Timekeeping Without Controls

Updated: 2019-05-14

MeOS is well suited for timekeeping in general, even without an orienteering course with controls. It is also possible to use technical systems for timekeeping, for example SportIdent, for electronic timekeeping and splits or laps.

• Create a new competition.
• When selecting functions in MeOS, select Only timekeeping (no Courses). This corresponds to the function Timekeeping / Without courses in the list of functions in MeOS. The main effect of this setting is that the tab Courses and other settings for courses are hidden.
• You can still add controls. The point of having controls (with names) for certain punch codes, is that these can be displayed in result lists (for splits).
• You can use the function Manual Input on the page SportIdent, or electronic timekeeping.
• If you are using electronic timekeeping, you can activate Result on Finish Punch on the page Classes.

Lap Count

MeOS can count the number of finished laps. After each lap the participant punches a lap control and at finish a finish control. You can use this for a competition type where you have to make as many laps as possible in a set time. Use any of the lists Count Laps and Count Laps with Extra Time on the page Lists. The latter variant presupposes that there is a control for split time out on the course that the participant should punch (over and above the lap control) to register a lap.
