Managing Teams
On the page Teams, visible when you have defined a class with a team, you manage teams and team line-ups. For the selected team, you can directly enter team name, bib, the team class and status. You can also directly enter or change name and card number for all team members. To remove a runner from a leg, you can simply erase the name.In many cases you want to move existing competitors between legs and teams, for example when processing late team changes. Click the button <> (Tie a runner to the leg) corresponding to the leg you want to change. You will be presented with a list of competitors that you can tie to the leg. If the selected leg already has a competitor tied to it and the new competitor also has a leg in some team, the competitors will switch legs. By making a sequence of these switches you can quickly achieve the desired changes without having to enter names and card numbers again.
The command ... (Edit competitor) lets you view the competitor on the page Competitors
Bibs and Start Numbers
Often it is most practical to assign bibs when all team entries are processed. The standard setting is to assign the bib in alphabetical order. As the bib controls the forking (see below) this means that teams from the same club get different forkings. If you add more teams later, they will get the next free number in the class.If you have seeded teams, for example based on the result of the previous year, you can use the column Sorting in the table mode to enter a number (like a previous result) to control the order.
MeOS Insight
The team forking is controlled by the start number, which is usually the same as the bib. Therefore, if you assign new bibs, the forking will be modified.
If you want to change the team forking, it possible to change the start number manually (but keeping the bib). This is what the function Change Team Forking does. You will select from a list of forking keys (which corresponds to a line in the course definition for the class). When you save the new key, MeOS will modify the start number accordingly.
The team forking is controlled by the start number, which is usually the same as the bib. Therefore, if you assign new bibs, the forking will be modified.
