Using the Timer and Recording an Athlete’s Run

To record an athlete’s run using the timer, first activate the specific Wave (see Setting Up Your Waves)

Then click on the Timer on the Black Bar, and choose your specific competition.

That will bring up the following screen:

To confirm the settings for your comp, click on the Settings icon on the upper right corner.  That will bring you to the Settings page for the Timer.  

Confirm that the Timer is counting Down, and confirm that the Fail mode is set to Continue; this is how we can continue to score points in FINA even after an obstacle fail. Leave the obstacle point at 1.

Use the Timer button in the upper right corner to return to the main timer page. (If everything has been previously set, you can go straight to the Line Manager page from the top black bar).

Click on the Line button on the top left corner to toggle to the Line Manager.

The Line Manager page will look like this

Click on the blue Next button next to the name of the next runner to load them into the Line Manager.  You do NOT need to pick the next person in line - you can skip over any athlete as necessary.  

The athlete list is set to perpetually run, to allow for two runs for Speed competitions, and any necessary re-runs.  The name of the athlete who just ran will cycle down to the bottom of the run order, and you can progress through the names as needed (once for Endurance, and twice for Speed).  NinjaWorks will automatically take the best time of each athlete, so there is no limit as to how many runs an athlete can register.

Once you have added the name to the Line Manager, click the Timer button to go back to the Timer page.  The name you chose should now show on the top of the Timer page.

If

If you load in a new name and the previous runner’s name is still showing, click the blue Reset button.  This will reset the Timer and the current athlete’s name should show up.

 To start the athlete’s run, click the large green Start button.

(We recommend counting down 3, 2, 1 Go.  Click the green button when you say Go).

Record the outcome of EACH OBSTACLE ATTEMPT using the yellow Complete or red Fail buttons.

Be sure to record the LAST obstacle completion using the yellow Complete button.  Then use the gray End Run button to stop the timer.  The official time for the athlete will revert to the last completed obstacle time.  There is no rush to end the run, but be sure to pay close attention to accurately record the last obstacle completion.

At the end of the run, this will be the final screen:

The yellow Obstacles number is the total number of successfully completed obstacles.  The Obstacles Seen is the total number of obstacle results recorded.  So for the above athlete, she completed 5 of 7 obstacles, and the last obstacle was logged as completed at 24.79 seconds.

In the instance of a False Start, simply end the run and then click the blue Reset button.  As long as you have not loaded another name into the Line Manager, the current athlete’s name will stay on the Timer and you can record another run.  

To load the next athlete, click on the Line button in the upper left corner and use the blue Next button to load the next athlete.  Use the Timer button in the upper left corner to return to the Timer page.  You can click the blue Reset button to ensure that the correct athlete name is displayed.  Repeat as necessary until all athletes have completed their designated number of runs.
