This great software program runs on Windows and
handles definition of events, registration and
scheduling of skaters (including splitting of
flights), mailing lists, makes masters for your
printed competition "program
booklet", and even generates a schedule file
you can send to me for posting here on the Figure
Skater's Website. For USFSA competitions, it
generates a schedule file which the accountant's
programs can import. For ISI it will do all of
your scoring tasks. Contact Bill Goen in
Michigan for more information.
