Special Start Time Assignment and Pursuit
When drawing Stage 2 and later stages, there is a check box Use functions for multi stage class under Draw on the page Classes. If you check this, you get access to the methods Pursuit and Reversed pursuit.Pursuit
Enter First start. The leader start at this moment. Other competitors start at the time they are behind. You can apply a time scaling; if you enter 0.5 all times will be scaled by the factor 0.5 – if you are 1 minute behind, you will start 30 seconds behind. Maximum time after specifies the maximum time (time scaling included) that the competitor at most may be behind the leader to be included in the pursuit. Everyone that has a longer total time start in an interval start (ordered by result). The first start time for the interval start is First time for restart and you specify the interval in Start interval.Hint
Use 0:00 in the field Maximum time after to create a seeded interval start where the best start first. In this case, the fields First start and Time scaling have no effect. If you check Start pairwise, the competitors will start in pairs.

Reversed Pursuit
Reversed pursuit works similar to pursuit, but the interpretation of the fields is slightly modified.Those less than Maximum time after the leader starts in a reversed pursuit, e.g., the person with the longest time starts first (at the moment specified by First start) and the leader starts last (when depends on how much longer time the person that started first has).
Competitors that did not pass the previous stages, or are longer after than the maximum time, start in the interval start beginning at First time for restart. This time may be set to before or after the first start. Competitors that did not pass earlier stages start at the end.
You can use Time scaling and you can put Maximum time after to 0:00 for a reversed seeded start order. You can also use pairwise start.
