Eventor Connection

Updated: 2012-11-30

MeOS has a direct connection to an Eventor server, which you can use if your country uses Eventor. You need an Eventor API key that you from your club's Eventor administrator. You will enter the key the first time you try to access Eventor.
Note
The API key should be handled with care. When you enter the key in MeOS, it is stored in an encrypted format, which makes it hard but not impossible to decode. To erase the key, select Competition from Eventor, Connection Settings and leave the field for the API key blank.
MeOS uses Eventor to automatically fetch classes and entries for your competition. Click Competition from Eventor on the first page. Select the competition from the list of competitions and then Next. Unless you are sure that your database is up to date, you should let MeOS update it.

In the next step, you have to input first start time and start method. If you select Simultaneous start or Drawn start list MeOS will create a start list for you automatically. Otherwise, that task is left to you.

If you have access to courses exported from OCAD or Condes, you should supply the file here. MeOS will import the courses and try to tie the classes to the right class.

Click Fetch Data from Eventor to complete the import.

In a competition from Eventor there is a button Eventor Connection on the page the page Competition. You can choose to Fetch Late Entries, Update the Runner Database, Publish Start List, or Publish Results. The latter two options uploads the start list and result / split times to Eventor. The split times may be automatically published on WinSplits Online (if your version of Eventor supports this).

When you create a new competition and the Eventor Connection is activated, MeOS will check if the runner database is dated. If so, MeOS asks if you wish to update it. You can also update the database manually, by selecting Competition from Eventor on the first page, but only check the option to update the runner database.
MeOS Insight
You can configure what Eventor service MeOS will work with from the settings page, that you find when no competition is open.
