Manual Leg Settings

Updated: 2015-12-28

If none of the predefine form of competitions suite you needs, you can change the rules for each leg manually. Select a class on the page Classes. If it is a multi class, you will see a table like form with settings for each leg, see the section on multi classes. The possible settings are explained below.

Leg type decides the rules for the leg and how results are calculated. There are the following options. The field Start type defines how the leg starts using the following options. In the field Start time you can specify the start time (when the start type is start time) or the first start time (when the start time is pursuit). When the start type is Changeover you can either specify Ordered, which means that the runners will start in the order of the team line-up, or specify a leg. For parallel legs, ordered means that the runner that finishes first on the preceding leg will send out the runner that is listed first on the next leg, and so on. By instead specifying a leg, you say that the runner must be sent out by that specified runner. For example you can specify that leg 1 sends out leg 3 and leg 2 sends out leg 4, no matter who finishes first of leg 1 and leg 2.

The field Runner decides which team member will run the leg. The normal case for a rely is that this number is the same as the leg number. But you can select the runner of a previous leg, which means this runner will run again. For example, if you want the same runner to run, say, leg one and three, select Leg 1 in this field for leg three.
Note
The team settings are quite flexible and therefore quite complicated. If you are organizing a relay with special rules, you should make a small test competition to ensure that you and MeOS agrees on how the rules are interpreted.
The fields Rope and Restart are explained in the section Restarting.
