OS12 is your comfortable and reliable tool to organise relay O events.
1-10 runners per team are supported. This can be defined for each class individually.
OS12 provides an automatic, error-free course distributing (Vännäs, Motala, Farsta are supported). In simple mode, you can also enter “irregular” assignments. Within a class, you can use several courses with different branch methods. This is used at larger relay competitions where there are more than 4 legs per team. The course distribution is the basis for a correct automatic code checking for every runner.
OS12 supports simultaneous runners on the same leg (Xtra-runners). This mode is well-known in Scandinavia where they use it for the youngsters classes.
OS12 allows multiple late starts and multiple restarts, as a maximum one for each leg.
A restart means that you have a break during the race, which can be defined for each class independently. Later you can continue the race. The nextcoming leg will be re-started using a chase start according to the current standings of the race.
This type of relays is very popular in Scandinavia. For example, you can perform the first two legs of a class in the evening as a night race. On the next day, the race will be continued with leg 3. There may be other classes which have a “normal” race only on the second day. This is the way how the famous Smålandskavlen in Sweden is organised.
