More settings are available if you check show advanced settings on the page Classes.

• In the field type, you can define different types of classes, for example elite, youth, open, or any arbitrary tag. You can use the class type to manually assign different fees to competitors in different classes.
• Start name is a name of the start, for example Start 1 and Start 2, but any name, for example the name of a sponsor, can be used. The name of the start is printed in the start list.
• Start blocks are used to generate minute start lists. If Start 1 has two entrances, the classes that use the first entrance should use start block 1 and the classes that use the second entrance should be assigned start block 2. You get one minute start list for each block.
• Status can be changed if you need to cancel an entire class. Fee refunded or No refund determines if the entry fee is included in the invoices. If you select fee refunded, there will be no fee for the class on the invoice.
• Free start time only means that MeOS will not automatically draw start times for the class. The runner&[Unknown function 039;s]start punch, if present, will be used irregardless of this setting. Only provide start punch units when you want to use start punches.
• Ignore start punch means that MeOS unconditionally ignores the start punch.
• Result on finish punch means that no card readout is necessary. MeOS will calculate the final result when the runner punches (the attached) finish control. If there is no coarse, the runner will automatically be given status OK. If there is a course, registered radio punches will be used as controls. If any punch is missing, the status is MP. If you read out the card, the registered punches will be replaced with actual card data.

Quick Settings

The command quick settings brings you to a table like form where certain settings can be changed for all classes at once. You can change the sort order for classes by chancing the number in the field index; MeOS sorts classes increasingly on this number.

If you have activated MeOS support for handling clubs and economy, you can also setup default entry fees for each class. Fee and Late fee refers to the entry fee and the fee for late entries, normal fees for adults. Reduced fee and Late reduced fee or the corresponding fee for young and elderly people running the class (age limits can be changed in Competition Settings on the page Competition). If you don&[Unknown function 039;t]enter anything in the field for reduced fee, no reduction applies. When you save the form, you may be asked if you want to update the fees for existing runners.

If you have activated MeOS support for bibs, you can make bib settings for each class here. The options are:

• Manual, meaning that MeOS will not assign bibs to the class automatically. You can assign bibs manually, for example when drawing start times.
• Consecutive, meaning that the first bib in the class follows the last bib of the previous class, optionally with a gap: the setting Number of reserved bib numbers between classes.
• None, meaning that MeOS will remove bibs from the class.
• You can also type in a number (or a combination letter-number, such as A100 or 100-E), which will be used as first number in the class.

If the class has teams, there is one more column where you can specify the team members&[Unknown function 039;]bibs in relation to the team&[Unknown function 039;s]bib. You can specify Same, Leg (100-1, 100-2, 100-3 etc), Increasing (100, 101, 102), or Independent, which means that can you assign team member bibs independently.

Result Calculation

If you want MeOS to calculate class results according to custom rules, you can select a result Modules in the field Result calculation, which will be visible if you display advanced settings. The rules will automatically be applied to participants or teams in results lists, results exports, and speaker support. Examples of possible rules:

• Time punishment instead of disqualification in case of missing punch.
• Disqualification if card check has not been carried out within a certain time interval before starting.
• Bonus seconds for leg wins for certain controls or the finish spurt.
• Time handicap based on age or participant-adapted value (you can, for example, use the field InputPoints for individually adapted input data)
• A rule that does not change the result but generates points, which can be used for an overall result in a series.
• A rule for teams that take calculates the sum of the times for the three fastest or third fastest time. Such a rule can be used in a youth competition to lift the pressure of individual competitors.

Functions

Use the command Bib to assign bibs to a class (this can also be done in connection with the drawing of start lists). Enter the first number used in the class. You can also remove bibs. To merge two classes into one, select one of the classes and click Merge Classes. Then you will choose the class to merge with, and click Merge. Conversely, you can use Split Class to break up a large class into several smaller classes.

Delete vacancies removes all remaining vacancies in all classes. Use this function at the end of the competition, when the final result list is to be prepared.
