Course Assignment

Updated: 2012-11-13

A leg in a class has an ordered set of courses. These are assigned to the competitors, rolling, by start number.

Example

Suppose there are three courses, A, B and C. Runner 1 gets course A, runner 2 course B, runner 3 course C, runner 4 course A, runner 5 course B, and so on. To fork a relay with thre legs and three courses, you can assign courses ABC to leg 1, BCA to leg 2, and CAB to leg 3.

But this is not optimal. You will get more out of the forking if you put ABCABC on leg 1, BCACAB on leg 2 and CABBCA on leg 3. Then there are six possible orders to run the course: ABC, BCA, CAB, ACB, BAC, and CBA. These are all possible orders over three courses.

On the page Lists there is a list with the course assignment. For each competitor you see the assigned course.

MeOS Insight
If course pool is active, the course assignment is not final until the competitor has finished.
