Annotations
DNF, DNS, DQ, penalty or a simple note: whatever is special about an athlete in a race. An annotation immediately redoes the ranking of its race, on screen, in the database and in the .LIF file.
| Time | Race | Race state | Athlete | Type | Text | Origin | Database |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13:52:40 | 500 m Women — P05 | Raced | LEFÉBURE, Maud | DQ | Lane change | Operator | |
| 13:47:12 | 500 m Women — P04 | Raced | ELLINGSEN, Nora | DNF | Automatic |
- Add, edit, delete.
- The annotations: origin Operator or Automatic; “not in the database” if the write is pending.
Athlete annotations
Where: Timing, Annotations tab
- Add…: a race (loaded, in progress, finished, or raced since FINISH was launched), one of its athletes, a type, an optional text (50 characters at most).
- Edit…: the type and the text. Delete: after confirmation.
| The race is… | What the annotation changes |
|---|---|
| on screen (loaded, in progress, finished) | The athlete's row shows the code (red dot); timing continues. A DNF, DNS or DQ puts the athlete “out of the race”: they no longer prevent the race from finishing. Do not deactivate them (a deactivated athlete disappears from the standings). |
| raced since launch | This is the only correction allowed to the standings of a raced race: final time removed if the type requires it, athlete placed after the others, positions renumbered; the database is rewritten and the .LIF file regenerated. |
| from a previous session | The annotation can be read and deleted, but the saved standings are not redone from here; it will apply if the race is reloaded. |
Finished and All finished automatically give DNF to athletes without any lap: these DNFs appear here, marked “Automatic”. Removing an operator annotation gives the athlete back what they had. An athlete has only one annotation of each type per race; “Reset” on a raced race also deletes its annotations.
Annotation types
The second sub-tab: short code (8 characters at most), label, effect on the standings, order, origin.
| Effect | Final time | Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Note | kept | unchanged |
| Penalty | kept | after the others |
| Did not finish (DNF) | removed | after the others |
| Did not start (DNS) | removed | after the others |
| Disqualified (DQ) | removed | after the others |
Between two athletes placed after the others, the smaller Order goes first. “Shared” types come from the shared data and cannot be edited here: Copy… turns one into a type of this computer, to adapt. A type still in use cannot be deleted. Empty table at launch: FINISH creates DNF, DNS and DQ.
