New Split Second Software update includes the Kinder Kombi Discipline

New Split Second Software update includes the Kinder Kombi Discipline

An important new update for Split Second was made available yesterday and is the first version to include the Kinder Kombi discipline.  For people who already have it installed the system should automatically prompt you to update.

Full changes include:

  • Added Kinder Kombi. This includes new fields for KK penalty, points and will pull KK points from the Canadian points list (KK points aren’t in the USSA points list [yet]).
  • Corrected logic for selecting officials because it could get in a situation where they could no longer be selected.
  • Added more space to the National race code to accommodate lengthened codes by Canada.
  • For Canadian codex: if ‘NAT’ is entered as part of the code the ‘NAT’ prefix won’t be added when creating the XML.

Split Second software is available at: http://www.splitsecond.com/
