Editing classes - 4 Where there is a high entry for a class, you can split into flights You can set the total time and the warmup time per entrant The Green value shows this is the default warmup time (See Preferences later) TScore will adjust this if there are 2 beds

Editing classes - 5 TScore gives lots of options for Qualifying Scores Lower and upper thresholds (e.g. Qualification vs Mobility) One or two conditions (with AND / OR ) Total score, 1 or 2 round score (value > 10.0), difficulty (dN) Absolute (1 to 10) or percentage (N%) positions Include or exclude bonus, horizontal displacement, difficulty

In the ‘advanced’ configuration section later in this course you will learn how to: Create and modify ‘class definition files’ Save your modified classes for re-use Combine one or more classes Create template classes for auto-creation on import

Panels and printers TScore lets you configure each panel directly from the recording station.
