Small Events and Trainings

Updated: 2014-03-04

The definition of a small event is that only one computer is needed. As a rule of thumb, an event with about 100 competitors works well with one computer. But more important than total number of competitors is number of finishing competitor per minute and how many entry changes and direct entries you need to handle during the event.

There are two fundamentally different ways of using MeOS for small event. The traditional way is to register competitors, classes and courses in advance. This gives the possibility to draw start lists, check which runners remain in forest, etc.

The alternative is to let MeOS build the competition automatically as the comeptitors finish; punching cards are tied to runner&[Unknown function 039;s]via the competitor database. The courses are constructed from the punches present in the cards read out, and class is decided also from the contents of the card. This mode of operation is particullary suitable for trainings.
