==Overview==

To create the first competitor, or to insert another at any time, use the ''Insert'' button on the competitor screen. You will get a screen like the following:

[[image:NatFIS_Edit.jpg‎|center]]

Once in this screen, additional competitors may be added using the ''Insert Next'' button. The up and down arrows can also be used to navigate through the list of competitors while remaining in the edit screen.

The above example shows many fields that you won’t need to manually fill out while doing competitor entries:

Bib Number / Start Number – These are usually set at or after the seed meeting, using options in the ''Other Options'' menu, or by editing at that time.

At first glance, this seems like a lot of information to enter; but most of it is pulled from the seed list.
If a seed list has been selected (see [[National FIS Software : Factors Lists|factors/lists]]), you can pull people from the list by Last Name, USSA Number, or FIS number (if a FIS race).

<div style="background-color:LightGray; -moz-border-radius:15px;">
::'''HINT:''' There are a number of ways to get to the edit competitor screen:<br>
::* Click on the ''Edit'' button.
::* Double click on a competitor while in the ''competitors'' tab.
::* Right click on a competitor and choose ''Edit'' from the menu.
::* Click on a competitor while timing and choose ''Edit''.
</div>

Some specifics:

====Class====

The class field will be filled in automatically, based on the year of birth of the competitor and the date of the race (set in the header). The class/age breakdowns are set in the ''Edit|Classes'' option.

====Snow Seed====

Sometimes a snow seed is created when there is fresh snow on the trail and some of the later racers are run at the start. The check box at the bottom of the page indicates this. It can be set for an individual person here or using a special option in the ''Other'' ''Options'' menu. People in the snow seed will be highlighted on the start list by an asterisk (*) next to their name. In the timing screen, it will assume these people are going first and expect to run them in reverse order.

====Points====

In the example above, the points for all events are shown. This is because the data was pulled from the points list. If entering manually, only the points for the current event are needed. The column showing FIS points is only displayed when it’s a FIS race.

====Amount Paid====

This an option used to keep track of finances for an event. A value may be entered or "C" for a comp (complimentary) competitor. A [[National FIS Software : Competitors Reports|report]] is available that details the finances of the event.

====Notes====

This can be used for anything as needed. It could be used for any actions associated with a competitor such as "needs to produce proof of membership", etc. There's a [[National FIS Software : Competitors Reports|report]] that lists the notes for all competitors who have notes.

====Results====

If entering times for a number of competitors; it’s much quicker to use the ''Enter Times'' option in the ''Options'' menu.

The same entry shortcuts apply here to simplify entry:
* Times may be entered without punctuation if entered to 1/100. For example: 12345 would be interpreted as 1:23.45
* Times can be entered without full precision if the other punctuation is included. For example: 56.7 would become 56.70; 1:5.9 would be 1:05.90
* Times may be entered in seconds. For example: 88.55 would be 1:25.55
* DNS can be entered simply with an "S", DNF with an "F", and DSQ with a "Q".
* If the result is a DSQ, a new field will appear for entry of the gate number or rule number.

====Audit====

To ensure integrity of the data, an audit is kept of any changes made to results and from where those changes came. This allows the source of a time to be verified and to track down any issues or confusion.

In the example below; the time originated from electronic timing, was then set to DNF manually, using the edit competitor screen, and then set (back to it's original value) via the [[National FIS Software : Competitors TOD Fix|TOD fix]] tool.

[[image:NatFIS_Audit.jpg‎|center]]

==Cross Country==

If cross country is selected, there will be slightly different fields on this screen:

[[image:NatFIS_EditXC.jpg‎|center]]

The key thing to understand with management of cross country events, especially when timing is involved, is how [[National FIS Software : Cross Country Times|cross country times]] work.

====Points====

For everything other than sprint events, the distance points are used. These may be pulled directly from the points lists as detailed under [[National FIS Software : Factors Lists|factors / lists]].

====Distance====

This field only needs to be used if the event has more than one distance. This would be needed where the timing of more than one distance can't be separated and has to be managed at the same time. Rankings will always be only within competitors of the same distance.

====Seed====

Sometimes the start order for a race will require seeds to be set. This can be used in conjunction with the option to [[National FIS Software : Competitors Sort|sort]] by seed.

====Gender (M/F)====

This field only needs to be used if the event has more than one gender and they can't be split because of timing issues. Rankings will always be only within competitors of the same gender.

====Times====

As noted above, please see [[National FIS Software : Cross Country Times|cross country times]] for a full explanation.

==Overview==
The selections made in the header tab influence much of the rest of the software. Changes in discipline, event, and race level will change features of the software throughout. This will include different data displayed on the competitors screen, different fields when editing competitors, different sorting options, timing screens, and reports.

For this reason, selecting the choices for your race should be the first thing done when a new race is created. Some fields will already be populated on this screen based on [[National FIS Software : Defaults|''Defaults'']] already set.

[[image:NatFIS_Header1.jpg‎|center]]

Even within the header, things will change depending on selections. Below is an example of the changes; when changing the discipline to snowboard and half-pipe (click to enlarge):

[[image:NatFIS_Header2.jpg‎|250px|center]]

==Notes on Specific Fields==

=====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 it’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. This is ideal for J4/J5 races.

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

=====# in Top Seed=====
This is used for the option in the assign menu to ''Automatically Assign Bib/Start Numbers.
''

=====# to Reverse Second Run=====
This is the number of people that are reversed for the second run. This number will automatically be increased (but not visible) in the event of a tie. If you are reversing the top 30, and there's a 3-way tie for 30th, don't change this. The rules will be applied correctly and the extra competitors included in the correct order.

=====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. The only time to use this, is when the calculated penalty needs to be overridden. If the TD determines the calculated penalty is not correct, enter the penalty he/she wants to use in this field and it will be used in the ''Applied Penalty'' section of the penalty report. This is possible when the calculated penalty is not within the limits set for the particular race level.

=====Start / Finish Elevation=====
Entered in meters. An automatic conversion takes place if feet are entered followed by "f". For example: Entering 1234f will automatically get converted to 376 meters. The vertical drop is calculated from start to finish.

=====Length=====
Only visible for DH and SG events. The course length in meters; same conversion applies as above for feet to meters.

=====Homologation Number=====
This is the number assigned by FIS for the trail.

=====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 [[Keys & 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.

==Cross Country==

If the discipline is selected as cross country, additional fields will be available:

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]!
