Reports

All reports (except the Competition Series report) are available from this menu.
Go to Main Menu → Comp Series → Report to see the Competition Series report.

Preview, Print or Download
Reports can be previewed, printed or downloaded.
They can also be created as .pdf documents using a third party program. I use Bullzip PDF. The free version is very good. Simply select to Print, then select Bullzip PDF from the list of printers.

Publish OnLine
Publish OnLine with a few clicks. This process uploads all of your competition data to the GliderScore server. The data can be viewed by going to this website and clicking the OnLine Scores link. You could do it now. This is the same process as uploading data using the eScoring Menu. The upload must be declared to be 'Public' for the data to be seen.

Draw Reports, those listed on the left hand side, are described under 'Draw Rounds' starting with the 'Check Draw' tab. Click here to see the various draw reports.

Competition Reports are described under various tabs within this 'Reports' page.

Custom Reports are described under the Custom Reports tab within this 'Reports' page.

Upload reports to a website
'Print' the reports to PDF files and upload these files. Search the internet for PDF writers if you do not have one. Free PDF writers are available.

Emailing the draw reports
The downloaded reports are in CSV format and can be read by programs such as MS Excel. This is a good format to use if emailing the draw reports because pilots can choose how they want them formatted for printing.

Alternatively, use the Email Reports facility. This can be used to download and email all available reports at any stage of the competition.

Scoring Screen - Running Results
Use the 'Running Results' button on the Scoring Screen to bring up a menu of the 'Competition Results' reports.
You can preview or print the reports and will return to the Scoring screen when finished.

Report Preferences Screens

Each report allows selection of various preferences as illustrated here. Available preferences will depend on the parameters of the particular competition and the type of report.

Reports - Overall Results Options

Report Scope

This report can be run for 'All' or any combination of 'Country', 'Club' or 'Class'. The default setting is 'All'.

If the report is restricted by making a selection, the scores can be reported in one of two ways.
- Restricted Scope Scoring selected - scores are re-calculated as if the only pilots who flew were the pilots within the selection.
- Restricted Scope Scoring NOT selected - uses the same scores as for the 'All' version of the report.

Restricted Scope Scoring is useful for competitions
where, for example, only the pilots from a particular
Country qualify for a single competition National Championship, and where it is important to remove the
effect of the flights of pilots from other countries
from the results.

Click on the drop down box that shows the number of pilots selected. You will then see the pilot names.

Show/Hide

Use the Show/Hide options to choose what is shown on your report.
See more on the 'Flight Details' option below.

Select Rounds for Report

The report can also be run for any range of rounds.
Why would you want to do this? Because longer competitions can be reported as though
they were separate competitions, with each qualifying for LSF competition points.
So a 14 round competition can be reported for rounds 1 to 7, rounds 8 to 14 and rounds 1 to 14.
If the number of rounds chosen meets the 'drop score' setting, a score will be dropped from the rounds chosen.
Any penalties recorded in the range of rounds chosen will also be taken into account.

Reports - Overall Results With Flight Details

Show/Hide Flight Details is ticked.

The flight details reported depend on the competition.

For this thermal duration competition the details are flight time and landing points.

For F5J details are flight time, height in metres, landing points, 'Yes' if over 75 metres.

Other competition types are treated according to their scoring elements.

This example shows how penalties are noted both for the round and also in total.
