Split Second. National / FIS Software Changes. Below is a list of changes that may help you decide if you need the latest version/revision of the software (or not). New revisions are made when only minor changes or additions are released. Thanks for the help goes to Jean- Yves Gr. This list is provided courtesy of Deb Lewis of Far West Masters.

The lists are currently only available for download via the location listed as: `Split Second (backup site)`. Changed the graphics Race Results so it won`t show points for a non- scored race. There`s still work to be done on these (at the end of reports). Special thanks for the translation help goes to: Hugues Forget (Laurentian Ski Division, QC). This is ideal for non- scored races where competitors get 2 runs regardless of their 1st run result.
Note that there are a large number of possibilities with race results and only the most common possibilities have been covered so far with this report. Covered possibilities are: all Alpine results except Alpine Combined, DH Training, and PGS/PSL.
The fonts used in the report are now embedded in the file so the PDF reader doesn`t have to have the matching font. There`s 2 versions of this: one with 2 columns and another with 3 columns allowing up to 1.
Also choices of 2 or 3 columns. By default this will happen automatically, with a name preset. If a report is submitted and needs to be updated or changed simply upload again. Reports with the same name will overwrite the previous report. For the Start Report with the top graphic it lists 3. FIS minimum for page 1) and 3. This previously could happen when the last competitor ended near the bottom of the page.
You have the ability to load your own graphics; please see the explanation on the report page. There are sample images included that may be loaded to see how the process works. Once the report has been generated it may be printed (of course) or saved as a . The ability to post graphics reports to Live- Timing will be available soon. Although there is currently just 1 report a lot has gone into this behind the scenes so that other graphics reports will follow ASAP.
The wiki page can be found via this link: http: //tinyurl. FISLive (you may need to copy and paste the link into your browser). If the box is checked the data is continually appended to a file in the same folder as your races. By default it is not checked when the software starts. This was done some time ago but needed to be reversed because at the time (in 2. FIS wasn`t ready for the change.

The format of the points list had changed slightly at some point. It can still be done through Split Second if needed. Also updated the password set internally when being registered by Split Second. The steps to dealing with this are important and has a page detailing it on the Split Second Documentation. You can get directly to the page via this link: http: //tinyurl. AC (you may need to copy and paste the link into your browser).
Basically if the race level is set to ECOM you may enter a status of NPS2, DNS2, DNF2 or DSQ2 as a 1st run result. This may be done via the Edit Competitor screen.
To save time if a large number need to be set it may be done via the Block Edit screen. ECOM is the same level as a Nor Am for category adders. A competitor set to NPS will not be included as part of the `best 5 at start` in the penalty calculation. The value of NPS may be set via the usual data entry methods including an abbreviation of P in the Edit Competitor screen. This is used to correct the problem of accidentally entering competitors and other data into the wrong gender in the file.
It swaps all competitors and header data. If taken by accident, simply take the option again. This Official position has been merged with the Race Administrator. The `Weather` tag has been expanded. Also added tags for Course Setters USSA numbers. These are the same sort options given before creating a 2nd run start list, but directly from the Sort menu. This only applies to new installs since the classes are only created at that time.
To add the class manually at any time via the main menu go Edit . This will create an additional class. Continue clicking until the new class is listed as ages 9.
When a 2nd run start order is generated for a USCSA race the option will be given. If not taken the traditional sorting method (flip) will be used. Team scored are added to the report for those in the cut for verification purposes. In single course timing the display will show a first line of bib, name and time for the current competitor. At the same time the remaining 3 lines of the display scroll through those competitors with results 3 lines at a time displaying rank, bib, name, and time. A screen comes up to enter the bib. Multiple bibs may be separated by commas.
Right click on the competitor and choose the option from the pop up menu. This only applies to a basic message and clearing a message.
There`s a check box at the bottom of the Message screen which is set to send as the default. The race must be registered for the FIS Live interface by Split Second.
The enabling check box must be unchecked and rechecked for a port change to take effect. This may be used to correct a run if partially or completely missed. There is an additional tab for this (next to the Live- Timing tab). Currently the use of this needs to be coordinated with Split Second Timing. Both for registration of your event with FIS for Live transmission and instructions on it`s use.
When opening a Vola race file for the first time it now detects and sets the race type if it`s a Masters race. It then pulls all the competitors into the Male list with the gender set accordingly. USERS: The software now works seamlessly with the Vola race files.
This allows you to: Set up the race with Vola - -> Time the Race with Split Second (and use Live- Timing) - -> Send results with Vola. No imports, no exports, just move back and forth between products and do what you need to do! Look for the option in the menu: File . This also solves an issue when right clicking on a file while using the Open dialog. CUSTOMERS: USSA is in the process of mandating the use of Vola software for your results.


This is not immediate. USSA has stated you may continue to use Split Second until you are trained and comfortable with the mandated software. Also, there is nothing in the rules stopping you from using Split Second for the most critical parts of your race - TIMING, and sending data to LIVE- TIMING. We are in the process of working out the easiest way to do this. A new revision will be available shortly addressing this. It gives a message when a change is detected and updates all port selection drop- downs. This makes trouble shooting serial ports much simpler.

This is only applied if the country is set to USA. This includes for fields: Race Name, Course Name, Weather etc. This is because the & symbol in the race file can`t be processed by ACA and causes an error. Currently it only sends data when a finish is assigned to a competitor, not a countdown for an approaching finisher. Anything that is, or begins with an f or F will be Female, anything else will be the default of Male (sorry, something had to be a default). This way dealing with particular file formats over and over is a much simpler process. Just load the settings previously saved for that format, verify from the preview and hit `OK`.

For anyone still using these options a saved format is automatically created for these settings. Just take the `Load Settings` option from the Import or Export screens and select.
The limit displayed on Live- Timing. Also, updated the order for assigning ladder positions based on changes in the rules.
Object FIX ZIP is a program for repairing Zip archive files. It can reconstruct a specified Zip file by creating a new Zip archive while recovering the contents of. The decision to flash your computer's BIOS should not be taken lightly. Here are 10 common mistakes you need to avoid.


Includes race codes for both genders. This has been changed back because FIS is not ready for the `AC` designation yet. Version 6. 4. 0 9/2. Updated F- Factors along with the normal start of season processes.
This is on the `Competitors` tab near the top of the `Report` menu. No graphics reports are available yet. This is simply the 1st step in that direction but this option has been made available so that `what is to come` may be seen. This is a screen with 5 tabs that may be used in any way: such as to- do lists, timing notes, reminders etc. The notes screen stays on top of others and may be used while other screens are active. It`s accessed from the main screen via the menu or hitting Ctrl- N, and from timing screens via a `Notes` button or Ctrl- N. See the 6th tab, FAQ, on the notes screen for more information.
This method should work for everyone where the old method only worked for those who could configure the software for their email. This is not used to send results in for scoring but to send the actual race file to someone else to be opened with this software (perhaps between an RA and Timing personnel). It may also be used to send a race file to Split Second to point out a potential bug or suggestion. This is an internal change maintaining the same functionality that should solve the problem that some customers had with the software `slowing down` as race timing progresses. For USSA level races they can optionally include 1st run DNFs and DQs if they`re scored events and optionally DNFs, DQs *and* DNSs for non- scored events. These competitors are listed in 1st run start number order.
This applies to regular and condensed 2nd run start lists. This is the same as the existing `Comp Import` but separates the First and Last names. If country is set to Canada this option is named `Comp Import for BC Alpine`. Added support for the new `driverless` software key.
Bibs must start with an F and be followed by a letter to be a forerunner, such as FA FB etc. A bib starting with F and followed by a number is not considered a forerunner (such as F1.
Live- Timing along with other competitors. These are available for runs 1 and 2.
Special thanks to BC Alpine for making this possible. This problem was unintentionally caused by the change to lengthen officials and pacesetter names.
This has been corrected.
