Fyrklubbs |
Fyrklubbs is a special club competition held once
each year in the district Skåne in Sweden. The event itself is
held as a normal O event, but the most important result there is the
club result which has to be calculated in a well defined way.
Each club
is acting as a team. The teams are assigned to 5 divisions A - E. Those
divisions are similar to football leagues etc. After the
event, the best teams of each division is allowed to ascend to the
next higher division, while the last teams have to descend to the next
lower division for the next year.
Each division has 6 courses. Each club
must have at least a predefined number of runners in each course. The result
of each club is computed
as the sum of the best n times in each course. If a club does not have
enough runners in a course, then it can't get a valid result.
For example,
in the highest division A, each club must have the following numbers on
the 6 courses:
Men Long: 5 runners, Men Medium: 5, Men Short: 5, Women Long: 3, Women
Medium: 2, Women Short: 2.
This decreases down to the lowest division F, where the numbers are
2/2/3/1/1/2.
Of course, it is necessary to have more runners starting on each course
than required, because some may not finish because of mispunches, etc.
These
requirements had been solved by the application Fyrklubbs,
which is an add on to OESverige and works directly on its event
data.
It includes:
- Course definitions for the 5 divisions
- Special entry report which shows if all teams fulfil the requirements
of their division.
- Special result report which can also be used during the race by
the speaker.
For 2002, the software had been updated to the level
of version 9.8. An automatic result report had been added, as well
as a new classification
by the number of started runners per club.
In 2004, there was another
update to the current version 10.1. Some new result reports had been
added.
