Move Pilot to Another Group
A pilot can be moved to any group provided that the move will not create a frequency
and/or team clash.
This screen gives information about each group.
To assist with this selection, the screen highlights
- Whether scores have been entered
- The number of pilots currently in each group
- Which groups have frequency clashes with the pilot
- Which groups have team clashes (if applicable) with the pilot
To make more groups available, options are provided to allow team clashes and to
ignore or change the pilot's frequency.
Re-Fly this Group
An entire group can be re-flown.
Make sure that the pilots entitled only to the re-flight score are given a zero
score in the original group. The program cannot check for this.
A new group with a re-flight number one greater (than the original re-flight number)
will be created.
Pilots will be credited with their best score out of all of their flights for the
round.
Create a New Group
A completely new group can be built.
This would normally be made up of pilots who are entitled to a re-flight, but can
include other pilots as well.
Pilots can be specifically chosen or they can be randomly chosen for you by the
program by clicking the 'Randomly Select a Pilot' button.
The new group will have a group number one higher than the highest group number
for the round.
Pilots will be credited with their best score out of all of their flights for the
round.
Split Group - Speed and F5B only
The buttons for splitting groups are towards the bottom left of the screen and are
only available for Speed and F5B.
Splitting groups is for cases where a round cannot be completed in consistent conditions
and to continue would be unfair to the remaining pilots.
Groups are always split into two, but these groups can be split again if desired.
Each group is scored separately.
Retire Pilot/s
If a number of pilots retire from the competition, the result can be that some groups
are left with very few pilots.
The answer is to take the following steps.
- Go to the Pilot Entry screen and mark these pilots as Retired. Save these changes.
- From the Competition setup screen, adjust the Groups/Round (if necessary)
- From the Competition setup screen, re-draw the remaining rounds
By following this procedure
- Retired pilots are excluded from the re-draw
- The re-drawn rounds are optimised for the remaining pilots in the same way as the
original draw, so fairness is maintained
- Each re-drawn group will each have (about) the same number of pilots
