Club and Ski Club Unleashed! Software Changes:

Below is a list of changes that may help you decide if you need the latest version/revision of the software (or not).

New versions are created when either a needed change has been made to the software or a significant new feature is added. New revisions are made when only minor changes or additions are released.

Note: All versions/revision before 5.00 rev 1 are the Club Software, everything after that is Ski Club Unleashed!

       Download the latest version/revision

  • 1/28/2012 ver 5.00, rev 11 :
  • Corrected an issue with manual time entry from the 'Other' menu when entering times for duals.
  • USCSA: Added checking for non XML characters for the data being sent to USCSA for processing.
  • 1/18/2012 ver 5.00, rev 10 :
  • Added Team Scoring for `NY Section 2`.
  • USCSA: added an option on the header (only visible when set to USCSA) which will list the USCSA member number in the hometown column of the competitor`s tab. This will make it easier to make sure everyone has a USCSA number set.
  • USCSA: corrected an issue with sending results to USCSA which was an unintended consequence of the switch to unlimited runs.
  • 1/17/2012 ver 5.00, rev 9 :
  • Corrected an issue that could cause the right course not to be sent to live-timing when timing dual races.
  • 1/15/2012 ver 5.00, rev 8 :
  • Changed the logic when downloading the logos from Live-Timing to allow the full list (it was cutting off the last few because the list was getting long).
  • 1/9/2012 ver 5.00, rev 7 :
  • Added an option to Dual to calculate final result as `Combined of best 2 on either course`. This is useful for a situation where racers may take two (or more) runs on the same course but you need to get a combined.
  • Added export options when dual is set for up to 3 results per course (these export options supercede the previous `Crs 1` and `Crs 2` options).
  • Corrected an issue with the transition to Unleashed! where importing and exporting time of day data could cause an error.
  • Corrected an issue with Team scoring when using `User Defined Team Scoring` where a team score is `Lowest Total of Place`.
  • 12/29/2011 ver 5.00, rev 6 :
  • Added a `Final Result` option for dual course for `Best result from either course`.
  • Added an option to the Import tool to import course 2 (right) results when Dual Course is selected as the race type. The options to import times may be used multiple times to import any number of runs into either course.
  • Updated the Import `from DOS standard software` so that if the race type is set to Single course both results will go into single and if set to Dual the first result will go into course 1 (left) and the 2nd result will go into course 2 (right).
  • 12/20/2011 ver 5.00, rev 5 :
  • For USCSA races: when importing competitors where the member# isn't imported, if a match is found on first, last and team in the USCSA Competitor List the corresponding member number will be assigned.
  • Changed the USCSA Competitor List download from the test site to the production site.
  • 12/12/2011 ver 5.00, rev 4 :
  • Changed the "Sort by Combined/Best" to "Sort by Final Result" and changed the logic to work correctly.
  • Corrected issues with OISRA and PACRAT team scoring caused by the transition to unlimited runs.
  • 12/7/2011 ver 5.00, rev 3 :
  • Added support for the Microgate Microtab scoreboard.
  • 12/5/2011 ver 5.00, rev 2 :
  • Added an export option to include `all results`. It will include all runs separated by commas. If used this should be placed last in list of fields because it will create an unknown number of fields and anything after may not be where it was expected.

Version 5.00  12/3/2011

  • First release as Club Unleashed!
  • Software overhauled to manage Unlimited Runs.
  • Extended the maximum number of competitors on course for single run format from 4 to 10.
  • Modified the method of editing times including adding an option to edit Time Of Day information.
  • Added different variations on combined/best.
  • Added a practice mode in timing screens (when a timer isn't selected).
  • Added a start report with options to select fields to be included.
  • Added a report based on unlimited results.
  • Import/Export with unlimited runs (up to 4 results).
  • Added a maximum time to single course timing (for automated timing etc.)
  • Added USCSA Competitor list download and lookup.
  • 6/24/2011 ver 4.10, rev 10 :
  • Added the ability to capture and use the bib number in XC timing if supplied by the timer (REI2, RaceTime2 CP540). For this to work the start queue must be empty (can't be populated with times or manually entered bibs).
  • 3/27/2011 ver 4.10, rev 9 :
  • When timing with the Microgate RaceTime2 there is now the ability to capture bib numbers from the timer. A check box is visible when you select the RaceTime2 to enable this feature. The bib number will automatically populate the bib field when a start time is received while timing.
  • 3/22/2011 ver 4.10, rev 8 :
  • Changed the method used for Automated Backups because the process of compressing the files into a .zip file caused problems with some users. It now makes full size copies of the file being backed up in a sub folder called Backups. Since the files are larger than the compressed files the number of backups kept for each race file may be selected via the Edit Options screen. The default is 10 backup copies per file. Backups are only created if the file has changed since the last backup.
  • If the TAG Heuer CP540 is used in Net Times mode the software can capture the bib number from the start impulse and automatically place that person in the start gate as they start. This works with both a Serial and a LAN connection.
  • 3/1/2011 ver 4.10, rev 7 :
  • Added an option for automated backups into a .zip file! The default is every 5 minutes if the data has changed. This process is controlled through the Edit|Options screen and includes an explanation of how it works.
  • Added an interface for the TAG CP 540 via LAN. This manages the interface for both net times and time of day. It also sends data to the Timer for printing.
  • ALGE TIMY default channels changed for "Dual Timer" via the serial interface and for the USB interface.
  • For custom reports and custom scoreboard output added an additional optional field to the formatting specification. The optional field specifies the start position of the data as: [stuff to be formatted,alignment,length{,start}] This is explained with an example in the instructions for custom formatting in both custom reports and custom scoreboard output.
  • 2/10/2011 ver 4.10, rev 6 :
  • Modified the process explained under 'Solve Key Problems' to make it simpler and added a link to it from the Help menu.
  • Corrected the memory mapping process when using the ALGE Timy via USB.
  • Changes to the Dual ALGE 2/4 scoreboard output. In single course timing shows the combined or best on the 2nd board. In dual timing now shows the bib for each course (this would only apply on a 4 board setup with a bib/place board and time board for each course).
  • Corrected a minor issue with a setting for USCSA events where Combined might not be set properly.
  • 12/30/2010 ver 4.10, rev 5 :
  • For USCSA Team Report added value for place points.
  • Modifications to NH Team Scoring: Corrected an issue where ties for 4th in a team would expand the number used for the team total, changed the team score listed on the competitors tab to a score rather than a time, changed ties to be average of points rather than tied at that point level.
  • For PACRAT scoring changed logic for number of people in a class to only include those in the same class and gender.
  • 12/21/2010 ver 4.10, rev 4 :
  • Added an option to USCSA data transmission to save the file and made a small correction to the XML file.
  • 12/16/2010 ver 4.10, rev 3 :
  • Added team scoring options for NH High School, CO High School, and PACRAT scoring. Selecting these from the Team Scoring selection on the Header Tab will give an explanation of the rules applied. The points calculated are shown on the Competitors Tab and there is a report available in the Print menu.
  • 12/9/2010 ver 4.10, rev 2 :
  • USCSA : changed the transmission date format; made a mandatory selection for race type before sending data; changed 'Course' tags to simply 1 & 2; made gender mandatory.

Version 4.10  12/1/2010

  • On Dual Timing screen added columns for Class and Team. These are controlled via checkboxes at the bottom of the screen so optionally the Class and Team columns don't need to be shown.
  • Added support for timer Microgate REI2 wireless. This timer can supply Bib which is used on Single and Dual timing to populate the start gate if a competitor with that bib can be found.
  • Export now splits ranks so 'Overall' and 'Rank by Class' may be exported at the same time.
  • On the XC/MTB/Running Timing Screen added buttons for False Start and False Finish. These could be handled previously but had to be done in different ways depending on the use of the queues. These buttons manage false start and finish exactly as expected no matter how the queues are used making the functionality clearer.
  • On XC Timing screen added 'hints' on the action buttons to explain what they do. These become visible when the mouse hovers over a button.
  • Added statistics to the bottom of the XC Timing screen, for example: "24 Competitors, 2 haven't started, 18 DNFs, 1 DSQ, 3 with a time". These statistics are updated each second.
  • When it's a XC event the same statistics as above are displayed near the top left of the competitors tab.
  • When XC is selected there is now an additional column on the competitors tab to show distance for competitors.
  • Changes for USCSA (which apply when the USCSA checkbox is checked on the Header Tab):
  • When USCSA there is a button on the Competitors Tab named 'Send Race to USCSA'. After verifying all competitors have valid Class information it brings up a screen that gathers USCSA relevant information and sends the race results directly to USCSA for scoring.
  • When USCSA the Member# checkbox is automatically checked and when the Edit Competitor screen is shown that field will come up as 'USCSA Number'.
  • When USCSA the Edit Competitor screen enforces rules specifically for USCSA. The Class must be filled out with 1 of 4 options (from a drop down) and if Class is selected to be 'Unscored/Guest' the Team field must be blank.
  • 4/4/2010 ver 4.06, rev 12 :
  • Added sort option to manage sorting by intermediates. A screen comes up to give possible sorting options. This is for use with the XC/MTB/Running option.
  • Added intermediate sorting to custom reports.
  • Added sorting in custom reports by custom4, custom5 and custom6 fields.
  • 3/12/2010 ver 4.06, rev 11 :
  • Added a Bibbo sort option with the ability to select the number to reverse.
  • Added a Team Scoring option for USCSA events. Ghost times are calculated and used if needed. The ghost time used is displayed at the top of the Competitors screen and the Team Report.
  • Added a check box on the header screen for USCSA. If selected it will set the header correctly for USCSA and select the USCSA Team Scoring option.
  • Moved the 'Software Key' sub menu from 'Timing' to it's own menu at the top of the software.
  • Added an option under 'Software Key' explaining how to deal with common key problems including the situation where the key isn't found.
  • The Best/Combined selection on the header screen is now saved with the race file.
  • Added logic to allow non ASCII characters (such as many used in Icelandic)to be transmitted correctly to Live-Timing.
  • 1/31/2010 ver 4.06, rev 10 :
  • In the Export screen added the option to export times as seconds rather than minutes and second to simplify importing into spreadsheets. For example, a time over a minute like 1:23.45 would become 83.45
  • 1/30/2010 ver 4.06, rev 9 :
  • Added a column to the Competitors screen for Gender. This field must be selected on the header for the title of the column and the data to be displayed.
  • Added a scoreboard option to help manage busy races where you may not want the combined time sent to the display. It's a checkbox on the Setup and Test screen called "Only send 2nd Run time instead of 2nd Run then Combined".
  • 1/4/2010 ver 4.06, rev 8 :
  • Added bi-directional printing for TAG Heuer CP540/CP440.
  • Changed listing of TAG Heuer CP540 to include the new CP440 timer.
  • Corrected logic while changing between Serial/LAN/USB with regards to Timer Mapping.
  • Updated key driver with installation to latest version which supports Windows 7.
  • Correcting sorting logic for team scores when using 'User Defined Team Scoring' with 'Total Points' and 'All' competitors.
  • We're working on solving an issue with sending attached reports to Live-Timing.com. While this is being resolved this revision uses the old approach of line by line transmission rather than the whole report at once.
  • 10/13/2009 ver 4.06, rev 7 :
  • Changed the process for saving changes to custom reports because in some situations they weren't being saved.
  • 8/3/2009 ver 4.06, rev 6 :
  • Changed interface to ALGE Timy via USB so the software will start gracefully (without an error) if the Timy USB driver hasn't been installed.
  • 6/17/2009 ver 4.06, rev 5 :
  • Minor fix to remove 'TOD Fix' button from competitors screen. This feature is under construction and was not intended to be visible yet...
  • 6/15/2009 ver 4.06, rev 4 :
  • Added support for ALGE Timy connected via USB. This requires a driver to be installed which is available rom ALGE. The interface also includes a utility written by ALGE (and modified slightly). Select USB on the Timing Test screen, select Timy from the dropdown which enables the USB Timy Control button. The Timy Control screen includes a link to get the driver.
  • Made a correction with pasword registration at Live-Timing.com.
  • Added a link at the bottom of the Live-Timing screen to take you directly to the race's page on Live-Timing.com when a race is registered. Also added a button to copy the link to the clipboard.
  • Corrected a tabbing issue in the Edit Competitor screen between the Custom fields.
  • 6/14/2009 ver 4.06, rev 3 :
  • Corrected a problem where transmission of data to Live-Timing would cause the software to wait if there was a problem with the connection or the connection was slow.

  • Software no longer saves the Raw Data in the race file.
  • 1/3/2009 ver 4.04, rev 2 :
  • Added functionality to trap file errors with Defaults File, Race Files, and Custom Report Files. The hope is this will narrow down and identify unexpected file related errors with Vista.

Version 4.04  12/26/2008

  • Software will now check for updates automatically if the computer has an internet connection. If updates are found the changes will be listed with an option to download the latest version/revision. Live-Timing interface updated to include ability to select Logos and to include a User Name and Password which allows the entry to be managed from the Live-Timing web site.
  • Default size of the Single & Dual Timing screens expanded to match the main screen.
  • Single Course leaders now displays top 10 (previously top 5), is now on by default, and will show leaders from 1 run if nobody has a 2nd run result.
  • Corrected a problem with single course timing where displaying the leaders would cause problems with data transmitted to Live-Timing.
  • 9/23/2008 ver 4.03, rev 11 : In XC Timing will now show estimated running time when a bib is entered into the finish queue when the queue is being used for bibs.
  • Made the ability listed below to show the running time on the scoreboard in XC Timing optional. It is off by default whenever the software is started and can be enabled via a checkbox on the XC Timing screen.
  • 9/13/2008 ver 4.03, rev 10 : In XC Timing it will now display the running time for the next competitor expected at the finish if the finish queue is being used for bibs. In other words, if you key in that bib 55 is approaching the finish it will display a running time for bib 55 and then display the elapsed when they finish.
  • Added a button in the Import screen to clear all column definitions.
  • 7/17/2008 ver 4.03, rev 9 : Added ability to change how often the software saves the race file. Default is 60 seconds but can be anything from 1 second to an hour. Can be changed in Edit | Options.

    • Added options to automatically sort the competitors before generating a report. Up to 3 sorts may be selected.
    • On the 'Class/Team Header' tab if the middle option is chosen (to create a report by Class) then when the report is generated a selection screen will be given to choose:
      • Which classes to include in the report.
      • How many in each class to include (such as 'All' or top 5).
  • Changes to XC/MTB/Running Timing screen:
    • Expanded the screen, now optimized for 1024x768.
    • Added a column for Class.
    • Lengthened lists so can scroll through top 50 in each list.
    • Added ability to show leaders for a selected class.
    • Double Click on a competitor to edit their data.
    • Added a notes column, shows if already have a start or finish when added to those columns and number of intermediates.
    • Added an option to access Custom Reports directly from XC Timing screen.
  • 2/24/2008 ver 4.03, rev 6 : Added Oregon High School Team Scoring (OISRA).

  • Corrected header for MN Team scoring to show team points total.
  • Added scoreboard output to XC/MTB/Running Timing screen.
  • Modified scoreboard output to deal with hours (will not work on all scoreboards but does work on ALGE).
  • Added timer option for Microgate RaceTime2 at 9600 baud.

Version 4.03   12/28/07

  • Modified the date management in files to deal with non-US regional settings. For any non-US cutomers who had an error when opening or closing the software, this will probably solve it...
  • 12/27/07 ver 4.02, rev 3 : Added Assigned Start Time to Custom Report. Fields are AssignedStart1Tenths and AssignedStart1Seconds.
  • Added option for Team Scoring when set to 'User Defined' of 'Lowest Total of Place'. This uses the final rank of each competitor, using either the place by class or overall place depending on the header. If they don't have a result they are given the highest place + 1.
  • Corrected a problem with loading a user defined points system where previously it was loading them offset by one.
  • 12/22/07 ver 4.02, rev 2 : Added logic to deal with read-only files and not attempt to save files to non-writable media (such as a CD). Files often are set to read only when moved between computers via CD.
  • Added logic to check if the file to be opened (either race file or import file) is currently locked by another application such as Excel or Word so it can be dealt with gracefully. Now it gives a warning explaining the file is locked.
  • Added Intermediate or Lap timing for XC/MTB/Running. In the Timing screen when a Finish is received for a competitor where they already have a finish, the previous finish will be placed in the next available intermediate position. In this way Laps may be times by repeatedly treating them as finishes.
  • Added Generic Times and Ranks to Custom Reports. This allows the generation of times and ranks for any Intermediate/Lap combination to any precision. Please see the instructions on the Edit Custom Report screen.

Version 4.02   12/6/07

  • Added Custom Reports. This is a significant addition to the software allowing reports to be designed by the user. Two sample reports are included. Please go to Print | Custom Report | Edit, choose one of the sample reports to look at. Be sure to read the explanation on the Edit Custom Report screen.
  • 11/27/07 ver 4.01, rev 4 : Corrected a bug with changes for rev 3 (below) where it wouldn't give times to the timing screen even though everything would appear normal from the 'Setup & Test' screen.
  • 11/14/07 ver 4.01, rev 3 : Added new timer option for 'TAG 520/705 Net Times Only'. This accepts times from the timer when the timing is managed on timer rather than the computer. For the CP 705 it will also accept DNF data and move it to the DNF section in the timing screen.
  • Changed .dll file for Summit Systems SRT1000 to newer version. This version allows serial ports above 4 for the SRT1000.
  • 11/6/07 ver 4.01, rev 2 : Added the revision number to the title on the main screen.
  • Installation changed to support Windows Vista.
  • Added timer option for ALGE TIMY Dual Timer (9600). This is the same as the ALGE TIMY option except the inputs are mapped to match the TIMY input mapping for duals.
  • Corrected a XC problem related to assigning finish times.

Version 4.01   10/15/07

  • Corrected a problem in XC Timing where Run Number wouldn't be set which caused a run error.
  • Corrected error caused by time-of-day values with leading spaces being thought to be invalid.
  • Updated the 'About Demo Mode' screen.
  • Changed icon for software and for shortcut (when installed via installation program).
  • Changed icon for help buttons.
  • 10/5/07 ver 4.00, rev 3 : Corrected a potential problem where it was possible to import data where the bib number had leading or trailing spaces. It could cause a problem because a " 2" bib is different than a "2".
  • If case the above had happened on any files it now always truncates the value for Bib when reading the race file.
  • 10/5/07 ver 4.00, rev 2 : If XC is selected there are now fields available in Block Edit to clear or set Assigned Start and Start TOD (Time Of Day)
  • Corrected a problem where times weren't coming through to XC Timing screen
  • Changed XML processing logic so that html tags could be embedded in text fields (such as an image tag in the description for Live-Timing).

Version 4.00   9/20/07

  • Added a much simpler method to Update Licenses. May only be used to Update Key(s) if online but removes all the hassle of dealing with Key Codes while still taking secure payment (you'll be directed to a web page to take payment).
  • Default path for files (races) changed to be more consistent with Windows. Previously the default was always C:\My Documents, now it defaults to the user's "My Documents" folder (which is a different folder), and through Edit | Options may be changed to any folder you select. The location of this folder is stored in the registry.
  • New installation utility used.
  • New Key driver added to installation process. Driver supports Windows Vista.
  • Driver is now automatically installed whenever the software is installed.
  • If installation prompts come up when Key is attached the 'install automatically' option should be taken.
  • 'Install Driver' option removed from menu since no longer needed.
  • 8/28/07 ver 3.08, rev 4 : Improvements to Differential Timing. Now can enter more than one pairing. Once a bib is entered a 'next' row of bibs may be entered. Tab moves between current pairing, up/down arrow moves between pairings.
  • Corrected a problem with report caused by changing to manage times larger than 1 hour. Now a time larger than 1 hour is listed without hundredths.
  • 5/1/07 ver 3.08, rev 3 : Partial revision since has some features for XC/MTB/Running but not enough...
  • Added XC Timing screen. Same features as used in Nat/FIS Software.
  • Added XC/MTB/Running as an option in header.
  • Added up to 10 intermediates. This is designed for XC/MTB/Running use and not planned to be functional for Alpine at the moment.

  • Added Import and Export for Assigned Start, Start TOD, Finish TOD, and TOD for Intermediates.
  • Added options to 'Other' menu to set Assigned Start Times and to Copy Assigned Start to Actual Start.
  • Increased maximum number of competitors from 3000 to 5000.
  • Corrected a problem where computer's default date separator would cause an error when reading data files created from other computers which used a different date separator.
  • Optimized data file storage slightly by only saving time data when non zero.
  • 11/1/06 ver 3.08, rev 2 : Added display board TAG Heuer HL 980 Alphanumeric. When selected gives an option to select display format (currently just one option) and display intensity (brightness).
  • Corrected sorting for user defined team scoring with average points. Previously sorting by total points instead of average.

Version 3.08   9/12/06

Version 3.06   3/23/06   (not publicly released)

  • Corrected timing option of 'Swap with Finisher' when called for someone on course (single and dual timing)
  • Differential times to Alge scoreboard - times now moved left by a digit to include 1/1000ths and 'r' or 'b' will display in minutes digit if differential time is less than 10 seconds
  • Improved course information to log for differential timing
  • ALGE TIMY - changed logic slightly so filters out elapsed time if using in certain modes

Version 3.05   12/18/05
