Summary

When there is something strange about what the competitors did, information is shown on the warning list.
It is important to always check if there is any warning on the warning list.

How to Check the Warning List

The warnings will be shown on the Warning List at the sidebar, in the right-hand side of the Main Window.
When the warnings are shown, you should click on "Detail" to show details. Once you have checked the details, the background color will change from red to blue. When there is another warning, the color will be red again. So, make sure to check when the background color is red.

Also, you can check the warnings from the menu bar: [View]>[Warning List].
We recommend that you always turn on the side bar, so that you can always check for warnings.

Contents Shown on the Warning List

Late Start / Early Start

This warning may be shown when the race starts by lifting up the E-card and finishes by dubbing the finish unit.
The time of activation is calculated by Mulka using the E-card's internal clock and the PC clock. When the time of activation is 10 seconds or more earlier/later than the designated start time, the warning will be shown on the warning list. Also, on the result list, a "?" mark will be shown for runners who have started early/late.

There are two possibilities when this warning is shown: 1. When the runner has actually started early/late; 2. When the runner has actually started on the designated start time.
Case 2. occurs when: (a) the PC clock is off; (b) the E-card clock has stopped (because more than 2 hours has passed after the competitor's finish without downloading, or the E-card has been downloaded by a MTR before downloading with Mulka2); (c) the competitor used a different E-card than the prearranged one.
(a) If the PC clock is off, you will find out easily because the same warning will be shown when downloading almost every competitor's E-card. In this case, please immediately set the PC clock to right time.
(b) If the case is that the E-card clock has stopped, you may ignore the warnings, or you may edit the event data and turn the warning off.
There are other cases when the late/early start warning is mistakenly shown.

If the competitor has started on the designated start time and is not late/early, double-click the warning message and go to the "Change Result" view. Then, check the "Started at the original start time" box. If you do not check the box, the "?" mark will be shown on the result list, so the results will not be shown properly.
