Ariadne - Technical description

Description

The setting of a number of competition parameters. Also initialization of the competition, as the deletion of entries, initializing of run data, emptying of the run event buffer. Initialization actions are protected with a password.

The competition parameters which can be set are:

• the name of the competition
• the abbreviation of the competition (required for archiving)
• start date of the competition (required for archiving)
• the modus of penalty entry (total per run, or penalty points per gate)
• the refesh interval for the run event monitoring and publication screens
• indication whether the entry period is closed

The actions behind password protection are:

• linking to another competition database
• removing all entries (required for initializing new competition)
• initializing all run results (for testing purposes)
• emptying the run event buffer (for testing purposes)

Initialization of a new competition

The initialization of a new competition is the easiest by copying an earlier version of the competition, and linking this competition to Ariadne. The competion name and other parameters need to be adjusted, and the entries need to be removed. Persons, Kayak clubs, categories and events can be re-used in this way.
