  • Record owner printing
  • In most cases where a record is printed, the name of the person who achieved the record is also printed.
  • Number to Rep
  • There was a loose bit of code which prevented more than 4 people from an event to rep for the next carnival. This was removed, hence if you specify 8 (for example) reps for an event, all 8 will be listed.

  • Full program Listing
  • The single column printout now exceeds one page for any event. When printing the full program listing, you can find a range of events in the events screen, Print them in two columns, then go back to the events screen, find another range of events, and from the report menu, print them in a single column. You need to print in a single column where the number of competitors for any event exceeds one page.
  • Improved Autolane
  • The AutoLane option from the Entries screen will now randomly allocate heats and lanes to competitors. If you have already grouped competitors by heat number, this option can bide by your heat rules.

  • Entering competitors into Events
  • From the Events screen you begin to type the competitor’s Surname [First 3 or so letters]. Then Click [or press or ] on the correct competitor.
  • When using FileMaker Pro 5 (or our Standalone version), only Male competitor names will appear for Male events, and Females for Female events. Additionally, if you enter a competitor in a race ‘for the other sex’, a hand will appear indicating so..... . (This will appear when using ALL versions of FileMaker Pro.) There may be a slight ‘refresh’ problem with this feature, particularly from the competitors screen.

  • When Age Filtering is turned on (Preferences --> Carnival) and the appropriate ages have been filled in for each event, only the appropriate competitors will be available for an event, and the appropriate events will be available for competitor entry.
  • New Report
  • There is now an option to print a list of the ‘Next Carnival Reps’ by listed by Event order.

New to Version V02.02

14/02/02 - 06:06 PM
  • Improved Reports
  • The full carnival listing is now much better, not breaking any events over a page. There is a choice of printing in 1 or 2 columns. This report can also be used after the carnival. Athlete lists can include their events, and Event lists have also changed.
  • Improved ‘Seed Entry Screen’
  • The Seed Entry screen now lets you easily update the number of competitors to compete in each race in the event. See maximum in Race below. This used to be only available on the ‘List view’. The advantage here is that if the event has 14 competitors and you have 8 lanes, it is best to set the maximum to 7 (instead of 8) for the event.
  • Improved Record Checking
  • The record check during the print from an event and from the reports menus (Print Results) has improved.
  • Improved Record Printing
  • The ‘Standard Form’ printout of the record details has been fixed from an error introduced in the previous version.

  • Two-Team Support (Windows Only)
  • Competitors can now be members of two teams, their main team and a sub-team, for example, at a school; their House and their Class, or, when representing; their region and their school. All reports and entry screens are automatically adjusted to suit whether a ‘Single’ team or a ‘two’ team carnival is being run.

  • Seeding Heats or other Timed Events
  • If competitors are to be pre-entered and their seeding times are available, you can seed their races so they will be placed in Heats & Lanes according to your Main Menu --> Final Lanes Preferences.
  • From the Events screen, choose ‘Enter Seeding Details’ from the Script menu.
  • Here you can enter Seeding Times for each competitor. When you have finished entering the competitors for the event, click the ‘Autolane’ button to place them into heats and lanes, based on (1) the number of competitors in a race (List View) and (2) the Final Lane Preferences (Main Menu --> Preferences).
  • The Print Button prints the Marshalling sheet, but includes the Seeding times.
