Team features in OE12 and OEScore implemented

In OE12 V.12.1., the event types Teams only, Normal and distributed controls are fully supported now. All functions which deal with teams, f.ex. Entries, Courses, Chip evaluation, Results have been enhanced to cover the right calculations and the right visual appearance. Almost all reports where teams are included have a special layout which is similar to the layouts of the OS12 relay application.
A special new feature in OE12 is the code checking for team events with distributed controls. Shortly said, at such team competitions the teams have to run a course with obligate controls for every team mate, while other controls can be distributed among the team members because they only need to be punched by one of them. This is the functionality of the former SportSoftware application OLTeam (OT2003) V.10.3. Read more details about this here.
There is also a new demo event which was the German team championship with distributed controls, held by my club in 2005 (using OLTeam V10 at that time).
Some minor bugs and small but important improvements have been done also.

OEScore V.12.1 has been updated accordingly. It includes the same special report layouts for team events like OE12.

OE12 and OEScore updated

I have done much work on OE12 V.12.1.
The most important new feature is the event wide timekeeping accuracy. This defines the time format by which start and finish times must be calculated. This setting is central for the whole event. Formerly this had to be defined as the time format in each singular working form which calculates start/finish times, f.ex. Read chips or Evaluate chips and more. This lead to mistakes if those forms were working on different PCs in the network. Now the format settings in these forms are strictly for display only. Also, formerly the automatic recalculation computed the start and finish punches of the chips only. Now this recalculation computes also the online finish times from the time taking system and the online punches. As a side effect, this allows to use OE12 with SportIdent or Emit chips for time taking on non-O competitions without the need to download the chips in the finish.
Another main focus of my work was the support of the Swiss entry and result portal ol-events.ch under the Web main menu item. You can download classes and entries, as well as upload radio control definitions, start lists and (live) results directly out of OE12. As a special feature, preferred start times or start blocks can be specified on ol-events.ch and they can be included by option in the entries download. So far this portal offers its services in Switzerland only, but there are plans to expand internationally.
I have also done much on the support of the Emit chip system. There are many small improvements and some bug fixes of basic handling procedures.
Finally I worked through a long list of bug reports from OE2010 V11. Many of them had already been solved by the new technical level of OE12. I solved most of the others from this list.

OEScore V.12.1 has been updated accordingly. However, all new features which have to do with Speaker and Web functions are not included in OEScore. If anybody is using one of the supported web entry portals for Rogaining or other score O competitions, then please tell me that. The Web functions could easily be activated in OEScore also.
