GPRM - Dynamic Scheduling
Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 5:30 pm
Our pack recently upgraded our track to a new timer. With the new timer we upgraded to the GPRM software.
The previous software was the Super-Timer 2 race manager.
Super Timer had a built in dynamic scheduler similar to GPRM however it assured lane equity. Ie every car ran at least once in each lane as well as raced cars of similar speeds.
In looking through all the scheduling options in GPRM I have not found a dynamic schedule that also assures lane equity, is there such a schedule? If so what is it under?
We have tried the perfect-N, however we did not like that some cars would race back to back races. Is there an option to ensure most cars race once before a second car is racing again? Or is this not something that can be done in the Perfect-N system?
The one option that our pack enjoyed about the dynamic method is the break between lane runs. After each car ran once there was a pause while it recalculated the schedule. This allowed the cars to be reordered and arranged to be more easily found. In our first run with GPRM it seemed we were always scrambling to find the cars to race as so many raced back to back.
Thanks for the help,
Rick
