Set Run status

Ariadne derives the normal run status from the presence of start- and finish events, and from the presence of elapsed run time and penalty points.

Abnormal run statusses occur when a competing unit does not finish (when the boat tipped and/or the participant left the kayak/canoe), or when the competing unit finishes irregularly. In the last case the run is disqualified.

According to the ICF rules, disqualification can relate to a person for the whole competition, it can relate to a competing unit for an event, and it can relate to a single run. In Ariadne, a disqualification can only be assigned to a run.

Run statusses available in Ariadne:

Run status Abbreviation Description
not started not started This is the initial state for an entry/competing unit which has not started yet.
started started The competing unit is reglementary started. This status occurs only when the run is ongoing. The run ends normally in a finish, or abnormally in a 'Did not finish' or in a disqualification.
finished finished The competing unit is finished. On this moment it is not certain whether the finish is reglementary
complete complete The run finished reglementary, and the penalty points were added, to make the runresult.
Did not finish DNF The competing unit left the course before the finish line. There is no finish time available, and eventual penalty points are discarded.
Disqualified DSQ The competing unit has a finish time and eventual penalty points, but he/she did not finish reglementary, or the chief judge disqualify the run for some reason (c.f. ICF rules).
Initialized Initialized In case the chief judge grants a request that a run be re-run, the runstatus is set to initialized. In this case the elapsed time and the penalty points of the run involved are discarded.

The run statusses 'DNF', 'DSQ' and 'Initialized' can explicitly be be set on the form A342 Set Run status. When issued, these statusses override the existing run status.

Issuing the status 'Normal' results in a run status 'not started', 'started', 'finished', or 'complete', depending on the content of [elapsed time] and [ penalty points].

Runstatus, elapsed time, penalty points and time stamps are related according to the table below:

Set status [elapsed-time] [penalty-points] [start-time-stamp] [status-time-stamp] Run status
normal null null null null not started
  >0 null no change now finished
  >0 >=0 no change now complete
  null >=0 now() now started
Did not finish null null no change now DNF
Disqualified no change no change no change now DSQ
Intialize null null null now Initialized
