Step 1: Upload Your Teams
Upload your teams in .csv format. The .csv file should have the headers:
Name,TRN,Time,Declared
So for example:
| Name | TRN | Time | Declared |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supersonic Saltires | 249 | 15.9 | |
| Revolution | 382 | 16.13 | |
| High Flyers | 174 | 16.31 | |
| Extreme Racers | 234 | 16.38 | |
| Karma Drama | 251L | 17.50 | Declared |
| Extreme Acceleration | 234B | 17.83 | |
| Hypersonic Saltires | 249C | 17.92 | |
| Revolutionary Action | 382A | 18.02 | |
| ... | |||
Step 2: Divisions
Set your division numbers and number of teams per division.
Step 3: Running Order
Club Gap:
The minimum number of races between a clubs last race their next race. For a 1 ring show it's recommended that it's set to at least 1. For a 2 ring show use at least 3.
Team Gap:
The minimum number of races between a teams last race and their next race. For a 1 ring show it's recommended that it's set to at least 5. For a 2 ring show use at least 10.
You should tweak the two numbers above to try and achieve the largest gaps possible with 0 collisions. If you can't get to a reasonable gap with 0 collisions then you need to select manual override and manually drag and drop the races, for example if you plan to have a lunch break you can work the collisions around that race number.
Step 4: Downloads
With the running order generated you can now download the individual files for each division, flyball geek races & running order with gaps (useful for working out ring party & Judging). This page will also give you an ID that you'll later need for the paperwork.
Step 5: Paperwork
Make a copy of the appropriate spreadsheet from the google drive folder: Google Sheets. On the config tab insert the ID and the division number and it will pull the data from flyballbuff and populate the teams and the race order to match.
