Event File Template Change Log

Version 7.0 - Released 08/05/2026

• Complete rebuild of the NICA template event file. Please see 7.0 notes for full details.

Version 6.3 - Released 08/12/2025

New Features

• Added support for transgender inclusion policy
• Adding finish percentiles

Under Lists > 99-Exports > RaceExport > Data Format, add the following.

This will allow the Finish Percentage to calculate for each race, and it will be exported with the point data to move between event files.

The leagues already racing can do the same, except I would have them create a separate list for the export to avoid interfering with any of their points, just as a precaution since it will be season-end. They can create a new list using the same formulas listed above (DecimalTime3101 to DecimalTime3105).

The last thing to do is create a list to export the average. The ID column can be updated as needed to export the correct ID value for matching across leagues.

Version 6.2 - Released 03/18/2025

New Features

• Added support for elementary school categories

  • Added ElementarySchoolTeamScoresEnabled. See section 3.25
  • Updated SchoolType UDF calculation

  • Contest ID no longer matters for determining MS vs HS vs ES
• Added Regionals Export list. See section 7.7

Fixes

• Result IDs 601-610 need to be updated to fix an issue with DNF points allowing for bonus points at the end of the season. Below is the corrected formula for result 602 as an example. The other results can be updated with the same changing the number 2 according to the race number. For example, 603 would use the number 3 in place of the 2.

switch(T702=1 OR ([Event.Series.RaceNum]=2 AND [T1000]>val([Event.DNF_Points]));1;T1002>val([Event.DNF_Points]);1)

• The UDF isOnCourse has an incorrect filter. The portion in bold needs to be updated to the below.

• The UDF StatusText conflicts with the default field name StatusText. To fix it, go to Main Window > Participant Data > User Defined Fields & Functions. Rename StatusText to StatusText2

This feature only supports calculated results for these segments on one lap. There is a new User Defined Attribute that allows the timer to select which lap these segments will calculate during. If there is a need for segment times for each lap please send in an email or request on the next call.

Fixes
