BACK Score Teams

Helper teams are groups of pilots that are helping each other during the competition. Therefore it is not smart to have members of one team flying in the same slot. (See:

Some thoughts about creating the matrix). The information entered in this screen will be used while building the flight matrix.

For small competitions however, the use of the Helper teams information will cause problems in building a correct matrix. The rule of dump is to keep the size of the helper teams at least one smaller as the number of slots. Therefore a warning will be visible below the selected team members. As can be seen in the screen below.

The screen layout and look-and-feel is the same as the Score-Team screen (this can be confusing in the beginning)

On the top-right you will see the selected Team-Nr. First select the team-nr to which a pilot must be added. Then a pilot can be selected in the list on the left (using double-click or Add). The pilot will disappear from the list on the left and is now visible on the right.

Below the list on the left there are two possible ways of showing the pilots.

· Show not placed pilots. This is the default and will show only the pilots that are not assigned to a team.

· Show all pilots. This will show all pilots. The column ‘Team’ will now show the team number a certain pilot is assigned to. This makes it easy to find the team a pilot is assigned to.

When all pilots are assigned to a score team, and the option ‘Show not placed pilots’ is selected the list on the left will be empty.

Between the two lists there are two radio buttons that can be used to select the order in which the pilots are shown.

REMARK: The software does not limit the number of pilots in a helper team. But keep in mind that helper teams that are larger then the number of slots will cause an unfair competition because team members will never fly to each other.
