Late Start

Summary

When the race starts by lifting up the E-card and finishes by punching the finish control, and if the runner starts later than the designated start time, you need to add the delay time to the record.

Why you need to add the delay time

When the race starts by lifting up the E-card and finishes by punching the finish unit, the runner's record is calculated by the time recorded in the E-card, which is the time from lift-up start to punching finish. In case the runner starts late, the record should be calculated from the designated start time, but the record will be actually calculated from the actual start time, which means the elapsed time will be smaller than the true record. Therefore, if the race style if lift-up start and punching finish, there is a need to add up the delay time.
However, if the race style is not lift-up start and punching finish, you should NOT input the delay time. If you do, that record will be added up to the true record, and the runner's elapsed time will be longer than the true record. If the race does not start by lifting up the E-card, the start time will be calculated from the designated start time. If the race does not finish by punching the finish unit, the finish time will be measured manually. In either cases, the record will be calculated accurately, and there is no need to add up the delay time.

Communication with Organizers at Start

Talk with the organizers at start beforehand about how to communicate information about runners' delay (communicate by phone, SNS, etc.). If the race style is lift-up start and punching finish, there is a need to input delay time to Mulka2, which means the organizers at start has to record late runners' start time. Also, organizers at start needs to quickly tell you (the organizer handling Mulka2) that information.
It is important that the organizers at start does not let the late starters to start at random time, but redesignate the late runners' start time to 00 secs or 30 secs every minute. This is because it will be easier for the organizers at start to record the start time, and because it will be easier for you(the organizer handling Mulka2) to distinguish between the runner who started late because of their delay and the runner who started late because of other reasons.

■ 入力方法 遅刻スタートした選手の競技者情報ウインドウより操作します。 該当者の競技者情報ウインドウはメインウインドウ左下の検索ボックスで氏名の一部やスタートナンバーを入力することで表示することができます。 競技者情報ウインドウを表示したら右側中段の「記録変更・遅刻対応(R)」ボタンをクリックし、記録変更・遅刻対応画面を表示します。 遅刻選手が既にフィニッシュしている場合は、注意事項リストに注意情報が表示されるので該当行をダブルクリックすることでも画面を表示することができます。 記録変更・遅刻対応画面を表示したら記録加算入力欄に遅刻スタート時刻または遅刻した時間分を入力します。 入力はhhmmssまたはmmss形式でコロン(:)の入力を省略することができます(入力しても構いません)。

■ 注意 遅刻スタートの場合、選手のスタート時刻を変更するのではなく上記の方法で入力してください。 選手のスタート時刻を変更した場合、運営側の都合で選手のスタート時刻を変更した意味になり、 遅刻スタート分の時間が記録に加算されません。
