Sub / Subtract

Syntax​

Event               event_name
Sub                 time
Event               event_name
Subtract            time

Parameters​

  • time: A fixed time value to subtract from all times in the preceding event. Format: H:MM:SS, M:SS, or HH:MM:SS.

Description​

Subtracts a specified constant time from every participant's time in the preceding event. Sub and Subtract are aliases and function identically.

Remarks​

This command applies a uniform time adjustment to all participants in an event. It is typically used to correct a known timing offset -- for example, when the clock was started late or early, or when a fixed delay needs to be removed from all results.

Unlike Minus, which subtracts one event from another or a per-record constant, Sub applies the same fixed subtraction to every record.

Examples​

To subtract 30 minutes from all times (e.g., correcting a delayed start):

Event               TIME
Sub                 0:30:00
Sort

To subtract 5 seconds from all times:

Event               TIME
Subtract            0:00:05
