Also supports "Dynamic
Scheduling". Racers are matched
by their performance in previous heats, maximizing the number
of racers getting at least one heat win and making closer competition
for racers at all levels.
You can even skip the scheduling step altogether, if you will be running a No Chart
(ad-hoc) race.
You can generate Perfect-N Type charts, made popular by Stan Pope
and Cory Young, Lane Rotation Charts or Dynamic charts, using the built-in chart
generators.
You can have the software collate your group schedules for a round
into a master schedule. Keeps racers more involved and
not waiting for their group's turn to race.
The Lane Rotation Chart generator gives you the choice of Normal,
Phase Shifted, Modified and Clustered Lane Rotation charts. Phase
Shifted Lane rotation charts are similar to Normal charts, but
heat assignments are shifted to improve the number of opponents
for each racer. Modified Lane Rotation charts try to run all
racers once through before rotating the lane assignments. Clustered
Lane Rotation charts run groups of racers through all lanes and
then does the next group of racers.
If you have your own race charts you can input them by manual entry
or import them from a text file.
You can check your race schedule's equity of opponents (who races
against who) and lane usage (how many times each racer races in each
lane).
The built-in schedulers will give you an estimate of how much time
it will take to run a particular schedule.
