Save, Move and Remove Competitions
You can move a competition between different computer systems by saving the competition as a file and import it on the other computer.- Go to the page Competition and click Save as File. The entire competition is saved as a standalone meosxml file.
- Start MeOS where you want to import the competition and select Import Competition. Choose the file you saved in the previous step. The competition is always opened as a new competition; you will not overwrite anything.
Hint
If you work with a server and want to continue locally (for example when taking down the competition), you save the competition as a file and import this on your local computer. If you prepare the competition at home, you can save it as a file, import it on a computer connected to the server and select Upload Competition on Server, see Using MeOS in a Network.
It is convenient to give different version of the competition different comments in order to keep the apart. You may for example use the pattern
To remove a competition, click Delete on the page Competition. You have to confirm this action. On a server it is not possible to remove an event if anyone else has opened it.

MeOS Insight
Each MeOS competition has a unique internal id that MeOS uses to keep track of different versions of the same competition. When you export and import a competition, this id is usually preserved. The id is used (for example) to identify the competition on a server or to link stages together. If you import a competition when there already is a competition with the same id, MeOS will ask if you want to import the competition as a version of the existing competition or as a new independent competition. If you plan to use the competition as a template for a new competition, the recommendation is to import it as a new independent competition.
