2. The federation secretary uploads the race program to the organisations cloud. (Select transfer to the cloud, select the race event, select This PC and tick the box Race Events - press accept. The race is now in the organisations cloud. 


3. The federation secretary amends the race once the birds have been liberated adding the correct liberation time and then uploads the race event to the cloud. (Repeats the process above)

CLUB SECRETARIES

4. Club secretaries synchronise their races before going to the club so that the correct liberation time is added. (Some clubs tether their mobile phone to their laptop to send and recieve data, Wifi is available at some locations. Most do this at home. The program does not need Internet connection to produce a result.
