Adjusting a Session in progress

Changing session duration

The duration can be changed by clicking on the current duration, entering the new duration and clicking update.

Durations can be entered as follows: 

• 99L for laps (where 99 is the number of laps to run)
• 99m or 9h99m for timed sessions, replacing the 9’s with the number of hours/minutes (e.g. 2h15m or 12m)
• For time plus a lap sessions, add a +1 or +2 etc after the m (e.g. 8m+1 for a race of 8 minutes and one lap).

Durations for all sessions or specific session types that have not been timed can be adjusted from Tasks on the Event Details page e.g. reducing the duration of all finals.

Changing session start options

The session start options can be changed by changed by clicking the gear icon under the flag buttons and above the lap counter.

This gives you the option to adjust the minimum lap time for this session and which lap should be counted as the start lap i.e. the competitors will cross the S/F loop during formation. 

You can also set the trigger for starting the race clock from the following options:

• first passing received
• when the green flag is clicked
• when the race clock is started.

Changing the start lap

If you forget to click the green flag before the session starts, go to the overview screen or lap chart screen, select the passing that should be the first one in the race and click "Set as first lap"

Changing the end lap

If the end lap of the session needs to be changed (for example if the start/finish marshal puts the flag out too early, or if the result needs to be rolled back, go to the overview screen or lap chart screen , find the correct last passing for the winner, and select Set as first finisher.

Ignoring a lap

A lap can be ignored (for example if a driver takes a short-cut) by right clicking the lap on the overview screen and selecting Ignore lap. In the overview screen (see General Settings to allow this view) you can also insert a manual passing and change the status of a lap (Race/Slow Down). 

Disallowing a laptime

A lap can be disallowed for that competitor, but the lap must be included in the lap count and race time. For example, this would be used in qualifying if a driver takes a short-cut, but are required to complete 4 laps.

Applying adjustments to competitors is explained in the Adjusting a Competitor's Results article.
