Loops With a Common Control

Updated: 2019-05-10

Suppose that you have a course with five loops that a competitor may to run in any order. This gives you 120 possible courses, which is somewhat tedious to setup manually.

MeOS solution in this case is a possibility to enter an example of the course, and supply the common control. When a competitor finishes, MeOS wil automatically create a course that matches the actual order of the loops for the runner. MeOS will also sort split times, so that competitors can compare times as if everyone ran the loops in the same order.

Create the course and enter an example of how the (total) course can look like, for example the loops in order ABCDE. You must include the common control between the loops. Check course with loops and specify the common control.

You can also use this functionality for butterfly style forking.

Exporting Splits

When exporting split times, you can decide if you want MeOS to sort the loops, so that everyone seems to have run in the same order. This works well if you want to compare times, less well if you want to match with GPS tracks.

Shortenings

It is possible to combine loops with shorter course variants. Activate with shortening and select the option fewer loops as shortened course.
