early starts - doing something wrong

[Rod Simpson]

Okay I am doing something wrong, but don't know what.

2 examples:: Both races are gun time, no chip start capture.

1) Ronald Gehl - 50K race - Bib #315

The run started at 7:30, Ronald started early at 6 am.

In the race screen I set his start time to 6 am.​ before the run started.

In the timing screen it says he started at 6 am.​

However, his final time is 9:52:49 .  It should have an extra hour and a half because of the early start.

His splits in the timing screen are: ​

Split 1: 00:42:43

Split 2: 02:05:28

Split 3: 02:10:23

Split 4: 02:19:23

Finish: 02:34:50

Each one should have an extra hour and a half.

​

2) C​hristopher Bardwell - 24K - Bib # 405 

I did not know Chris started early until he came through on his first lap and realized his time was way too fast so I caught him at the finish and asked him what happened.  He said he started early. 8 am start instead of the 9:15 am.  

Set his start time in the race screen: ​

I did manual adjust his time by adding an hour and 15 minutes but was curious why the early start thing did not work.  Does it matter if I adjust after he finishes?

Chris' original splits:

Split 1:  55:34 - I changed it to 1:54:34

Finish: 1:35:19:75 - I changed it to 2:50:75

Thanks,
Rod

I always make a duplicate of the race and only put the early starters in that race and start the clock on go. Also, early starters get a medal, but do not qualify for awards. Same as drop downs.
