XC eliminator races setup

[anca-racehub]

Timing for xce events in Cycling Is a bit diferent: you have a list of participants and they start the race in 4 Athletes At a time. 2 of them are eliminated and 2 remain in the race. After All groups are over they are reorganized as 4 again.

thanks again for this Great software. If you need help in testing Please let me know ( We are using it for a while)

Sorry for the delay, the pesky day job was taking a lot of time.

There is, unfortunately, no easy way to automate this right now.

That said, it can be done but it is a bit of work on the setup. PikaTimer lets you create multiple races and then associate the same participant to as many of those races as you need.

Assuming you have 16 cyclist, one workaround would be this:

Initial Setup:

1. Create 4 races named "Prelim Group 1," "Prelim Group 2", etc. and then assign the cyclist to them either randomly or by rank.
2. Then create 2 races named "Semi-Final Round 1" and "Semi-Final Round 2." Don't assign any cyclist to these two races.
3. Create a race named "Finals." Like step 2, don't assign anyone to it.

As each prelim races is completed, assign the top two cyclists to the semi-final races as needed. (Under participants, double click the name. Then on the edit section on the left, add a check to the appropriate semi-final round on the 'Race' attribute and then hit 'Update'. )

After the semi-finals are done, you can do the same for the Finals.

I hope this helps.
