Two touchscreen eTally check-in points will be available throughout the regatta. They are on the notice board outside the changing rooms from 2 hours before racing until eTally closes.
One is for Series A, the other for Series B.
You can check-in if you cannot eTally by phone.
To Use
- Tap the orange button.
- Start typing the first digits of your sail number. If your sail number is 5 or more digits long, you can type the last digits.
- Tap your row in the list that pops up.
- Tick the box to confirm. Submit that.
- Before racing choose Yes or (just possibly) No and Submit.
- After racing make your declaration. Hopefully OK – you started, sailed the course and finished. Perhaps DNF. Other options are available.
And that’s it. For most people it’s about 8 taps and less than 15 seconds.
If you change your mind or make a mistake, just go round again.
Important
eTally Check-In is new and experimental. This is the first time it has been used outside the lab. Things may go wrong, it may not yet be optimum but it has a lot of potential.
If the technology fails, paper signing sheets are available nearby.
Please treat the equipment with respect. It is there for the benefit of competitors and if damaged will not be replaced.
