Public Display for timed events

[David Tosch]

We have a timed event next week with 5 distances. The longest is 72 hours. We use HuTags with an additional timing chip on the back of the bibs. The system works perfectly. We use 2 Feibot mats and ask runners to check their lap count every lap. We had over 10K reads last year and I don't know of more than two or three misses. That is NOT counting the misses that happened when, after a rest, the runner started running without their HuTag.

 In the past I have just used the "Athlete" screen instead of the "public display" so runners can see their time and laps completed. Last year we were able to get the public display showing what we needed. This year I cannot get it to work correctly. The left column is displaying "splits, " "Name," and "total time." (No split times or bib#.) The right column displayed every runners as a finisher the first time through and nothing else after that. It is totally blank after everyone goes through once. Is there a setting I am missing?

Also, there is a wide gap between runners on the Public Display. With 5 races going on at the same time by Saturday we need them as close together as possible. None of the adjustments seem to change the separation.

In the "Settings" screen, click on the "Advanced" tab. Check the "Show Bib #" checkbox in the bottom left in the "Public Display" group box.

In the "Edit Race" page (in the "Basic Info" screen), you can swap it between displaying "Lap Time" or "Total Time".

See if that does the trick.
