II. Basic Heats
II.1 Step 1: Create Two Events – a Qualifier and a Finals
Figure II-1

Create one event for the qualifier and name it appropriately
Figure II-2

Create one event for the finals and name it appropriately.

Link it to the qualifier by identifying the qualifier in the pulldown.
II.2 Step 2: Set the Runorder for Qualifier
Figure II-3
Figure II-4

Pick the HalfPipe qualifiers
Figure II-5

When you get to the type of runorder, pick "Set Heat Order"

Note that heats are recommended for SS and HP. However, they don't have to be used.
Further, they could be used for other event like Aerials or Moguls.
Figure II-6

When you get to the heats page:
1. Pick semi Finals red)
2. Enter the number of heats. You get this from the TD, but it's generally enough for 20-30
competitors per heat. (blue)
3. Pick "Random" to assign people to the heats randomly. Pick "US Ranking" to use rankings.
(green)
Figure II-7

Note that groups say "M-1" for Male Heat 1
Figure II-8

Registration also says "M-1" for Male Heat 1
II.3 Step 3: Print the Qualifier Runorder
Figure II-9
Figure II-10

Printing is no different from before ....
Figure II-11

... except that the order shows "M-1" for Male Heat 1, and heats are in in order.
II.4 Step 4: Score as You've Done Previously
Figure II-12
II.5 Step 5: Print Event Results for the Qualifier
Figure II-13

The “Heat” field could be used to print just one of the heats (not normally done)

Note that heat numbers are included in the listing
Figure II-14

Optionally, any listing can be restricted to only one heat (for posting, as an example).
Figure II-15
II.6 Step 6: Set the Runorder for Finals
Figure II-16
Figure II-17
Figure II-18

Use "Set heat order" again
Figure II-19

And pick "Finals"
Figure II-20

"Straight reverse" of the qualifier for the order is OK
Figure II-21

Link the seeding to the qualifier
Figure II-22

Pick the number in the finals (see red). Ask the TD for these numbers.

Pick how many come from each heat (see blue). In this case, 6 males come from each heat
(12 total), with the other 4 from the overall list. The goal is for 75% to come from the heats.
Ask the TD for these numbers.
Figure II-23
Figure II-24

Note that there are no heats for the finals runorder.
II.7 Step 7: Score the Finals
Figure II-25
Figure II-26
II.8 Step 8: Print the Finals
Figure II-27
Figure II-28

Print the finals event as before
Figure II-29
Figure II-30

Optionally, print both events
Figure II-31

Shows finals (red) and semis (blue)
III. Optional: Manually Changing Competitors Heats
Figure III-1
Figure III-2

Double click the person in the registration Note that Cooper is Heat-2
Figure III-3

Click Advanced
Figure III-4

Change "2" ...
Figure III-5
Figure III-6

Note that Cooper is now Heat-1
Figure III-7

Rerun the runorder (important).

However, if you don’t want to change the runorder, hand-write the changes on the old order,
and don’t rerun.
Figure III-8
Figure III-9
Figure III-10

This time use "Keep existing" so that heats aren't reassigned.
IV. Optional: Understanding Finals Selection
Figure IV-1
Figure IV-2

Let's print the male order from the Qualifiers
Figure IV-3
Figure IV-4

The top 6 men from Heat-1 are picked (red)
Figure IV-5

Then the top 6 men from Heat-2 are picked (blue)
Figure IV-6

Then the field is filled out with the to sixteen from the remaining people in the overall (green)

Note that this almost always produces the same result as just the top 16 overall when there
are two big heats.

Using smaller heats (e.g., 6 heats of 8 men with the top 2 in the finals) can be easier for the
judges and produce more exciting results.
