Aberdeen tides for 2018
Aberdeen tides for 2018
In Aberdeen, we have used the 'Regatta' software for several years to set up and run our regattas.
This was produced by Mark Pollard (many thanks, whoever you are!) and is licensed for freeware distribution.
It only works for two-lane racing and is a bit
clunky; pop-up boxes do not always resize correctly resulting in 'OK'
buttons being out of sight at foot of the box.
However ... it is a superb program for allocating
times to races to avoid clashing when competitors have entered multiple races.
Downloading it can be difficult as it is run from an *exe file and this is routinely blocked by all mal-ware filters.
To get it, you will
require to download the zip file below and extract the files into a single
folder - you then simply click on the
regatta.exe
file to run the program.
The folder contains a
regatta.html
file which contains instructions from Mark.
I have attached additional instructions for using
the software - particularly if you use MyEventz to accept regatta entries.
This applies to events in Scotland as England uses
the OARA system for making entries.
Below, you can also download some sample files
from the 2014 North East Regatta in Aberdeen.
The *.rgf files are data files produced after we ran
the draw on Saturday and Sunday. You can load these into the Regatta
program.
The *csv file is an anonymised version of the file
that I downloaded from MyEventz - you can use this to practice importing data
into a new regatta.
Any questions or problems - please email me.

To download: right click each file name in turn and then choose 'Download' or 'Save target as' - you will probably get a security warning from your mal-ware filter.
