Step 2 - Before Race |
Send in your racer names
Create a spreadsheet with the following information, then save the spreadsheet as a CSV file (Comma separated file) and email to:
| Last Name | First Name | Group | Sub Group | Car# | Car Name | Passed Inspection |
| Doe | John | Main | Webelos | 22 | Lucky | Yes |
and rename to: <RaceDate>-<Pack>.csv
Example: 02-21-09-Pack-123.CSV
Description of columns:
Group - Group the cars so they can race against each other in Round 1.
Sub Group - This allows you to figure out the placement of a cluster of racers from the larger Group. For instance, you may have awards for each Den. In this case, you would have sub groups for each Den. After the race is over, we can show placement by the subgroup and by the main group.
Car# - These MUST be numbers, no letters or leading zero's. You must ensure that the car numbers are not reused or the software will assign the next available number.
Car Name - Please don't make these too long, they will be hard to read on the projector.
Passed Inspection - This is a Yes or No (Y or N would do) answer. If you performed inspection of the cars and have already verified this, then they should all be Yes. This is something that can be done on race day. Car's must pass inspection before they can race.
