[[Category:Autocross]]
== Normal Work Assignments ==
These work assignments are assigned randomly by the [[Worker_Assignments - Autocross#Chief of Workers|Chief of Workers]], and the number of each one varies based on the number of heats and the participant count of the event.

-----

=== Announcer ===
The person working this assignment sits in the timing trailer and uses the club PA (public address) system to talk about the competition going on in that heat, and if any sort of announcement needs to be made to the paddock / grid area as a whole.

This is an optional position, and may not be assigned for heats / events with a smaller number of workers.

'''Number of positions:'''
* One per heat.
'''Responsibilities:'''
* Use the PA system to give running commentary on the heat. This can include the following, but announcers all have their own style:
** Talk about who in the class that is currently on track is leading the class, position changes based on new times put down in class standings, etc.
** Additional info about the cars and drivers involved in the heat that may be interesting.
** Informing the grid / paddock regarding delays, etc.
* Use the PA system to make any announcements needed, either by Control or by someone who is relaying the announcement request through the Control position.
'''Requirements:'''
* Comfort in talking to people using a microphone.
* The ability to use the Pronto "[[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAnnounce|TSAnnounce]]" module running on one of the timing laptops, which shows the Announcer useful information about the cars / classes currently on the course.

-----

=== Course Chalking ===
The person working this assignment does their work prior to the start of the first heat, and is responsible for putting the "chalk" outlines around all of the cones on the course. This is important, as this is how corner workers know precisely where cones need to be reset to after behind hit or otherwise moved.

'''Number of positions:'''
* One per event day.
'''Responsibilities:'''
* Use chunks of drywall to mark the boxes around all upright cones on the course, and "V's" around each pointer cone on the course. This includes all of the cones before the starting light beam, and all cones in the runoff after the finish line.
* If time allows, use the "flour dispenser" to create "chalk" lines on either side of the course.
'''Requirements:'''
* The ability to bend over many times to mark all of the cones.
* The ability to walk and pull the dispenser behind them to make the chalk lines.

-----

=== Course ===
There are two different "Course" work assignment types; "Corner Captain" and "Corner Worker".
==== Course - Corner Captain ====
(To be completed.)
==== Course - Corner Worker ====
The people working this assignment stand out on course during the heats within the "zone" that their corner number is responsible for. Their job is to be first and foremost always mindful of the cars around them, but also to keep an eye on the cones that the cars may hit. If one does get hit, it is the closest corner worker's responsibility to run as quickly as possible to reset the cone back to its original position. The corner worker must communicate with the corner captain to make sure that penalties (cones, DNFs, etc.) get called in, or if a nudged cone is actually safe.

'''Number of positions:'''
* Average of 2-4 per corner, per heat.
* Minimum of one per corner, per heat.

# One all information is supplied, click the "OK" button.
# The event has now been created and saved. Pronto can be closed, or if registration on the event has closed the next steps can be done to export the data out of MSR.

===== '''Generate the MSR export''' =====
(After registration is closed)
# Go to the [https://www.motorsportreg.com/em360/ MotorsportReg EventMaster Dashboard].
# Click on "Events" on the left.
# Click on the "registrations" link for the event that needs to be created in Pronto.
# Click on "Reports" in the bar of options at the top (NOT the left).
# Within "My Saved Reports" click on "Pronto Export".
# Click the blue "Export" button, select "Comma-separated values (CSV)", and click the red "Export Report" button.
# The file should automatically download to your browser's default location for downloads.

===== '''Importing the data exported from the MSR event into the Pronto event''' =====
# If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
# In the menu bar select "File > Import".
# On the "Import Data" window leave all options at their default and click the "Select" button.
# Find the file that was exported from MSR (usually found in the "Downloads" directory) and double click it.
# Scroll through the list in the lower portion of the window and make sure no errors are present. If there are, note them down (you can copy and paste the errors into a Word document) and then handle them as part of "Handling Errors" below.
# Click the "Close" button.
# '''Handling Errors'''
## Unclassed Driver: Look at their registration on MSR, figure out what their class should be, and update their entry in Pronto to belong to that class.
## Duplicate Number: Try and figure out why. It could be two people wanting to drive the same car (compare the two "same numbers" and see if they are driving the same car). Either way, adjust one of the two driver's car number to be any other available number for the class.

===== '''Balance the Novice classes into NOV and NOV2''' =====
# Take half of the drivers in NOV and move them into NOV2. To do so:
## Double-click on their entry, change the class dropdown to "NOV2", and click Ok.
## Make sure to keep both entries of any two-driver vehicles in the same Novice class (so either both in NOV, or both in NOV2).

===== '''Set up the heats''' =====
(Can only be done after the MSR data is imported into the Pronto event)
# If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
# Click the "Edit Event Info..." button.
# On the "Event Information" window click the "Heats" tab.
# On the right side, for "# Heats" supply the number of heats for each day of the event.
## Very generally speaking, less than 120 drivers should be two heats, and 120 or more should be three heats.
# On the right side, click on the "Automate Run/Work Order" button to automatically balance the heats based on driver count. Read the warning and then click the "Yes" button.
# '''Rebalancing:'''
## For all rebalancing that needs to occur, it is best to move them from their "RUN" heat column. This is done by finding a class in their heat column, clicking and holding the left mouse button on the class, dragging them to another heat, and then releasing the left mouse button.
## Novice Classes:
### For two heats, make sure that NOV is in heat 1, and NOV2 is in heat 2.
### For three heats, make sure that NOV is in heat 2, and NOV2 is in heat 3.
## Spot check for any known overlap between cars in NOV or LDY classes versus ones that could well also be in one of the open classes.
### If so, the two classes where that vehicle is used need to be in different heats.
## Check for "non-heat" workers (gate workers, fence setup, solo team), note what class they are in, note what heats that class in is, and balance these workers between all heats.
### This tries to ensure that we don't get these workers all assigned to the same heat, reducing the amount of workers who actually work that heat.
## On the right click on the "Update Work Order From Run Order" button to set up the "WORK" columns accordingly.
# Once complete, click the "OK" button.

===== '''Set up the grid''' =====
(Can only be done after the heats are set up)
# '''Notes on Grid ordering:'''
## Note that the order shows each class twice; once for first drivers (-100) and once for second drivers (100+).
## As you make changes for the first drivers grid ordering, make those same changes for the second driver grid ordering. It's unknown if this actually matters, however, as in theory only the "first driver" grid spot matters and is used by both drivers.
## If a Novice class (NOV / NOV2) is participating in the heat, put it at the top of the grid.

# If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
# In the menu bar select "Print > Grid Run Order".
# Check that "Heat: 1" shows at the top, and click the "Automate" button. Read the warning and then click the "Yes" button.
# The classes that were previously in the lower part of the window should now all appear in the upper window.
# Perform the manual grid ordering steps as detailed previously.
# Click the ">" button in the upper right.
# Check that "Heat: 2" shows at the top, and click the "Automate" button and then "Yes" button again. The classes that were previously in the lower part of the window should now all appear in the upper window.
# Perform the manual grid ordering steps as detailed previously.
##. If needed, repeat this process for any additional "normal" heats.
# When done, click the "OK" button.

===== '''Get the information to the Chief of Workers''' =====
# Non-Heat Workers:
## Send over your notes that you took when setting up the heat rebalancing to the [[Worker_Assignments - Autocross#Chief of Workers|Chief of Workers]].
# Grid sheets:
## If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
## In the menu bar select "Print > Grid".
## Check that the "Class Order" is set to "Run Heat: 1" and click the "Print" button.
## On the screen that appears click the "Print" button near the top. Select the printer that allows to save to PDF, click the "OK" button, and save the file to the location of your choice.
## Close the grid window.
## Repeat steps 2 through 5, selecting "Run Heat: 2" in Step 3 by using the arrows next to it to increment the heat number up. If there are three heats, do it again for "Run Heat: 3".
## Send the PDF files to the [[Worker_Assignments - Autocross#Chief of Workers|Chief of Workers]].

===== '''Upload the event files to the NRSCCA Timing OneDrive''' =====
# Close out of all Pronto modules (TSAdmin, etc) to ensure that all files are saved.
# [https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/signin/ Log into OneDrive].
## Username: (Ask a board member)
## Password: (Ask a board member)
# Click the folder icon on the left.
# Click on the "Uploads" directory that is now listed in the middle of the page.
# Drag all files for the event into the directory. This includes:
## Pronto files named after the event you created containing the name (example: AX 20200927 Solo7.*) such as:
### AX 20200927 Solo7.TMR
### AX 20200927 Solo7.DLG
### AX 20200927 Solo7.ELG (Note: ELG files doesn't always exist right away for an event.)
## Event Documents:
### Work assignment sheets
### Grid sheets

===== '''(DAY OF) Move the event files into the timing laptops''' =====
# Power on the Timing01 laptop, log in, and connect it to a wired Ethernet connection.
# Power on the MiFi device velcroed to the trailer wall (if it isn't already on) by holding it's power button.
# OneDrive on the Timing01 laptop should automatically detect a connection to the internet, and pull down any files that it needs to including what has been placed in the Uploads folder.
# Once the event files appear in the "OneDrive>Uploads" folder on the laptop, move (or cut & paste) them into the appropriate directories
## Pronto files: C:\ProntoData
## Work Assignment Sheets: OneDrive>Documents>Work Assignments
## Grid Sheets: OneDrive>Documents>Grid Sheets
# Once moved, all Pronto modules on Timing01 can use them (TSAdmin, TSLive, etc.). The directory is shared off of that laptop, so that the TSAnnounce modules as (can be) ran on Timing02 and Timing03 will be able to access them as well.

How to create a new Pronto event (Autocross)

2024-04-19T00:54:53Z

Tmitera: Added a step to close Pronto.

[[Category:Pronto]][[Category:Autocross]]
===== '''Create the event in Pronto''' =====
(Can be done at any point, even before registration closes on the event)
# Open [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]].
# In the menu bar select "File > New Event".
# For the event type, select "AutoX (Full Classes)" and click the "OK" button.
# At the "Save As" prompt, provide a name similar to the other names that have been used (such as "AX 20200927 Solo7"), and save the file in the same directory as the other Pronto files.
# On the "Event Information" window, provide the following information:
## Event Name: On the first line it should say "Nebraska Region SCCA". On the next line it should have the event name, such as "Solo 7".
## Event Dates: Type out the date of the event, such as "September 27th 2020".
## # Run Days: Only needed to be changed if this event runs across more than one day, and should be changed to the number of days.
## # Runs/Day: Only needed to be changed if this event runs across more than one day, and should be set to the number of runs per day.
## All other options to be left at their defaults.
# One all information is supplied, click the "OK" button.
# The event has now been created and saved. Pronto can be closed, or if registration on the event has closed the next steps can be done to export the data out of MSR.

===== '''Generate the MSR export''' =====

# Go to the [https://www.motorsportreg.com/em360/ MotorsportReg EventMaster Dashboard].
# Click on "Events" on the left.
# Click on the "registrations" link for the event that needs to be created in Pronto.
# Click on "Reports" in the bar of options at the top (NOT the left).
# Within "My Saved Reports" click on "Pronto Export".
# Click the blue "Export" button, select "Comma-separated values (CSV)", and click the red "Export Report" button.
# The file should automatically download to your browser's default location for downloads.
===== '''Importing the data exported from the MSR event into the Pronto event''' =====
# If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
# In the menu bar select "File > Import".
# On the "Import Data" window leave all options at their default and click the "Select" button.
# Find the file that was exported from MSR (usually found in the "Downloads" directory) and double click it.
# Scroll through the list in the lower portion of the window and make sure no errors are present. If there are, note them down.
# Click the "Close" button.
# '''Course Designer'''
## Find who the course designer for the event is. Expand "Other" and double click on the "CRS" (Course Designer) class. For this entry set the car number to 99, put their first and last name in the boxes below, and click the "Save, Return" button.
# '''Handling Errors'''
## Unclassed Driver: Look at their registration on MSR, figure out what their class should be, and update their entry in Pronto to belong to that class.
## Duplicate Number: Try and figure out why. It could be two people wanting to drive the same car (compare the two "same numbers" and see if they are driving the same car). Either way, adjust one of the two driver's car number to be any other available number for the class.

# '''Course Designer:'''
## Move the course designer (99 CRS) into the heat *after* what would otherwise be the final heat of the day, in both the "RUN" and "WORK" sections.
### If there are two heats, move them to heat 3. If there are three heats, move them to heat 4.
### This is because technically they are not in any particular heat. They can run whenever they want, in any car they want, and just have to tell the Starter when they reach the line that "This is the course designer. I am 99 CRS." and have Starter relay that information to Control / Timing.
# Once complete, click the "OK" button.

Tmitera: First draft

[[Category:Autocross]][[Category:Rallycross]]
== '''Driver's Meeting Notes''' ==
This is meant to be a checklist for the types of topics that are either required or encouraged to cover as part of the driver's meeting at the start of the event. These items are in no particular order otherwise, although you may want to do the "Welcome" part at the start.

===Required Topics===
* Welcome
** Thank everyone for coming
* Safety
* Number of heats / runs
* Worker Assignment / Grid Sheets

===Recommended Topics===
* Upcoming events (within the couple months or so)
** Consider mentioning all regional types, such as Solo, Rallycross, and Time Trials
** Provide their dates and how they can be signed up for
** Also consider mentioning events that happen locally such as MiDiv, Spring / Fall Nats, etc.

How to create a new Pronto event (Autocross)

2024-03-21T22:42:31Z

Tmitera: Minor updates

[[Category:Pronto]][[Category:Autocross]]
===== '''Create the event in Pronto''' =====
(Can be done at any point, even before registration closes on the event)
# Open [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]].
# In the menu bar select "File > New Event".
# For the event type, select "AutoX (Full Classes)" and click the "OK" button.
# At the "Save As" prompt, provide a name similar to the other names that have been used (such as "AX 20200927 Solo7"), and save the file in the same directory as the other Pronto files.
# On the "Event Information" window, provide the following information:
## Event Name: On the first line it should say "Nebraska Region SCCA". On the next line it should have the event name, such as "Solo 7".
## Event Dates: Type out the date of the event, such as "September 27th 2020".
## # Run Days: Only needed to be changed if this event runs across more than one day, and should be changed to the number of days.
## # Runs/Day: Only needed to be changed if this event runs across more than one day, and should be set to the number of runs per day.
## All other options to be left at their defaults.
# One all information is supplied, click the "OK" button.
# The event has now been created and saved. Pronto can be closed, or if registration on the event has closed the next steps can be done to export the data out of MSR.
===== '''Generate the MSR export''' =====
(After registration is closed)
# Go to the [https://www.motorsportreg.com/em360/ MotorsportReg EventMaster Dashboard].
# Click on "Events" on the left.
# Click on the "registrations" link for the event that needs to be created in Pronto.
# Click on "Reports" in the bar of options at the top (NOT the left).
# Within "My Saved Reports" click on "Pronto Export".
# Click the blue "Export" button, select "Comma-separated values (CSV)", and click the red "Export Report" button.
# The file should automatically download to your browser's default location for downloads.
===== '''Importing the data exported from the MSR event into the Pronto event''' =====
# If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
# In the menu bar select "File > Import".
# On the "Import Data" window leave all options at their default and click the "Select" button.
# Find the file that was exported from MSR (usually found in the "Downloads" directory) and double click it.
# Scroll through the list in the lower portion of the window and make sure no errors are present. If there are, note them down.
# Click the "Close" button.
# '''Course Designer'''
## Find who the course designer for the event is. Expand "Other" and double click on the "CRS" (Course Designer) class. For this entry set the car number to 99, put their first and last name in the boxes below, and click the "Save, Return" button.
# '''Handling Errors'''
## Unclassed Driver: Look at their registration on MSR, figure out what their class should be, and update their entry in Pronto to belong to that class.
## Duplicate Number: Try and figure out why. It could be two people wanting to drive the same car (compare the two "same numbers" and see if they are driving the same car). Either way, adjust one of the two driver's car number to be any other available number for the class.
===== '''Balance the Novice classes into NOV and NOV2''' =====
# Take half of the drivers in NOV and move them into NOV2. To do so:
## Double-click on their entry, change the class dropdown to "NOV2", and click Ok.
## Make sure to keep both entries of any two-driver vehicles in the same Novice class (so either both in NOV, or both in NOV2).
===== '''Set up the heats''' =====
(Can only be done after the MSR data is imported into the Pronto event)
# If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
# Click the "Edit Event Info..." button.
# On the "Event Information" window click the "Heats" tab.
# On the right side, for "# Heats" supply the number of heats for each day of the event.
## Very generally speaking, less than 120 drivers should be two heats, and 120 or more should be three heats.
# On the right side, click on the "Automate Run/Work Order" button to automatically balance the heats based on driver count. Read the warning and then click the "Yes" button.
# '''Rebalancing:'''
## For all rebalancing that needs to occur, it is best to move them from their "RUN" heat column. This is done by finding a class in their heat column, clicking and holding the left mouse button on the class, dragging them to another heat, and then releasing the left mouse button.
## Novice Classes:
### For two heats, make sure that NOV is in heat 1, and NOV2 is in heat 2.
### For three heats, make sure that NOV is in heat 2, and NOV2 is in heat 3.
## Spot check for any known overlap between cars in NOV or LDY classes versus ones that could well also be in one of the open classes.
### If so, the two classes where that vehicle is used need to be in different heats.
## Check for "non-heat" workers (gate workers, fence setup, solo team), note what class they are in, note what heats that class in is, and balance these workers between all heats.
### This tries to ensure that we don't get these workers all assigned to the same heat, reducing the amount of workers who actually work that heat.
## On the right click on the "Update Work Order From Run Order" button to set up the "WORK" columns accordingly.
# '''Course Designer:'''
## Move the course designer (99 CRS) into the heat *after* what would otherwise be the final heat of the day, in both the "RUN" and "WORK" sections.
### If there are two heats, move them to heat 3. If there are three heats, move them to heat 4.
### This is because technically they are not in any particular heat. They can run whenever they want, in any car they want, and just have to tell the Starter when they reach the line that "This is the course designer. I am 99 CRS." and have Starter relay that information to Control / Timing.
# Once complete, click the "OK" button.

===== '''Set up the grid''' =====
(Can only be done after the heats are set up)
# If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
# In the menu bar select "Print > Grid Run Order".
# '''Notes on Grid ordering:'''
## Note that the order shows each class twice; once for first drivers (-100) and once for second drivers (100+).
### As you make changes for the first drivers grid ordering, make those same changes for the second driver grid ordering. It's unknown if this actually matters, however, as in theory only the "first driver" grid spot matters and is used by both drivers.
## (Instructions need to go here for how to find how many classes have two drivers and how many, and to clump them into the "middle" of the grid)
## If a Novice class (NOV / NOV2) is participating in the heat, put it at the top of the grid.
# Check that "Heat: 1" shows at the top, and click the "Automate" button. Read the warning and then click the "Yes" button.
# The classes that were previously in the lower part of the window should now all appear in the upper window.
# Perform the manual grid ordering steps as detailed previously.
# Click the ">" button in the upper right.
# Check that "Heat: 2" shows at the top, and click the "Automate" button and then "Yes" button again. The classes that were previously in the lower part of the window should now all appear in the upper window.
# Perform the manual grid ordering steps as detailed previously.
##. If needed, repeat this process for any additional "normal" heats. '''Do not do this for the "CRS" heat.'''
# When done, click the "OK" button.
===== '''Get the information to the Chief of Workers''' =====
# Non-Heat Workers:
## Send over your notes that you took when setting up the heat rebalancing to the [[Worker_Assignments - Autocross#Chief of Workers|Chief of Workers]].
# Grid sheets:
## If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
## In the menu bar select "Print > Grid".
## Check that the "Class Order" is set to "Run Heat: 1" and click the "Print" button.
## On the screen that appears click the "Print" button near the top. Select the printer that allows to save to PDF, click the "OK" button, and save the file to the location of your choice.
## Close the grid window.
## Repeat steps 2 through 5, selecting "Run Heat: 2" in Step 3 by using the arrows next to it to increment the heat number up. If there are three heats, do it again for "Run Heat: 3". '''Do not do this for the "CRS" heat.'''
## Send the PDF files to the [[Worker_Assignments - Autocross#Chief of Workers|Chief of Workers]].
===== '''Upload the event files to the NRSCCA Timing OneDrive''' =====
# [https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/signin/ Log into OneDrive].
## Username: (Ask a board member)
## Password: (Ask a board member)
# Click on the "Uploads" directory.
# Drag all files for the event into the directory. This includes:
## Pronto files named after the event you created containing the name (example: AX 20200927 Solo7.*) such as:
### AX 20200927 Solo7.TMR
### AX 20200927 Solo7.DLG
### AX 20200927 Solo7.ELG (Note: ELG files doesn't always exist right away for an event.)
## Event Documents:
### Work assignment sheets
### Grid sheets
===== '''(DAY OF) Move the event files into the timing laptops''' =====
# Power on the Timing01 laptop, log in, and connect it to a wired Ethernet connection.
# Power on the MiFi device velcroed to the trailer wall (if it isn't already on) by holding it's power button.
# OneDrive should automatically detect a connection to the internet, and pull down any files that it needs to.
# Once the event files appear in the "OneDrive>Upload" folder on the laptop, move (or cut & paste) them into the appropriate directories
## Pronto files: C:\ProntoData
## Work Assignment Sheets: OneDrive>Documents>Work Assignments
## Grid Sheets: OneDrive>Documents>Grid Sheets
# Once moved, all Pronto modules on Timing01 can use them (TSAdmin, TSLive, etc.). The directory is shared off of that laptop, so that the TSAnnounce modules as (can be) ran on Timing02 and Timing03 will be able to access them as well.

## Make sure that all CAM classes are in the same heat.
## Check for overlap between open classes versus NOV or LDY classes.
### Basically just manually check any entrants in NOV, NOV2, Ladies, CAMTL, CAMCL, or CAMSL and see if that vehicle is also used in an open class.
### If so, the two classes where that vehicle is used need to be in different heats.

Tmitera:

[[Category:Pronto]][[Category:Autocross]][[Category:Rallycross]]
====== '''TSAdmin''' ======
* Used to:
*# Create / modify event files.
*# Import driver data into event files from MSR export files.
*# Modify driver / car info (class, number, etc.).
*# Print grid sheets / grid run order sheets.
*# Print results (regular, raw, PAX).
====== '''TSAnnounce''' ======
* Used to:
*# Show data useful for the announcer work assignment.
* Notes:
*# Asks to open a file immediately upon opening. This file must be the same event file as the one currently used by the "TSEntry" module.
*# As the announcer laptop is generally separate from the one used to capture timing (aka the "main" laptop), this usually means the main laptop shares the directory where the event files are kept, and the laptop where TSAnnounce is ran on accesses the file via that share.
* Tips:
*# Double*clicking the Pronto logo tells the module to clear out all pending data and pull new data in fresh. This can be useful in the event the module gets "behind" or has other odd issues.
====== '''TSEntry''' ======
* Used to:
*# Take timing signals from the timing gear and input them automatically into the next listed car that has no time.
*# Add / change penalties assigned to runs.
*# Audit the results as compared to the clipboard results.
* Notes:
*# Asks to open a file immediately upon opening. This will be the event file used for the day, and it's data will be used by all other modules.
====== '''TSLive''' ======
* Used to:
*# Take run data and upload them automatically to the configured website's FTP address.
* Notes:
*# Asks to open a file immediately upon opening. This file must be the same event file as the one currently used by the "TSEntry" module.
====== '''TSUpdate''' ======
* Used to:
*# Update all Pronto modules to the latest versions available for our region.
====== '''ProntoID''' ======
* Used to:
*# Show the licensing ID the laptop has for Pronto. Generally only useful when licensing a laptop for the first time with Darrin.
====== '''Pronto Remote Support''' ======
* Used to:
*# Grant Darrin with Pronto remote access to the laptop so that he may directly interact with it. Useful for troubleshooting / support purposes.

[[Category:Pronto]][[Category:Autocross]]
===== '''Create the event in Pronto''' =====
(Can be done at any point, even before registration closes on the event)
# Open [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]].
# In the menu bar select "File > New Event".
# For the event type, select "AutoX (Full Classes)" and click the "OK" button.
# At the "Save As" prompt, provide a name similar to the other names that have been used (such as "AX 20200927 Solo7"), and save the file in the same directory as the other Pronto files.
# On the "Event Information" window, provide the following information:
## Event Name: On the first line it should say "Nebraska Region SCCA". On the next line it should have the event name, such as "Solo 7".
## Event Dates: Type out the date of the event, such as "September 27th 2020".
## # Run Days: Only needed to be changed if this event runs across more than one day, and should be changed to the number of days.
## # Runs/Day: Only needed to be changed if this event runs across more than one day, and should be set to the number of runs per day.
## All other options to be left at their defaults.
# One all information is supplied, click the "OK" button.
# The event has now been created and saved. Pronto can be closed, or if registration on the event has closed the next steps can be done to export the data out of MSR.
===== '''Generate the MSR export''' =====
(After registration is closed)
# Go to the [https://www.motorsportreg.com/em360/ MotorsportReg EventMaster Dashboard].
# Click on "Events" on the left.
# Click on the "registrations" link for the event that needs to be created in Pronto.
# Click on "Reports" in the bar of options at the top (NOT the left).
# Within "My Saved Reports" click on "Pronto Export".
# Click the blue "Export" button, select "Comma-separated values (CSV)", and click the red "Export Report" button.
# The file should automatically download to your browser's default location for downloads.
===== '''Importing the data exported from the MSR event into the Pronto event''' =====
# If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
# In the menu bar select "File > Import".
# On the "Import Data" window leave all options at their default and click the "Select" button.
# Find the file that was exported from MSR (usually found in the "Downloads" directory) and double click it.
# Scroll through the list in the lower portion of the window and make sure no errors are present. If there are, note them down.
# Click the "Close" button.
# '''Course Designer'''
## Find who the course designer for the event is. Expand "Other" and double click on the "CRS" (Course Designer) class. For this entry set the car number to 99, put their first and last name in the boxes below, and click the "Save, Return" button.
# '''Handling Errors'''
## Unclassed Driver: Look at their registration on MSR, figure out what their class should be, and update their entry in Pronto to belong to that class.
## Duplicate Number: Try and figure out why. It could be two people wanting to drive the same car (compare the two "same numbers" and see if they are driving the same car). Either way, adjust one of the two driver's car number to be any other available number for the class.
===== '''Balance the Novice classes into NOV and NOV2''' =====
(Make sure to keep two-driver vehicles in the same Novice class)
===== '''Set up the heats''' =====
(Can only be done after the MSR data is imported into the Pronto event)
# If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
# Click the "Edit Event Info..." button.
# On the "Event Information" window click the "Heats" tab.
# On the right side, for "# Heats" supply the number of heats for each day of the event.
## Very generally speaking, less than 100 drivers should be two heats, and 100 or more should be three heats.
# On the right side, click on the "Automate Run/Work Order" button to automatically balance the heats based on driver count. Read the warning and then click the "Yes" button.
# '''Rebalancing:'''
## For all rebalancing that needs to occur, it is best to move them from their "RUN" heat column. This is done by finding a class in their heat column, clicking and holding the left mouse button on the class, dragging them to another heat, and then releasing the left mouse button.
## For two heats, make sure that NOV is in heat 1, and NOV2 is in heat 2. For three heats, make sure that NOV is in heat 2, and NOV2 is in heat 3.
## Make sure that all CAM classes are in the same heat.
## Check for overlap between open classes versus NOV or LDY classes.
### Basically just manually check any entrants in NOV, NOV2, Ladies, CAMTL, CAMCL, or CAMSL and see if that vehicle is also used in an open class.
### If so, the two classes where that vehicle is used need to be in different heats.
## Check for "non-heat" workers (gate workers, fence setup, solo team), note what class they are in, note what heats that class in is, and balance these workers between all heats.
### This tries to ensure that we don't get these workers all assigned to the same heat, reducing the amount of workers who actually work that heat.
## On the right click on the "Update Work Order From Run Order" button to set up the "WORK" columns accordingly.
# '''Course Designer:'''
## Move the course designer (99 CRS) into the heat *after* what would otherwise be the final heat of the day, in both the "RUN" and "WORK" sections.
### If there are two heats, move them to heat 3. If there are three heats, move them to heat 4.
### This is because technically they are not in any particular heat. They can run whenever they want, in any car they want, and just have to tell the Starter when they reach the line that "This is the course designer. I am 99 CRS." and have Starter relay that information to Control / Timing.
# Once complete, click the "OK" button.
===== '''Set up the grid''' =====
(Can only be done after the heats are set up)
# If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
# In the menu bar select "Print > Grid Run Order".
# '''Notes on Grid ordering:'''
## Note that the order shows each class twice; once for first drivers (-100) and once for second drivers (100+).
### As you make changes for the first drivers grid ordering, make those same changes for the second driver grid ordering. It's unknown if this actually matters, however, as in theory only the "first driver" grid spot matters and is used by both drivers.
## (Instructions need to go here for how to find how many classes have two drivers and how many, and to clump them into the "middle" of the grid)
## As the CAM classes are all in the same heat, move them so that they are next to each other in grid.
## Put NOV / NOV2 at the bottom of the grid.
# Check that "Heat: 1" shows at the top, and click the "Automate" button. Read the warning and then click the "Yes" button.
# The classes that were previously in the lower part of the window should now all appear in the upper window.
# Perform the manual grid ordering steps as detailed previously.
# Click the ">" button in the upper right.
# Check that "Heat: 2" shows at the top, and click the "Automate" button and then "Yes" button again. The classes that were previously in the lower part of the window should now all appear in the upper window.
# Perform the manual grid ordering steps as detailed previously.
##. If needed, repeat this process for any additional "normal" heats. '''Do not do this for the "CRS" heat.'''
# When done, click the "OK" button.
===== '''Get the information to the Chief of Workers''' =====
# Non-Heat Workers:
## Send over your notes that you took when setting up the heat rebalancing to the [[Worker_Assignments - Autocross#Chief of Workers|Chief of Workers]].
# Grid sheets:
## If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
## In the menu bar select "Print > Grid".
## Check that the "Class Order" is set to "Run Heat: 1" and click the "Print" button.
## On the screen that appears click the "Print" button near the top. Select the printer that allows to save to PDF, click the "OK" button, and save the file to the location of your choice.
## Close the grid window.
## Repeat steps 2 through 5, selecting "Run Heat: 2" in Step 3 by using the arrows next to it to increment the heat number up. If there are three heats, do it again for "Run Heat: 3". '''Do not do this for the "CRS" heat.'''
## Send the PDF files to the [[Worker_Assignments - Autocross#Chief of Workers|Chief of Workers]].

## (Instructions need to go here for how to find how many classes have two drivers and how many, and to clump them into the "middle" of the grid)
## As the CAM classes are all in the same heat, move them so that they are next to each other in grid.
## Put NOV / NOV2 at the bottom of the grid.
# Check that "Heat: 1" shows at the top, and click the "Automate" button. Read the warning and then click the "Yes" button.
# The classes that were previously in the lower part of the window should now all appear in the upper window.
# Perform the manual grid ordering steps as detailed previously.
# Click the ">" button in the upper right.
# Check that "Heat: 2" shows at the top, and click the "Automate" button and then "Yes" button again. The classes that were previously in the lower part of the window should now all appear in the upper window.
# Perform the manual grid ordering steps as detailed previously.
##. If needed, repeat this process for any additional "normal" heats. '''Do not do this for the "CRS" heat.'''
# When done, click the "OK" button.
===== '''Get the information to the Chief of Workers''' =====
# Non-Heat Workers:
## Send over your notes that you took when setting up the heat rebalancing to the [[Worker_Assignments - Autocross#Chief of Workers|Chief of Workers]].

How to create a new Pronto event (Autocross)

2022-08-03T01:24:12Z

Tmitera:

[[Category:Pronto]]
===== '''Create the event in Pronto''' =====
(Can be done at any point, even before registration closes on the event)
# Open [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]].
# In the menu bar select "File > New Event".
# For the event type, select "AutoX (Full Classes)" and click the "OK" button.
# At the "Save As" prompt, provide a name similar to the other names that have been used (such as "AX 20200927 Solo7"), and save the file in the same directory as the other Pronto files.
# On the "Event Information" window, provide the following information:
## Event Name: On the first line it should say "Nebraska Region SCCA". On the next line it should have the event name, such as "Solo 7".
## Event Dates: Type out the date of the event, such as "September 27th 2020".
## # Run Days: Only needed to be changed if this event runs across more than one day, and should be changed to the number of days.
## # Runs/Day: Only needed to be changed if this event runs across more than one day, and should be set to the number of runs per day.
## All other options to be left at their defaults.
# One all information is supplied, click the "OK" button.
# The event has now been created and saved. Pronto can be closed, or if registration on the event has closed the next steps can be done to export the data out of MSR.
===== '''Generate the MSR export''' =====
(After registration is closed)
# Go to the [https://www.motorsportreg.com/em360/ MotorsportReg EventMaster Dashboard].
# Click on "Events" on the left.
# Click on the "registrations" link for the event that needs to be created in Pronto.
# Click on "Reports" in the bar of options at the top (NOT the left).
# Within "My Saved Reports" click on "Pronto Export".
# Click the blue "Export" button, select "Comma-separated values (CSV)", and click the red "Export Report" button.
# The file should automatically download to your browser's default location for downloads.
===== '''Importing the data exported from the MSR event into the Pronto event''' =====
# If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
# In the menu bar select "File > Import".
# On the "Import Data" window leave all options at their default and click the "Select" button.
# Find the file that was exported from MSR (usually found in the "Downloads" directory) and double click it.
# Scroll through the list in the lower portion of the window and make sure no errors are present. If there are, note them down.
# Click the "Close" button.
# '''Course Designer'''
## Find who the course designer for the event is. Expand "Other" and double click on the "CRS" (Course Designer) class. For this entry set the car number to 99, put their first and last name in the boxes below, and click the "Save, Return" button.
# '''Handling Errors'''
## Unclassed Driver: Look at their registration on MSR, figure out what their class should be, and update their entry in Pronto to belong to that class.
## Duplicate Number: Try and figure out why. It could be two people wanting to drive the same car (compare the two "same numbers" and see if they are driving the same car). Either way, adjust one of the two driver's car number to be any other available number for the class.
===== '''Balance the Novice classes into NOV and NOV2''' =====
(Make sure to keep two-driver vehicles in the same Novice class)
===== '''Set up the heats''' =====
(Can only be done after the MSR data is imported into the Pronto event)
# If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
# Click the "Edit Event Info..." button.
# On the "Event Information" window click the "Heats" tab.
# On the right side, for "# Heats" supply the number of heats for each day of the event.
## Very generally speaking, less than 100 drivers should be two heats, and 100 or more should be three heats.
# On the right side, click on the "Automate Run/Work Order" button to automatically balance the heats based on driver count. Read the warning and then click the "Yes" button.
# '''Rebalancing:'''
## For all rebalancing that needs to occur, it is best to move them from their "RUN" heat column. This is done by finding a class in their heat column, clicking and holding the left mouse button on the class, dragging them to another heat, and then releasing the left mouse button.
## For two heats, make sure that NOV is in heat 1, and NOV2 is in heat 2. For three heats, make sure that NOV is in heat 2, and NOV2 is in heat 3.
## Make sure that all CAM classes are in the same heat.
## Check for overlap between open classes versus NOV or LDY classes.
### Basically just manually check any entrants in NOV, NOV2, Ladies, CAMTL, CAMCL, or CAMSL and see if that vehicle is also used in an open class.
### If so, the two classes where that vehicle is used need to be in different heats.
## Check for "non-heat" workers (gate workers, fence setup, solo team), note what class they are in, note what heats that class in is, and balance these workers between all heats.
### This tries to ensure that we don't get these workers all assigned to the same heat, reducing the amount of workers who actually work that heat.
## On the right click on the "Update Work Order From Run Order" button to set up the "WORK" columns accordingly.
# '''Course Designer:'''
## Move the course designer (99 CRS) into the heat *after* what would otherwise be the final heat of the day, in both the "RUN" and "WORK" sections.
### If there are two heats, move them to heat 3. If there are three heats, move them to heat 4.
### This is because technically they are not in any particular heat. They can run whenever they want, in any car they want, and just have to tell the Starter when they reach the line that "This is the course designer. I am 99 CRS." and have Starter relay that information to Control / Timing.
# Once complete, click the "OK" button.
===== '''Set up the grid''' =====
(Can only be done after the heats are set up)
# If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
# In the menu bar select "Print > Grid Run Order".
# '''Notes on Grid ordering:'''
## Note that the order shows each class twice; once for first drivers (-100) and once for second drivers (100+).
### As you make changes for the first drivers grid ordering, make those same changes for the second driver grid ordering. It's unknown if this actually matters, however, as in theory only the "first driver" grid spot matters and is used by both drivers.
## (Instructions need to go here for how to find how many classes have two drivers and how many, and to clump them into the "middle" of the grid)
## As the CAM classes are all in the same heat, move them so that they are next to each other in grid.
## Put NOV / NOV2 at the bottom of the grid.
# Check that "Heat: 1" shows at the top, and click the "Automate" button. Read the warning and then click the "Yes" button.
# The classes that were previously in the lower part of the window should now all appear in the upper window.
# Perform the manual grid ordering steps as detailed previously.
# Click the ">" button in the upper right.
# Check that "Heat: 2" shows at the top, and click the "Automate" button and then "Yes" button again. The classes that were previously in the lower part of the window should now all appear in the upper window.
# Perform the manual grid ordering steps as detailed previously.
##. If needed, repeat this process for any additional "normal" heats. '''Do not do this for the "CRS" heat.'''
# When done, click the "OK" button.
===== '''Get the information to the Chief of Workers''' =====
# Non-Heat Workers:
## Send over your notes that you took when setting up the heat rebalancing to the [[Worker_Assignments - Autocross#Chief of Workers|Chief of Workers]].
# Grid sheets:
## If not already open, run [[Explanation_of_Pronto_modules#TSAdmin|TSAdmin]] and open the Pronto event.
