Occasionally it becomes necessary to move an athlete from their existing firing point to a new firing point during a competition. This may be due to the Target or Monitor needing a repair that can't be done during the competition. To do this, the athlete should be moved to a designated Hospital Firing Point. It is not possible to move an athlete to a different firing point, on the same relay, that is not a designated Hospital Point.
Moving an Athlete to a Hospital Firing Point
When moving an athlete to a new firing point, all Targets and Monitors must be turned on.
If a Firing Point goes down during a competition, take the following steps to move the athlete on that firing point to a Hospital Firing Point.
1.First try and determine if the firing point went down due to a mechanical (e.g. tape feed got stuck), electrical (e.g. power went out), or system software (e.g. Target becomes unresponsive). failure. Take all reasonable steps to repair the firing point, but do so without disturbing other athletes who are currently shooting.
2.If it is not possible to repair the firing point, physically move the athlete to a designated Hospital Firing Point.
3.In Orion's Match Competitor tab, assign the affected athlete to a Hospital Firing Point. Do so by changing the value in the Firing Point column.
In the event the athlete is moved to a firing point with an athlete already assigned, the cell will turn red.
4.To move the athlete within Athena, along with any shots the athlete already fired, click the Send Relay to Athena button. Then select the Update Current Relay button.
5.Most rulebooks will grant extra time to the affected athlete and extra sighters. Check your rulebook for specifics.
a.To grant extra sighters to the affected athlete, in Range Control, right click on the firing point, and change the athlete's segment to the "Extra Sighter" segment.
Not all range scripts in all rulebooks have an Extra Sighter option. If they do not, the range officer will have to track sighters and manually delete them from Orion.
b.Additional time will have to be tracked manually by the Range Officer.
Moving an Athlete when No Hospital Firing Points are Available
If no Hospital Firing Points are available, the athlete will have to be moved to a later relay where an open firing point is available.
