3.3.2 Start Procedure for 2
The start procedure for 3., 4. and all further heats are carried out the same way as the 2. Menu 53 has

For the 2. heat the following is shown during activation process:
Start order:
BIBO WITHOUT GROUPS
Continue: ENTER
Select the start order with <F1>, <F2> or <F3>.
− Start number:
The start order works just as the 1. heat, depending on settings of start number stepping.
− Bibo without groups:
The Bibo rule originates from alpine skiing: For competitions with two or more heats, the start order is
set according to the ranking of the first (previous) heat, except for a certain number of competitors.
Rank 15 starts first
−
− Rank 14 starts second
ect.
−
− Rank 1 starts fifteenth
− Rank 16 starts sixteenth
Rank 17 starts seventeenth
−

regulation is 15.
Bibo with groups:
−
The number of competitors to be inverted can be entered for every group separately. The pre-set value
is 15. Basis for the Bibo rule is the group ranking of the first (previous) heat.
For example: three groups have been entered
Invert:
Save with: ENTER
ATTENTION: „Bibo with groups" only works for the 2. (next) heat if groups is set for the 1. heat; start
number stepping has to be set to upwards.
3.3.3

Group Start

Every group starts jointly with one start time. For the group start, groups should be entered. Enter the
groups either after turning on in the activation menu or later in the main menu (menu 23: groups).
With no groups, the first start is valid for start numbers 1 to 9999.
Start times cannot be cleared with <CLEAR> of the start keypad as then all start times of the group are
cleared. Corrections of the start time are executed with <MENU> and <INPUT> of the start keypad for
the complete group.
3.3.4

Mass Start

All competitors start with the same start time (numbers 0001 to 9999). It is recommended to work with
"ABSOLUTE TIMING" for mass starts with many competitors. In this way per competitor only one time
is saved (no intermediate times). You cannot clear any start time with <CLEAR> as then all start times
would be cleared. Correction of the start time can be executed with <INPUT> (start keypad).
