| As an
event organiser there is a great deal to do. To start
with you have to prepare and submit the prospectus, notify the police
and obtain approval, appoint the timekeepers and other officials,
find and book an event HQ. That's just the start.
A little later your real administrative work really starts. You
must
- Receive, validate and record all entry forms and entry fees
- Have the field officially handicapped
- Lay out the field in start time order
- Calculate/check age categories or veterans standard times
- Produce start sheets for each competitor and official
- Produce envelopes or labels and mail the start sheets
- Produce and distribute checking sheets for all marshals and
officials
- Produce an attractive, easily seen result board.
Our software package,
based on a Microsoft
Access Database
takes the hard work out of each of these chores. Checking
sheets can be produced in a number of sequences, and start sheets
formatted. You can chose if you wish to automatically print envelopes
or labels.
On the day of the event, apart from making sure everything and
everybody are in position, dealing with problems, making sure
refreshments are available, distributing and returning numbers,
you have to:
- Arrange for times to be recorded, checked, and returned for
entry on the result board
- Calculate handicaps, age and other category results, and perhaps
vets standard times (+ or -) etc. for display
- Decide on the prize-winners and record the result
Our software package lets
you enter times as they are returned, and automatically calculates
the results. You can chose to write the results on the result board,
or if you have a computer and projector, display them on a screen.
After the event you still have a lot to do including:
- Producing result sheets
- Notifying officials of the results.
- Producing envelopes or labels to distribute result sheets and
prizes
- Producing a set of accounts for the income and expenditure
Once the competitors times
have been entered into the computer our software package takes care
of the rest of these chores.
Why not take
the chores out of the job and enjoy your event. You can re-use the
system for all your races, including club events.
Give it a try,
it only costs £35.
