Merge Events

Syntax​

Merge Events
Event               event_to_merge_1
Event               event_to_merge_2
...
Event               destination_event

Parameters​

  • event_to_merge_...: Name of an event whose results will be combined into the destination event.
  • destination_event: The name of the event that will receive the merged results. Its existing contents will be destroyed.
  • source_event: The event from which results are taken when using Minus or Plus.
  • event_to_subtract / time_constant: Event name or fixed time to subtract.
  • event_to_add / time_constant: Event name or fixed time to add.

Description​

Combines results from multiple source events into a single destination event, or moves results from one event to another, potentially performing a subtraction or addition operation. Automatically sorts the destination event by time after merging.

Remarks​

The destination event is cleared before merging. Select times should be checked before merging. Duplicate bib numbers across source events will trigger warnings. Source events should have matching numbers of times/places. Errors can be logged to MergeProb.txt instead of pop-ups via Tools/Preferences. Can be used with Minus or Plus to calculate net times or add penalties during the merge. Not compatible with Combine Events. No duplicate checking is performed if the destination event is a lap race.

Examples​

To merge three finish lines (MENA, MENB, WOMEN) into one (TIME):

Merge Events
Event               MENA
Event               MENB
Event               WOMEN
Event               TIME

To calculate net swim time (SWIMNET) by subtracting SCRATCH from SWIM:

Merge Events
Event               SWIM
Minus               SCRATCH
Event               SWIMNET

To subtract a fixed 30 minutes from SWIM times and put results in SWIM2:

Merge Events
Event               SWIM
Minus               0:30:00
Event               SWIM2
