Timetable

1. 1. Review timetable for issues/clashes

Look for the following issues when reviewing the timetable - sufficient K4s available - *see Crew Boats section for the number of available boats. Boats are blocked out for 1 hour* - event spacing between Heats, Finals, next Heats - *ensure min 45 mins, ideally 60 mins between Ability Class/Age Class events, and 90 mins between Selection events* - sufficient time between distance stepdowns - *when stepping down a distance (1000 > 500, 1000 > 200, 500 > 200) keep at least 8 mins between events, particularly for 1000 > 200* - that single finals are marked F, not F1/F2 - possible cross-class clashes, where avoidable, e.g. U18/16 vs A/B

1. Preparing timetable for sign-off before upload

When preparing the timetable for upload, remember to do the following: - Delete all columns to the right of the last populated column of the spreadsheet
- Delete all rows below the last populated column of the spreadsheet
- Replace long hyphens with short hyphens, but not in - R1, - R2, Paddle-Ability - Saturday, Paddle-Ability - Sunday, Canoe A-D - Mixed etc
- Replace , with ; in the CSV file
- Update date format to yyyy-mm-dd - The uploaded file needs to be UTF-8 encoded.

After selecting 'Import timetable / startlist' remember to change event code to correct number in URL, e.g. change from 10 to whatever the competition number is
https://canoesprint.paddleuk.org.uk/import/offline/default/10

Work through each error one by one, generally they relate to a difference between the Event name [Discipline] stated on the upload file compared to the Event name in the system. Correcting the latter allows you to progress. The error codes state the line number on the .csv file.

For non-event entries in the timetable, use the following syntax

;;;;V;2021-09-04;08:00;;;Course Open
;;;;V;2021-09-04;08:15;;;Start Gate Practice at 200m Start
;;;;V;2021-09-04;08:45;;;Course Cleared

Each row needs to be preceded by a 0, i.e. Event number = 0
