Format of the exported file The exported file is a text file. For normal courses there is one line per course/class, for relay courses and one-man relay courses there is one line per runner (the range of start numbers must have been defined in the Courses dialog box).

1. Class name as entered in the Classes dialog box. If courses are exported (see above Export) then this field remains empty.
2. Course name.
3. Start number.

• for normal courses this number is "0".

• for one-man relay courses this is the start number (e.g. "201")

4. Length of the course in km (calculated length + extra length entered in the Course dialog box).

In the left box you find a list of all controls with the number of runners visiting that control. Select a control to show in the right box all classes containing that control.

Event statistic

Export Course Maps

Use this command if you want to make modifications to courses which are otherwise not possible. The common modifications like moving the control numbers or modifying the connection lines are possible without using this command. See Making Modifications for more information.

Using this command may be dangerous. If you make modifications to the courses after exporting the course maps, the exported course maps are not updated and are therefore not correct. Only use this command if you are absolutely sure that the courses are final.
