  • Every district should enter its Race plan as soon before the season as possible. It is important for combined races (regional and national). Combine admins need to have district races available to lock them under combine / national level races.
  • If you plan to use some point system for your race results, you can enter default point system parameters for every race. This will be used as defaultsystem for every results, where score calculation is enabled.
  • If you need diferrent point system for each type of results that you calculate per race, you can use alternative point systems. You can create as many as you need, define desired point parameters for each race, then just connect your point system to type of results where it should be used (in Types of results administration).

Point system parameters explained
  • Skokový systém / Lineárny systém: Selection will show / hide correct fields for desired point system.
  • Skokový systém : system used in Slovakia for calculating points for arrived pigeons based on point table. Arrived pigeons (first 20%) is divided to prize groups by percentual dropdown value, often 2% = 10 groups by 2% of pigeons = 20%. Each group of pigeons receives the same point value. Next group receives less points by point dropdown value. Points are calculated as whole numbers, without decimals.
  • Lineárny systém : with this system, every pigeon receives diferrent point value based on his prize in results. First pigeon gets the maximum point value, every next pigeon gets less by calculated linear diferrence based on number of prizes and last pigeon point percentage value. Points are calculated with 2 decimal values precision.
  • Point by point system : system used in Iraq. First pigeon get maximum points. Every next scoring pigeon receives less by 1 point down to zero. Only used field in Race administration is maximum points, nothing else is necessary for this system. Points are calculated as whole numbers, without decimals.
  • Maximum bodov : values used by all point systems. It is the point value that either first pigeon or first group of pigeons receives in results.
  • Percentuálny pokles : divides arrived pigeons in groups by %. Usual values are 1,2, sometimes 3%. 1% provides the finest division.
  • Bodový pokles :
  • Posledný holub - percento bodov z maxima : used in linear system only. Defines points for last arrived pigeon in results by percentage from maximum points. If maximum points is 50, point percentage for last pigeon is 40, last pigeon receives 20 points. All pigeons between first and last will receive linearry incremental part between these values.
  • Bodujúca séria : maximum nomination (basketing order) of pigeon that allows him to receive score for competition. If this value is set to 20, pigeons that are basketed as 21st and later will not receive score for primary competition in results. Score will be calculated and it can be used for secondary competitions but not for primary championship displayed in results. It is used to limit number of pigeons that have chance for scoring in primary competition, so also fanciers with less pigeons have a good chance of winning. Fanciers with more pigeons need to select their scoring team for basketing.
  • Max. bodujúce holuby : maximum number of pigeons for 1 fancier or 1 team to receive score for primary competition. If this value is set to 5, only 5 first pigeons of fancier or team will receive score for primary competition. Next pigeons' score will not be used for team score result.

Deleting a race

You can delete only races that have no race data uploaded. In case they do, you need to delete all race data first. Country administrators can delete all races without deleting race data first, they will be deleted for them automatically.

For races that can be deleted, red delete button is shown. After clicking it, you will be asked for confirmation of your action.

Race order explained

There is 1 more parameter available, when editing a race, which is not available in "New race form" - Race order. This is set automatically for each race when creating race plan and it normally goes from 1 to number of races.

Order of races should be consistent with their dates. If you change dates (switch races in race plan), you need to change also the order of races, so championship score after each race is correctly calculated and displayed.

When you have multiple races on the same day, race order will be used to calculate and display championship standing after each race. Recommended option is to set lower order to races which will be evaluated first, higher to those later. If you race 1 short distance + 1 long distance race, it is better to set lower race order to the short distance race as it has a better chance to be evaluated sooner.

Alternatívne bodovanie

This feature will allow you to use diferrent point systems for all results calculated within 1 race. Most of the times, all results use the same system that is set as default for the race. But it often happens that 1 or more clubs want to use diferrent score calculation than the rest of the district. In such case, this feature is what they need.
