National FIS Software : Competitors Other EET

EET (Electronic Equivalent Time)

This is one of the tools in the Other Options menu.

If an electronic time is missed for one or more competitors this tool helps calculate an equivalent electronic time (EET) from backup or hand times. Basically, this is done by working out an average difference between other electronic times that have been recorded and the backup or hand times and applying that difference to the back up or hand time for the missing competitor(s).

The software can be used to calculate and store up to 10 EET calculations each of which can calculate up to 3 equivalent times. To calculate more an EET for more than 1 person at a time the missed times should have been running at the same time because the calculation is based on the 5 competitors before and after the missing ones.

The backup electronic times and hand times are stored with the competitor. In addition to entering them via this process they may be entered in the TOD Edit screen and may also be Imported.

The EET screen leads you through the process. It's important to fill out the top section first, and as more fields are filled in the remaining fields will be available to fill in. This is because the screen behaves differently depending on the choices made at the top.

Once the top section is filled in the bib number(s) for the missing competitor(s) should be filled in.

This is how the screen first appears:
