Snow Conditions force Cancelation of Grouse Tyee Kinder Teck K1 SL race

by Keven Dubinsky | Jan 25, 2010 | Member News

The Grouse Tyee Kinder Teck K1 SL scheduled for next weekend (January 30-31) has been canceled. Despite a huge effort from Grouse Mountain Resorts who have done an unbelievable job maintaining the little snow that they have been given, there will not be enough coverage to run a proper race.

We hope to run a K1 race for the racers not attend the BC Winter Games on March 6th & 7th along side our E2’s in the 2nd annual Tyee Cup.

Split Second Software releases a new add-on product for races: The Toolbox

by Keven Dubinsky | Jan 19, 2010 | Member News

This is a new companion product that could be thought of as an intelligent announcer monitor. Features of the Toolbox include:

It runs on a separate computer, or computers, while communicating instantly with the latest National/FIS software via a LAN (local area network).
It could be on a computer right next to the person timing, or at the other end of a corporate network.
It could be used for an announcer, as information screen, set up with a projector in a base lodge, or even broadcast on a resort wide TV system.
No matter what the timing operator is doing in the National/FIS software, the Toolbox operator can look at timing data, competitor lists (sorted as they choose), detailed competitor information, or information about the race.
Sorting options include an Automatic sort feature which will sort by name, bib number, start number, 1st run result, or combined result, depending on which data is set.
Software requires a key and license, but may be tested without a key and license if an internet connection is available.

More information and downloads are available through the Split Second website at: http://splitsecond.com/
