Once the discipline has been set in the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Race_Header|race header]] to snowboard, the options, and features throughout the software will be specific to the needs of snowboard events.

'''NOTE: As of May 2020, the Freeski button has not been fully built out and is not recommended for FIS events.'''

This manual is based primarily on the alpine discipline, but there are specific sections on many pages for snowboard and freeski.

= Timing and Scoring a Ski or Snowboardcross =
The procedure described below is for timing/scoring FIS level ski or snowboardcross events.

'''Note:''' FIS Skicross events can also utilize SplitSecond. Specific rules for each discipline can be found in their respective FIS ICRs. However, the Freeski radio button will NOT correctly do this. You '''MUST''' check the 'Swap Snowboard with Skifree' in reports. '''THIS WILL NOT GENERATE THE CORRECT FIS XML FOR FREESKI.''' Please contact [https://cjtiming.com CJ Sports Timing] for assistance with generating Freeski xml.

== Where to start: ==
The most important detail is what type of qualifying will be used and how many athletes will advance to finals. These are the currently approved FIS qualifying formats:

a) Qualification - One Run: -- all competitors take one(1) timed run.

b) Qualification - Two Runs -- all competitors take two (2) timed runs - the

best time one (1) run out of two runs timed runs determines the qualification ranking

c) Jam Session (Formula 1) Qualification -- unlimited runs all competitors have unlimited runs in a fixed time period - the best time one (1) run out of this timed runs determine the qualification ranking.

* Enter all the athletes as described in the [[National FIS Software : Competitors|Competitors]] section.
* Generate a [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Reports|Current Points List]] for the Team Captains to review by selecting 'Points List' on the Report button of the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]] screen.
* Once roll call has been approved during the Team Captains meeting, use the software to randomize the top 16, and any ties in points outside of the top 16.
** [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Sort#Only_Random_Sort_Once.21|ONLY RANDOMIZE ONCE!]]
** Generate a Start List

== Timing ==
Timing a snowboardcross qualification must meet the same requirements as timing an Alpine ski race. Please refer to the current [https://assets.fis-ski.com/image/upload/v1571937774/fis-prod/assets/AlpineTimingbooklet-V2_58-E.pdf Alpine Timing Booklet]and Alpine ICR for details. However, it is critical that the tabulation of the final brackets be practiced well in advance of your event to ensure that you understand how an SBX is run and how the software scores the advancing brackets.

Once all the athletes have completed their run based on the format chosen above, generate a Qualifying Result Report.[[ National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]]

In this example, we are using the best of two runs format with 16 athletes advancing to the finals.
[[Image:SBX_QResults.jpg]]

Under the Header page, make sure that the number of rounds, # of competitors in each heat, and # that advance from each round as well as whether or not there is a consolation (small) final has been selected BEFORE the finals round starts. The total number of athletes in the finals round should match what was agreed upon by the jury. This is visible below the consolation check box.

[[Image:SBX_Header.jpg|320x184px]]

== Advancing qualified athletes to brackets ==
From the first step above, verify the number of athletes that have advanced to finals. '''Verify that there is not a tie for the last qualifying position. '''If there is a tie, those athletes must compete in a runoff, so it is better to grab them before they leave the venue.

=== Add athletes to heats ===
From the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]]/Other Options Tab , select BX/SX Ranks, then select the highest round.

[[Image:BX_Heats_Step1.jpg|center|640x367px]]

Then manually add the athletes based on seeding rules. For a bracket of 16, the first heat will have athletes ranked 1, 8, 9, 16. (See current FIS ICR Section 2706 for snowboardcross heat seeding). In this example, Heat 1 will have Racer 55, 62, 53, and 61 (see results above). Click the add competitor button and type in each number for that heat, then move to the next heat. DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING IN THE RANK COLUMN.

[[Image:BX_Heats_Step2.jpg|center|640x367px]]

Once all of the heats have been entered, generate a Boarder X Heats report or use your favorite Excel bracket program to generate paper brackets for your jury to score the event as it progresses. At this point, the Excel brackets are a bit easier to use on hill. They can typically be printed to fit on one page with the subsequent brackets remaining empty so that officials can write in advancers.

[[Image:BXBrackets.jpg|center|thumb]]

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before adding athletes to the heats, make sure that your competitor screen is sorted by qualifying result so that subsequent heats will be sorted based on qualifying time to ensure proper lane choice.

=== Advancing riders to subsequent brackets ===
As riders cross the finish line, type the rank for that heat into the rank column. This will drive the brackets forward to subsequent heats.

[[Image:BX Heats Step3.jpg|640x367px]]

So looking forward to Race #5 (Round 2, Heat 1 in the software), you will see the advancers from Heat 1 and 2.

[[Image:BX_Heats_Step4.jpg|640x367px]]

Continue until the heats are complete.

Scoring a Halfpipe or Slopestyle

2020-05-05T22:00:31Z

CJT: /* Generating Reports */

= Scoring a Halfpipe or Slopestyle =
The most important thing to understand about any freestyle (halfpipe or slopestyle) event is how the event will be scored and which format will be used to determine who goes to finals. This information will come from the race organizer or the event jury. There is also in depth information in the FIS ICR handbook as well as the USSA Comptition Guide.

As of the 2011/2012 Revolution Tours and NorAm cups are scored using a qualifying system that consists of two or more heats where the best of two runs decides who will go to the finals. Both of these can be changed based on the size of the field and any force majeur jury decisions.

== Where to start? ==
* Enter all the athletes as described in the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors |Competitors]] section.
* Generate a [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Reports|Current Points List]] for the Team Captains to review by selecting 'Points List' on the Report button of the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]] screen.
* Once roll call has been approved during the Team Captains meeting, use the software to [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Sort#Only_Random_Sort_Once.21|Randomize]] the entire field.

** [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Sort#Only_Random_Sort_Once.21|Only randomize ONCE!]]
* Review the 'draw' for 'stacked' heats. Divide the field evenly into heats and assign start numbers and bib numbers from the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Other_Bib_Options|Other Options button]] on the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitor]] screen.
* Generate a [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Reports |Start List]]

'''NOTE:''' for FIS events, seeding for heats must follow Rule 3501.1.2. You will need to use a spreadsheet to perform this.

=== Choosing the correct round ===
From the [[Race_Header#Current_Round|Race Header Tab]] choose whether you are in a qualifying (semi-final) round or the final round. It is very important that you assign scores to the correct round for the final results to print correctly.

[[File:HP Header.jpg]]

== Entering Judges Scores ==
* Manually
**Scores can be manually entered from judges scoresheets by using the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Other_Judges_Scores|Enter HP/SS Judges Scores]] button on the Competitor Screen.
** Select the correct run number, then manually type in the scores. SplitSecond will accomodate a 10 point scale (1.2, 5.5, 9.0) or a 100 point scale (12, 55, 90). If the 10 point scale is used, the tabulator must enter the decimal point.
** <nowiki>Make sure that you confirm with your Head Judge which point scale you will be using. Also, confirm with the HJ whether the scores will be cumulative, an average, or throw out of high and low score. (Set this on the [Race_Header|Race Header page].</nowiki><br/> HINT: If a competitor is a DNS, and you have accidentally put in a score for that athlete, it is best to delete the score and make sure that the status is set to "DNS". If you leave the score and simply set the status to "DNS", this sometimes will generate results incorrectly. See [[Scoring_a_Halfpipe_or_Slopestyle#Correcting_Scores|Correcting Scores]] below.

'''NOTE:''' If you have more than 4 judges, this system will not work. You will need to edit the scores within the competitor screen. See [[Scoring_a_Halfpipe_or_Slopestyle#Correcting_Scores|Correcting Scores]] below.

National FIS Software : Factors Lists

2020-05-05T21:34:23Z

CJT: /* Snowboard */

==Overview==

Some of the fields on this tab aren't used for snowboard or cross country events.

When a new race is created, the F-factors and max seed points are set based on the current settings in the [[National FIS Software : Defaults|''defaults'' ''screen'']], which are set via software updates near the start of the season. Typically, they shouldn't need to be changed. If a race is opened from a previous season, it will have the F-Factors, etc. as they were set at that time.

[[Image:NatFIS Factors.jpg|center]]

==Points Lists==
Depending on the level of race (National level, or FIS), your race may use National or FIS points for athletes.

The software is set up to download and use USSA and FIS lists as generated by the USSA. If you are holding a FIS race in a country outside the U.S., you still download and use the FIS list from the USA, because it's in a format for the software.

Be sure to read the explanation on the screen carefully.

There are two steps to the process and it's often misunderstood.

* 1. If the list you need isn't available in the drop-down list, click on the button to ''Download Points Lists''. The option will download or load points lists, so they can be used by the software. In addition to having the option on this screen, the process of loading points lists is also available from the menu system via ''Activities|Load Points Lists''. The simplest method is to download the points list directly from the USSA web site while online:

[[Image:NatFIS Points1.jpg|center]]

:This will connect to the FTP site and display all available points lists. Simply choose any and all you wish to download, by clicking on the check box, and click "OK". They will then download and be unzipped ready for use:

[[Image:NatFIS Points2.jpg|center]]

* 2. The list is selected to be used.

[[Image:NatFIS Points3.jpg|center]]

If there are multiple races during the valid period for a list, then the list doesn't need to be downloaded each time. Just downloaded once, and selected for each race.

If you want to enter competitors for a race, but the correct list isn't available yet, you can do the entries using the most recent list. When the correct list is available, download it, select it for the race, and take the option from the competitors screen via the ''Other Options'' button to ''Reload Points from Points Lists''.

====Cross Country====

The process for downloading and using lists for cross country is exactly the same as above. When set to cross country, the software will automatically pull lists from another folder on the FTP site, specifically for cross country points.

====Snowboard and Freeski====

The process for downloading and using lists for snowboard is exactly the same as above. When set to snowboard, the software will automatically pull lists from another folder on the FTP site, specifically for snowboard points.

'''NOTE:''' Freeski points lists are not currently available for FIS through the USSA site. Points should be entered manually for all athletes. (05/2020)

CJT: /* Slopestyle */

= Overview =

Following are fields that are common to all snowboard disciplines:

===== Discipline =====
Snowboard should be selected for '''both''' Snowboard and Freeski events. Do '''NOT''' use the Freeski radio button. It is not completely built out and is not functioning for FIS events. (as of 5/2020)

===== Division =====
Used for reports. The word "Division" will be added where needed.

===== Timing =====
Select from the drop-down or key in the ''Make'' and ''Model''. This isn't telling the software which timer to communicate with, but simply getting the information as part of the record-keeping for FIS, etc. If a professional timing/scoring contractor has been hired for your event, the name of the company may be manually typed in. i.e., Swiss Timing instead of the actual equipment.

= Halfpipe =

National FIS Software : Introduction

2020-05-05T15:19:47Z

CJT: /* Sections */

The National / FIS Software should be used for any alpine, snowboard, cross country, or masters events that are sanctioned by a national governing body (USSA, ACA, NZSA etc.), or FIS.

The software has everything needed to manage races and events, from processing entries through producing final results. There's no simple path to follow through the software, since needs vary from event to event. You need to know what you need to get done, and the tool to do it, is most likely available in the software.

<div style="background-color:LightGray; -moz-border-radius:15px;">
::'''HINT:''' As with all software, the best way to learn is to dive in and practice. To get comfortable with what the software can do, it's suggested that you do one or more test races from start to finish. The software is very intuitive to use, but becoming comfortable with it does take some practice... If you get stuck with something in the software and can't find the solution here, please [http://www.splitsecond.com/contact.php contact us]!
</div>

For a PowerPoint showing how to use the software please [http://www.SplitSecond.com/Split_Second_101_Nat_FIS.ppt click here] (special thanks to Thelma Hoessler)

National FIS Software : SB Race Header

2020-04-27T17:06:04Z

CJT: /* Swap 'Snowboard' with 'Skifree' in reports */

= Overview =

Following are fields that are common to all snowboard disciplines:

'''Race Name'''

This is used at the top of all reports.

===== Race Level =====
If this is selected as a USSA/ACA, etc. race, you will have the ability to unselect the ''Scored'' option.

'''Scored'''

Only available if itâ€™s a USSA/ACA, etc. race (all FIS and higher races must be scored). If this is not checked, race points will not be calculated and points will not be displayed on results.

===== Race Date =====
Select from drop-down calendar.

===== Level =====
This is used to determine the value of the race based on the calculated points scale.

===== Overwrite Points range =====
Check this box if the software is not calculating the proper points scale. This will need to be checked and the appropriate scale typed in for all FIS events since the defaults are set using older USSA scoring requirements.

===== # in Top Seed =====
This is used for the option in the assign menu to ''Automatically Assign Bib/Start Numbers. ''This is used for GS/SL/PGS/PSL. Typically, the number is 16.

===== # to Reverse Second Run =====
This is the number of people that are reversed for the second run after. Typically, the number is 16.

===== Race Fee =====
This can be used if you want to use the software for simple race accounting. There is a field in the ''Competitor Edit'' screen for the amount paid (can be a comp) and a ''Financial Report ''option in the report menu.

===== USSA Code / FIS Code =====
The code assigned to this race by USSA and/or FIS. It's very important that this number is correct!

===== USSA / FIS Penalty to Apply =====
This is not normally needed.

===== TTR Event =====
Allows additional fields to show in the Competitor field for Ticket To Ride events. These fields are not required for scoring to TTR events, but are 'nice to have'.

===== Swap 'Snowboard' with 'Skifree' in reports =====
Changes the report header for Halfpipe, Slopestyle, and Skicross events for Freeski events.
----

'''WARNING!''' Selecting this option WILL NOT generate the correct xml for Freeski events. The xml will need to be edited. Please contact CJ Sports Timing for more information.
[http://cjtiming.com]

===== Governing Body / Gov Body Abbrev / Country =====
To set to USA or Canada use the buttons to the right. For other nationalities, these may only be modified with a [http://splitsecond.com/wiki/index.php/Keys_%26_Licenses Key & License]. Changing the abbreviation will change the field names throughout the software.

===== Division =====
Used for reports. The word "Division" will be added where needed.

===== Timing =====
Select from the drop down or key in the ''Make'' and ''Model''. This isn't telling the software which timer to communicate with, but simply getting the information as part of the record keeping for FIS, etc. If a professional timing/scoring contractor has been hired for your event, the name of the company may be manually typed in. i.e., Swiss Timing instead of the actual equipment.

= Halfpipe =



===== Pipe Name =====
The name listed on the Halfpipe Homologation (if available) or the commonly referred to name of the pipe. i.e., Superduper Superpipe

===== Homologation Number =====
This is the number assigned by FIS for the Halfpipe. This number is not mandatory for Halfpipes as of 2011/2012 season.

===== Number of Rounds =====
Determines whether there will be multiple qualifying rounds i.e., 2 â€“ Semi-F/Finals only is used for a qualifying round and a finals round. Heats are not taken into consideration under this header.

===== Current Round =====
Shows which round you are currently scoring. Semi-Finals is your qualifying round, Finals is for athletes who only qualify for the Final round.

===== Number of Judges =====
Number of scoring judges. Normally, this will not include the Head Judge.

===== Rankings by Heat =====
Select if there will be more than one heat in a qualifying round.

===== Best Score =====
The number of runs that determines the athlete's score. Typically, this is the best 1 of 2 unless a jam format is being used.

===== Inclination =====
The steepness or pitch of the halfpipe.

===== Length of Pipe =====
This must be listed in meters. The software will convert feet to meters by listing an 'f' after the length if it is measured in feet.

===== Width =====
The width of the halfpipe from wall to wall.

===== Additional Options =====
Average judges scores: Select if the final score will be determined using this technique.

Drop high and low: Select this option if the final score will be determined using this technique.

National FIS Software : Snowboard

2020-04-27T14:38:34Z

CJT: /* Snowboard */

== Snowboard & Freeski==
Once the discipline has been set in the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Race_Header|race header]] to snowboard, the options and features throughout the software will be specific to the needs of snowboard events.

This manual is based primarily on the alpine discipline, but there are specific sections on many pages for snowboard.

The following pages have information specific to snowboard needs:
*[[Race Header]]
*[[National_FIS_Software_:_Factors_Lists#Snowboard|Factors / List]]
*[[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Insert_Edit|Insert & Edit]]
*[[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Block_Edit|Block Edit]]
*[[Alpine Events (Slalom/Giant Slalom/Super-G)]]
*[[Scoring a Halfpipe or Slopestyle]]
*[[Timing and Scoring a Snowboardcross]]
*[[Timing and Scoring Parallel Events (PGS/PSL)]]


Any page without a snowboard specific section usually means it is equally applicable to snowboard as any other discipline.

Timing and Scoring a Ski or Snowboardcross

2013-11-11T23:17:36Z

CJT: /* Advancing qualified athletes to brackets */

= Timing and Scoring a Snowboardcross =
The procedure described below is for timing/scoring FIS level snowboardcross events. Note: FIS Skicross events can also utilize SplitSecond. Specific rules for each discipline can be found in their respective FIS ICRs.

== Where to start: ==
The most important detail is what type of qualifying will be used and how many athletes will advance to finals. These are the currently approved FIS qualifying formats:

a) Qualification - One Run: -- all competitors take one(1) timed run.

b) Qualification - Two Runs -- all competitors take two (2) timed runs - the

best time one (1) run out of two runs timed runs determines the qualification ranking

c) Jam Session (Formula 1) Qualification -- unlimited runs all competitors have unlimited runs in a fixed time period - the best time one (1) run out of this timed runs determine the qualification ranking.

* Enter all the athletes as described in the [[National FIS Software : Competitors|Competitors]] section.
* Generate a [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Reports|Current Points List]] for the Team Captains to review by selecting 'Points List' on the Report button of the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]] screen.
* Once roll call has been approved during the Team Captains meeting, use the software to randomize the top 16, and any ties in points outside of the top 16.
** [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Sort#Only_Random_Sort_Once.21|ONLY RANDOMIZE ONCE!]]
** Generate a Start List

== Timing ==
Timing a snowboardcross qualification must meet the same requirements as timing an Alpine ski race. Please refer to the current [http://data.fis-ski.com/media/alpine-skiing/timing/timing-booklet-v-250.pdf Alpine Timing Booklet]and Alpine ICR for details. However, it is critical that the tabulation of the final brackets be practiced well in advance of your event to ensure that you understand how an SBX is run and how the software scores the advancing brackets.

Once all the athletes have completed their run based on the format chosen above, generate a Qualifying Result Report.[[ National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]]

In this example, we are using the best of two runs format with 16 athletes advancing to the finals.
[[Image:SBX_QResults.jpg]]

Under the Header page, make sure that the number of rounds, # of competitors in each heat, and # that advance from each round as well as whether or not there is a consolation (small) final has been selected BEFORE the finals round starts. The total number of athletes in the finals round should match what was agreed upon by the jury. This is visible below the consolation check box.

[[Image:SBX_Header.jpg|320x184px]]

== Advancing qualified athletes to brackets ==
From the first step above, verify the number of athletes that have advanced to finals. '''Verify that there is not a tie for the last qualifying position. '''If there is a tie, those athletes must compete in a runoff, so it is better to grab them before they leave the venue.

=== Add athletes to heats ===
From the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]]/Other Options Tab , select BX/SX Ranks, then select the highest round.

[[Image:BX_Heats_Step1.jpg|center|640x367px]]

Then manually add the athletes based on seeding rules. For a bracket of 16, the first heat will have athletes ranked 1, 8, 9, 16. (See current FIS ICR Section 2706 for snowboardcross heat seeding). In this example, Heat 1 will have Racer 55, 62, 53, and 61 (see results above). Click the add competitor button and type in each number for that heat, then move to the next heat. DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING IN THE RANK COLUMN.

[[Image:BX_Heats_Step2.jpg|center|640x367px]]

Once all of the heats have been entered, generate a Boarder X Heats report or use your favorite Excel bracket program to generate paper brackets for your jury to score the event as it progresses. At this point, the Excel brackets are a bit easier to use on hill. They can typically be printed to fit on one page with the subsequent brackets remaining empty so that officials can write in advancers.

[[Image:BXBrackets.jpg|center|thumb]]

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before adding athletes to the heats, make sure that your competitor screen is sorted by qualifying result so that subsequent heats will be sorted based on qualifying time to ensure proper lane choice.

=== Advancing riders to subsequent brackets ===
As riders cross the finish line, type the rank for that heat into the rank column. This will drive the brackets forward to subsequent heats.

[[Image:BX Heats Step3.jpg|640x367px]]

So looking forward to Race #5 (Round 2, Heat 1 in the software), you will see the advancers from Heat 1 and 2.

[[Image:BX_Heats_Step4.jpg|640x367px]]

Continue until the heats are complete.

== Timing ==
Timing a snowboardcross qualification must meet the same requirements as timing an Alpine ski race. Please refer to the current [http://www.fis-ski.com/data/document/timingbooklet_v_2-46.pdf| Alpine Timing booklet] and Alpine ICR for details. However, it is critical that the tabulation of the final brackets be practiced well in advance of your event to ensure that you understand how an SBX is run and how the software scores the advancing brackets.

Once all the athletes have completed their run based on the format chosen above, generate a Qualifying Result Report.[[ National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]]

In this example, we are using the best of two runs format with 16 athletes advancing to the finals.
[[Image:SBX_QResults.jpg]]

Under the Header page, make sure that the number of rounds, # of competitors in each heat, and # that advance from each round as well as whether or not there is a consolation (small) final has been selected BEFORE the finals round starts. The total number of athletes in the finals round should match what was agreed upon by the jury. This is visible below the consolation check box.

[[Image:SBX_Header.jpg|320x184px]]

== Advancing qualified athletes to brackets ==
From the first step above, verify the number of athletes that have advanced to finals. '''Verify that there is not a tie for the last qualifying position. '''If there is a tie, those athletes must compete in a runoff, so it it better to grab them before they leave the venue.

=== Add athletes to heats ===
From the Competitors/Other Options Tab [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]], select BX/SX Ranks, then select the highest round.

[[Image:BX_Heats_Step1.jpg|center|640x367px]]

Then manually add the athletes based on seeding rules. For a bracket of 16, the first heat will have athletes ranked 1, 8, 9, 16. (See current FIS ICR Section 2706 for snowboardcross heat seeding). In this example, Heat 1 will have Racer 55, 62, 53, and 61 (see results above). Click the add competitor button and type in each number for that heat, then move to the next heat. DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING IN THE RANK COLUMN.

[[Image:BX_Heats_Step2.jpg|center|640x367px]]

Once all of the heats have been entered, generate a Boarder X Heats report or use your favorite Excel bracket program to generate paper brackets for your jury to score the event as it progresses. At this point, the Excel brackets are a bit easier to use on hill. They can typically be printed to fit on one page with the subsequent brackets remaining empty so that officials can write in advancers.

[[Image:BXBrackets.jpg|center|thumb]]

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before adding athletes to the heats, make sure that your competitor screen is sorted by qualifying result so that subsequent heats will be sorted based on qualifying time to ensure proper lane choice.

=== Advancing riders to subsequent brackets ===
As riders cross the finish line, type the rank for that heat into the rank column. This will drive the brackets forward to subsequent heats.

[[Image:BX Heats Step3.jpg|640x367px]]

So looking forward to Race #5 (Round 2, Heat 1 in the software), you will see the advancers from Heat 1 and 2.

Scoring a Halfpipe or Slopestyle

2012-08-27T19:35:36Z

CJT: /* Entering Judges Scores */

= Scoring a Halfpipe or Slopestyle =
The most important thing to understand about any freestyle (halfpipe or slopestyle) event is how the event will be scored and which format will be used to determine who goes to finals. This information will come from the race organizer or the event jury. There is also in depth information in the FIS ICR handbook as well as the USSA Comptition Guide.

As of the 2011/2012 Revolution Tours and NorAm cups are scored using a qualifying system that consists of two or more heats where the best of two runs decides who will go to the finals. Both of these can be changed based on the size of the field and any force majeur jury decisions.

At the Revolution Tour, the men's finals are determined by the Top 4 athletes in each heat, then the next Top 4 athletes over all. For women, the top 6 athletes from the qualifying round advance to finals.

== Where to start? ==
* Enter all the athletes as described in the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors |Competitors]] section.
* Generate a [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Reports|Current Points List]] for the Team Captains to review by selecting 'Points List' on the Report button of the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]] screen.
* Once roll call has been approved during the Team Captains meeting, use the software to [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Sort#Only_Random_Sort_Once.21|Randomize]] the entire field
** [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Sort#Only_Random_Sort_Once.21|Only randomize ONCE!]]
* Review the 'draw' for 'stacked' heats. Divide the field evenly into heats and assign start numbers and bib numbers from the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Other_Bib_Options|Other Options button]] on the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitor]] screen.
* Generate a [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Reports |Start List]]

=== Choosing the correct round ===
From the [[Race_Header#Current_Round|Race Header Tab]] choose whether you are in a qualifying (semi-final) round or the final round. It is very important that you assign scores to the correct round for the final results to print correctly.

[[File:HP Header.jpg]]

== Entering Judges Scores ==
* Manually
**Scores can be manually entered from judges scoresheets by using the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Other_Judges_Scores|Enter HP/SS Judges Scores]] button on the Competitor Screen.
** Select the correct run number, then manually type in the scores. SplitSecond will accomodate a 10 point scale (1.2, 5.5, 9.0) or a 100 point scale (12, 55, 90). If the 10 point scale is used, the tabulator must enter the decimal point.
** <nowiki>Make sure that you confirm with your Head Judge which point scale you will be using. Also, confirm with the HJ whether the scores will be cumulative, an average, or throw out of high and low score. (Set this on the [Race_Header|Race Header page].</nowiki><br/> HINT: If a competitor is a DNS, and you have accidentally put in a score for that athlete, it is best to delete the score and make sure that the status is set to "DNS". If you leave the score and simply set the status to "DNS", this sometimes will generate results incorrectly. See [[Scoring_a_Halfpipe_or_Slopestyle#Correcting_Scores|Correcting Scores]] below.

[[File:Other Judge Scores.jpg]]

* With Keypads
**Information on setting up the Summit Systems SRT1000 can be found [[National_FIS_Software_:_Timing_Setup#Snowboard_Halfpipe_and_Slopestyle_Scoring|here]].
**Once the hardware has been correctly configured, the tabulator can review scores by clicking on the "Timing" Tab, then "HP/SS with Keypads" and selecting the appropriate run. If an electronic scoreboard is not being utilized, the tabulator can read athlete scores from this screen to the posting board location(s).

== Correcting Scores ==
*From the Competitor Screen
**Double click on the competitor that you need to edit
**Choose the correct round (Semi or Final)
**Select the round/judge score that needs to be edited.
[[File:DblClick Comp.jpg]]
*From the Other Options button
**Type in the bib of the athlete whose score needs to be corrected


**Edit the score of the corresponding judge
**Close the screen or move on to the next athlete.
*When using Summit Systems SRT1000
**Click the "Add Competitor" button

**Click in the field under the corresponding judge and enter the score.
**Click in the "Status" box and answer "YES" to the dialog box that appears. (Graphic coming soon!)

== Generating Reports ==
Results: There are two types of Result Reports that can be generated. The Qualifying Results and the Final Results.

* Qualifying Results
** After the heat is completed, results for that heat should be generated to allow athletes to prepare for the Finals.
***
**** Highlight the athletes from the current heat or hide the athletes that are not participating in the heat that you are generating the report for.
**** Select the Report Button from the Competitor screen.
**** Select Current Round → Results to print the Qualifying Results

Note: You can also use this procedure for generating results for each run if desired.

* Final Results
** Make sure that Finals is selected in Header Tab
** Make sure that the appropriate point scale is selected in the Header Tab
** Select the Report Button from the Competitor screen.
** Select Race Results and print
*** This will generate results for all athletes in the competiton. Athletes that qualified for finals will be listed first and all other athletes will be listed in a separate section titled „Did not qualify for finals.“
**** NOTE: Athletes who didn't qualify for finals may have higher scores than athletes who did qualify for finals. This is expected as athletes who did qualify for finals are deemed to be ranked higher than those who didn't.
** Select Points Report and print.

In this example, Heat 1 will have Racer 55, 62, 53, and 61 (see results above). Click the add competitor button and type in each number for that heat, then move to the next heat. DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING IN THE RANK COLUMN.

[[Image:BX_Heats_Step2.jpg|center|640x367px]]

Once all of the heats have been entered, generate a Boarder X Heats report or use your favorite Excel bracket program to generate paper brackets for your jury to score the event as it progresses. At this point, the Excel brackets are a bit easier to use on hill. They can typically be printed to fit on one page with the subsequent brackets remaining empty so that officials can write in advancers.

Once all the athletes have completed their run based on the format chosen above, generate a Qualifying Result Report.[[ National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]]

In this example, we are using the best of two runs format with 16 athletes advancing to the finals.
[[Image:SBX_QResults.jpg]]

Under the Header page, make sure that the number of rounds, # of competitors in each heat, and # that advance from each round as well as whether or not there is a consolation (small) final. The total number of athletes in the finals round should match what was agreed upon by the jury. This is visible below the consolation check box.

[[Image:SBX_Header.jpg|320x184px]]

== Advancing qualified athletes to brackets ==
From the first step above, verify the number of athletes that have advanced to finals. '''Verify that there is not a tie for the last qualifying position. '''If there is a tie, those athletes must compete in a runoff, so it it better to grab them before they leave the venue.

=== Add athletes to heats ===
From the Competitors/Other Options Tab [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]], select BX/SX Ranks, then select the highest round.

[[Image:BX_Heats_Step1.jpg|Center|640x367px]]

Then manually add the athletes based on seeding rules. For a bracket of 16, the first heat will have athletes ranked 1, 8, 9, 16. (See current FIS ICR Section 2706 for snowboardcross heat seeding). In this example, Heat 1 will have Racer 55, 62, 53, and 61 (see results above). Click the add competitor button and type in each number for that heat, then move to the next heat. DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING IN THE RANK COLUMN.

[[Image:BX_Heats_Step2.jpg|Center|640x367px]]

Once all of the heats have been entered, generate a Boarder X Heats report or use your favorite Excel bracket program to generate paper brackets for your jury to score the event as it progresses. At this point, the Excel brackets are a bit easier to use on hill. They can typically be printed to fit on one page with the subsequent brackets remaining empty so that officials can write in advancers.

[[Image:BXBrackets.jpg|left|thumb]]

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before adding athletes to the heats, make sure that your competitor screen is sorted by qualifying result so that subsequent heats will be sorted based on qualifying time to ensure proper lane choice.

=== Advancing riders to subsequent brackets ===
As riders cross the finish line, type the rank for that heat into the rank column. This will drive the brackets forward to subsequent heats.

[[Image:BX Heats Step3.jpg|640x367px]]

So looking forward to Race #5 (Round 2, Heat 1 in the software), you will see the advancers from Heat 1 and 2.

= Timing and Scoring a Snowboardcross =
The procedure described below is for timing/scoring FIS level snowboardcross events. Note: FIS Skicross events can also utilize SplitSecond. Specific rules for each discipline can be found in their respective FIS ICRs.

== Where to start: ==
The most important detail is what type of qualifying will be used and how many athletes will advance to finals. These are the currently approved FIS qualifying formats:

a) Qualification - One Run: -- all competitors take one(1) timed run.

b) Qualification - Two Runs -- all competitors take two (2) timed runs - the

best time one (1) run out of two runs timed runs determines the qualification ranking

c) Jam Session (Formula 1) Qualification -- unlimited runs all competitors have unlimited runs in a fixed time period - the best time one (1) run out of this timed runs determine the qualification ranking.

* Enter all the athletes as described in the [[National FIS Software : Competitors|Competitors]] section.
* Generate a [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Reports|Current Points List]] for the Team Captains to review by selecting 'Points List' on the Report button of the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]] screen.

=== Advancing riders to subsequent brackets ===
As riders cross the finish line, type the rank for that heat into the rank column. This will drive the brackets forward to subsequent heats.

Timing and Scoring a Ski or Snowboardcross

2012-08-27T19:18:48Z

CJT: /* Advancing riders to subsequent brackets */

= Timing and Scoring a Snowboardcross =
The procedure described below is for timing/scoring FIS level snowboardcross events. Note: FIS skicorss events can also utilize SplitSecond. Specific rules for each discipline can be found in their respective FIS ICRs.

== Where to start: ==
The most important detail is what type of qualifying will be used and how many athletes will advance to finals. These are the currently approved FIS qualifying formats:

a) Qualification - One Run: -- all competitors take one(1) timed run.

b) Qualification - Two Runs -- all competitors take two (2) timed runs - the

best time one (1) run out of two runs timed runs determines the qualification ranking

c) Jam Session (Formula 1) Qualification -- unlimited runs all competitors have unlimited runs in a fixed time period - the best time one (1) run out of this timed runs determine the qualification ranking.

* Enter all the athletes as described in the [[National FIS Software : Competitors|Competitors]] section.
* Generate a [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Reports|Current Points List]] for the Team Captains to review by selecting 'Points List' on the Report button of the [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]] screen.
* Once roll call has been approved during the Team Captains meeting, use the software to randomize the entire field
** [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors_Sort#Only_Random_Sort_Once.21]]
** Only randomize ONCE!
* Generate a [[Start List]]

== Timing ==
Timing qualification must meet the same requirements as timing an Alpine ski race. Please refer to the current Alpine Timing booklet and Alpine ICR for details. However, it is critical that the tabulation of the final brackets be practiced well in advance of your event to ensure that you understand how an SBX is run and how the software scores the advancing brackets.

Once all the athletes have completed their run based on the format chosen above, generate a Qualifying Result Report.[[ National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]]

In this example, we are using the best of two runs format with 16 athletes advancing to the finals.
[[Image:SBX_QResults.jpg]]

Under the Header page, make sure that the number of rounds, # of competitors in each heat, and # that advance from each round as well as whether or not there is a consolation (small) final. The total number of athletes in the finals round should match what was agreed upon by the jury. This is visible below the consolation check box.

[[Image:SBX_Header.jpg|center|640x3678px]]

== Advancing qualified athletes to brackets ==
From the first step above, verify the number of athletes that have advanced to finals. '''Verify that there is not a tie for the last qualifying position. '''If there is a tie, those athletes must compete in a runoff, so it it better to grab them before they leave the venue.

=== Add athletes to heats ===
From the Competitors/Other Options Tab [[National_FIS_Software_:_Competitors|Competitors]], select BX/SX Ranks, then select the highest round.

[[Image:BX_Heats_Step1.jpg|Center|640x367px]]

Then manually add the athletes based on seeding rules. For a bracket of 16, the first heat will have athletes ranked 1, 8, 9, 16. (See current FIS ICR Section 2706 for snowboardcross heat seeding). In this example, Heat 1 will have Racer 55, 62, 53, and 61 (see results above). Click the add competitor button and type in each number for that heat, then move to the next heat. DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING IN THE RANK COLUMN.

[[Image:BX_Heats_Step2.jpg|Center|640x367px]]

Once all of the heats have been entered, generate a Boarder X Heats report or use your favorite Excel bracket program to generate paper brackets for your jury to score the event as it progresses. At this point, the Excel brackets are a bit easier to use on hill. They can typically be printed to fit on one page with the subsequent brackets remaining empty so that officials can write in advancers.
