A Team Lap Race is a special type of team score: one member of each team is on the track at a time and runs laps. The athlete is detected once per lap so that when athletes alternate the difference between the first read of a new athlete and the last read of the previous one becomes a lap time.
For events of this type, activate the option Lap Mode. Lap times will be calculated automatically and teams will be ranked by, first, number of laps and, second, time needed. It is easiest, if you select the Template Team Lap Race when creating your event file. The team score as well as result lists will be preconfigured.
When using the Lap Mode, additional team score fields will be calculated, like number of laps, fastest lap, slowest lap, etc. You will also have further options, if you activate Lap Mode, see options below.
Further Options
- If the first participant has to run a short track in order to reach the actual course ("Lemans"), activate the option Lap Times with Lemans - this way the first time is not counted as a lap.
- Activate the option Net Timing if the first read shall be subtracted from all other reads.
- Select a Timing Point if only results from that timing point shall be considered.
- Optionally, select results that hold a number of penalty laps or a penalty time.
- Optionally, define a minimum lap time.
- Optionally, ignore times before and/or after a certain time.
