This topic is specific to Technical Officers running Start from Zero Finals using Orion and Athena.
Requirements
•8 or more Athena firing points.
•At least 1 MM100. Additional MM100s are required for each equipment based Final. For example, if you are running a Sporter and a Precision Final at the same time, you need two MM100s.
•Make sure your Orion and Athena software is up to date.
Configuring the Firing Points
1.Decide which eight contiguous firing points will be used in your Final. A Best Practice is to use an additional two firing points, on either side, as hospital points.
2.Disable any non-used firing points. By Disabling unused firing points, Range Control will not try and use them.
a.Open the Athena Maintenance form by clicking the Athena Maintenance form button.
b.Select the firing points you will not be using in your Final.
c.Click on Maintenance -> Enable / Disable -> Disable.
d.Click on Close.
3.Perform all Daily and Before each Relay During a Competition Maintenance on your firing points.
4.Now really do step number 3, as we're not kidding, its important to maintain your EST equipment.
Creating a Start from Zero Finals Match
Follow the instructions for creating a Start from Zero Finals Match.
Do not turn off Score Projection in Match Properties. This is a vital tool to help engage spectators.
Configuring the MM100s
After creating the Final match and adding your competitors, open the Range Control tab.
1.Double click a Spectator Display, on the bottom half of the Range Control tab, to open the Spectator Display Form.
2.Assign eight firing points to the Display, no more, no less. Hospital firing points need not be assigned (unless needed).
Eight shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be eight. Nine shalt thou not count, neither count thou seven, excepting that thou then proceed to eight.
3.Under Current Event Assignment select AthenaDefaultAssignments.json.
Customers may alternatively use their own Event Assignment file, however Scopos has optimized and recommends AthenaDefaultAssignment for Start from Zero Finals.
4.Under Result List to use as Athlete Ranking select the Result List specific to the equipment class, such as "Individual - Precision." Only choose "Individual - All" if your Final does not have an equipment class. Do not choose NONE, if you do, Remarks will not be calculated.
5.Under Result List to Show select the Result List specific to the equipment class, such as "Individual - Precision." Only choose "Individual - All" if your Final does not have an equipment class.
6.Click Save. Then repeat for the remaining Spectator Displays.
Preparing the Final for Athletes and Spectators
1.If you have not done so already, type in each athlete's Organization and Qualification score into the Match Competitors tab. As this information will appear to spectators during the Final introduction and conduct.
2.Push out the Final to the firing points, by clicking the Send Relays to Firing Points button.
a.On the Send Relay Form select Include as Hospital Points under How should empty firing points be handled.
b.Click on Start or Restart Relay, and then Send next Relay 1 to Athena.
Conducting the Final -- With Your Range Officer and Commentator
Conducting a Final is similar to conducting a qualification course of fire.
•Click the Next Command button to advance through the range commands.
•Range commands that start and end with dashes, e.g. "-- Finalist Introduction --" means the commentator should speak freely (and professionally) on this subject.
•Commands that end in "..." means the next command should be issued immediately (after a 3 second pause).
•When an athlete reaches a "Stop" segment (e.g. "Standing One Stop") they have fired the expected number of shots in that segment.
•After a "STOP ..." range command, advance to the "-- Commentary --" range command as quickly as possible. This will update the remarks and rankings on the Spectator Displays.
