Features

Geco currently supports the SPORTident timing system.

The four following formats are currently available:

  • Classic (inline course): controls must be taken in order
  • Free Order: runner chooses in which order to take the controls
  • Orient’Show: time penalties and MP limit, knockout qualifications,…
  • Multi Sections: mixing inline and free order sections, time penalties, section neutralization…

Free Order and Orient’Show support the following options when checking e-cards:

  • time penalties on missing punches
  • MP limit, from 0 MP allowed to any number of MP

Geco also supports Mass Start events and One Man Relay with an easy setup.

Geco offers powerful capabilities for ecard reading:

  • three reading modes: racing, training, registration
  • an automatic handler which provides:
    • automatically insert new entries when reading ecards
    • detect the course from the punch trace in ecard
    • look up ecard number in archive to retrieve name, club, category…

These features enables different organisation styles with Geco, from lighweight training to medium-size race.
