John Leslie Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 First of all a trivial point to be addressed. Accumulate: verb acquire an increasing number of (points in this case). Yes. Accumulate is a verb. "A doing word". The riders accumulate points. If you want to show the points as they are accumulated, you show them as a cumulative total. Cumulative Adverb increasing or increased in quantity, degree, or force by successive additions As i say whatever appeals to each person regards layout is fine. I designed mine the way i did because i feel that the ones that add (usually intermittent and not after every four heats) the running totals can be confusing and take time to comprehend, Especially when riders are scoring low points, whilst glancing at the chart a riders total can look like a heat score. With the MiniMax DUAL GRID racecard there is no mental arithmetic needed you merely look down at your racecard and every rider's current score is staring you in the face. No looking back across a line and adding up each race, even those with intermittent totals require adding recent races, and then do the same for the other 15 riders and try and remember all 16!!! MiniMax DUAL GRID = one look down and see all riders totals at a glance. God know what all that rambling gibberish means. Call me old-fashioned, but if I want to see the riders totals after heat 12, I like to look at the totals colum after heat 12. And if i want to see everyone's total after heat 16 I want to look at the totals column after heat 16. I don't really need to look at a separate grid at the far end after heat 20 where all different totals from different stages are bunched together. p.s. Probably also needs an index until the BSPA see sense and line the riders up in alphabetical order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just provide the racecards and am glad that people like to use them, that's it, they are instantly out of my mind until i'm due to print the next one. Occasionally as here i'll spare a little time amusing myself with the MiniMax racecard obssessives by replying to them as they traipse around after me across the forums. Im still not seeing the innovation. Ah well. Ah well indeed, so are you going to toddle of now and get on with your life? Call me old-fashioned, but if I want to see the riders totals after heat 12, I like to look at the totals colum after heat 12. And if i want to see everyone's total after heat 16 I want to look at the totals column after heat 16. I don't really need to look at a separate grid at the far end after heat 20 where all different totals from different stages are bunched together. And if you want to know the riders totals in ALL the MANY other heats? lol, lol, lol. OK i bored now, why are we still discussing the racecard? Why did you come here if you didn't want a/the racecard? Why did you even take the effort to post lol? Ok i'm off to watch the Danish League speedway with the accompanying MiniMax racecard for the meeting. Byeeeeeeeeeeeee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Leslie Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) And if you want to know the riders totals in ALL the MANY other heats? lol, lol, lol. Not sure what you may have been drinking/taking, but there are no other heats that need totalling other than the 20 races which decide the semi finalists/finalists. Why did you come here if you didn't want a/the racecard? I came here because I wanted a British Final racecard. and i found this excellent one https://www.dropbox....ish Final.pdf?m Does everything you could possibly want and is very well laid out Edited May 13, 2013 by John Leslie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomhaines Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Can't quote on my phone but 9.57: Anyway that's all i can be bothered to point out, it's my last word on the subject, Yes of course it is! Not sure what this clique you refer to constantly is? I don't know any of the other people who can't stand your ramblings.... To be a clique we'd have to communicate surely? Which I don't!
