- Latest stable version.
- After many requests, Live Results can now handle different size fonts.
- Have removed Active.com support for uploading results because this is no longer supported by Active.com.
- Jon Krupa asked for controls for using RunScore with two monitors. The problem was if you last
used RunScore on one monitor and then removed that monitor, you could no longer access RunScore because it thought it was being displayed on the ghost monitor. Fixed.
- Made a change to Ipico support. Their new controller adds a few comment lines to the exported file. These lines
start with the ‘~’ character. RunScore now removes lines that start with ‘~’. Problem identified by Kip Sloan
- Had a request by Carl Magnuson to allow the selection of “Bib ID” or “Chip ID” to be made in
Entries.ini in addition to being able to make it from the Tools/Chip options menu. This has been implemented as “Bib or Chip”. Example:
Bib or Chip Bib or Bib or Chip Chip
- Implement the new NCAA cross-country tie-breaker rule: “Ties in team scoring shall be broken by comparing the
place finish of the five scoring members of the tied teams. The team with the majority of winning places shall be awarded the higher place.” Thanks to Pat Leone for telling us about the new rule. To use the NCAA rule, add the line: “Team Tie Breaker (tab) NCAA”.
- At request of Jenna Ginsberg, have added “Multiply” command to work just like the SUM command
but instead of adding together the contents of several fields, it multiplies them. Can also multiply by a constant number with the “Multiply By” command.
- At request of Carl Magnuson, have extended the concept of multiple chip fields for systems that
use bib tags. That is, if you set the number of chip fields (in Preferences or in entries.ini), to, say, 2, then if RunScore cannot find the bib tag in the bib field, it checks the next search field. But there are two cases. If in Tools/Chip options you set for Bib Tag, it starts looking in the bib field. If, on the other hand, you set for ChipTag, then the search begins in the first search field after the bib field.
- At request of Denika Voget, add new Time Format: 0H:MM:SS.01 that produces times with two hour
digits. For example: 00:01:23.45, 01:23:45.67, 12:34:56.78.
- Made a change so that the “Please Wait” dialog box does not appear anymore when uploading just one entry whether
by a listing file or by the “Sync with server” technique.
- Jon Krupa asked that when doing Event to Database with a time into a right-justified field, if
the field is shorter than the data, truncate to the left rather than to the right as is normally done. Done.
- Brian Sparacino told us about the NK Interval Timing Watch and loaned us one so we could
support it. It’s very inexpensive but it does not transfer times live. Instead, after the race is done the times from multiple events (or segments as they call them) can be transferred to RunScore. The transfer takes about 30 seconds whether there is one time or a few thousand. Not only did Brian Sparrcino tell us about the NK Interval watch, he provided a computer program which allowed me to support it.
- Add support for registration site ZapEvent. There are now so many online
systems supported that they have all been moved from the Tools menu item to their own menu item “Online.”
- Not a change but information: Within two days, two different people could not print to their label printer. We
forgot to tell you in the Help section on label printers that you MUST turn off “Printer Dialog Box” in Tools/Preferences.
- Matthew Studholme suggested changing the pop-up you get when a new manually-entered time is
less than the previous one. Previously, the only response was “OK” and the time was retained. He suggested a different pop-up with “OK” and “Cancel”. If “Cancel” is clicked, then the new time is discarded. Done. This makes handling typing errors easier.
- Carl Magnuson pointed out that when you try to clear a protected field for all entries, the
field to be cleared, marked in red, becomes the bib number field. If you’re not careful, you could clear out all your bib numbers. This has been fixed. You can now clear a protected field.
- Jenna Ginsberg requested that the laps event be sorted by time before executing the
Laps-to-Rounds command. This is necessary since sometimes times from chips do not come into the event in order. Done.
