Round First

Syntax

Round First

Parameters

None.

Description

Instructs the software to round individual event times (usually up to the next whole second) before performing calculations like summing times for relays, triathlons, or series scores.

Remarks

This command affects calculations involving multiple event times, such as those done with Merge Events, Total Events, and Total These Events, as well as team scoring. It helps prevent small discrepancies that can arise from rounding only the final total time versus summing already-rounded segment times. It can be placed anywhere in the listing file.
