Managing multiple competitions in one MeOS competition
If you have two (or more) independent competitions held at the same time in the same location, it can be convenient to manage them in one competition in MeOS to be able to share infrastructure, such as card readout, direct entry and so on.Suppose that you have two files with entries, two sets of classes, courses, etc. To avoid confusion, the classes should have unique names (although MeOS allows multiple classes to share names). The risk of linking the course path to the wrong class is also significantly reduced (the course files usually use the name of the class to link course to class).
If the classes from the two sources also have different IDs, it&[Unknown function 039;s]really just a matter of first importing the data for one competition and then the data for the other competition. MeOS will add the new classes, and the participants will get the correct class because the class IDs are different. If, on the other hand, the IDs of the classes overlap, that is, the same ID is used in the two competitions for different classes, special handling is required.
In the form for importing entry data, there is a field at the bottom for shifting class IDs, Offset class ID. Here you enter a number, preferably something like 1000, which is added to the class ID, both when the classes are created and when the class ID of the registrations is interpreted.
Note
It is important that the same offset is used each time data is imported from a particular source.

Export start lists and results
When exporting start and result lists, you usually need to create a file for each set of classes. Just select which classes you want to export in connection with the export. Even if you specified an offset of the class id on import, the original class id will be used on export. It is not possible to export two different classes with the same id to the same file; you can either change the external id of the classes or export to different files.Note
You cannot use the Eventor connector for competitions with data from multiple sources, but you have to work with manual import and export of files to and from Eventor.
