Swiss O Week 1996 |
Swiss O Week 1996 had been held in Brunnen/Switzerland
from August 3rd to 10th.
Swiss O Week was organised as a 6 days event. Overall results were
calculated by score rates. Elite categories had a special competition
scheme to attract spectators. There was a prologue (short distance)
with couple starts. On day 3, Elite runners had to compete in a spectacular
loop orienteering event with mass start. The final decision was made
by chase start. Start times were calculated from score rates after
day 5 (incl. prologue) by a special formula. Organisers of Swiss O
Week did the best choice selecting the software to use. OLEinzel was
used for the prologue while the 6 days were organised using MTageOL.
They are both standard applications now successful on the market for
10 years. Special features of Swiss O Week had to be implemented in
an individual application named SwissOL. SwissOL operates on existing
OLEinzel resp. MTageOL data and uses existing modules of both applications.
A
short list of SwissOL features:
- organising the prologue (data transfer between OLEinzel and MTageOL)
- mass start for the loop orienteering event
- calculating score rates
- chase start for Elite categories
- several special result reports
Organisers of Swiss O Week were very pleased with performance and
productivity of the software. Among others, start times of each stage
had to be adjusted to the difficult transport organisation. MTageOL
covers this with its standard features.
