![]() ![]() I decided that since we could not modify the DOS program as there was no source code available, that I would look into creating an up-to-date version running under Windows. They do a great job and you can see them for a mile. We will have the 32” monitors in the DOS lane and the 26”ers at either end. And we just purchased another two monitors, 32” this time. SAAM purchased two 26” displays for this. The NAA's northeast Indoor Nationals are hosted by SAAM and about that time we decided to also move in the direction of a video timing system based on the Canadian timer program. ![]() Again, it was simply a good but older program that needed updating and additions which had two shining attributes: it was free and it worked. We were hoping for updates to follow but the program was what it was. While the program was a big step forward it did have limitations. I am told it originated in Canada and it was a DOS based program supposedly written in Basic. You may be familiar with the software they started to use. We have had great success using it for tournaments in this area.Ībout a year ago, when we started the indoor tournament season, a number of local clubs started to use PCs, usually laptops, and video monitors as timing systems for their shoots. It runs on any Windows XP computer and uses common medium resolution video monitors to show time till the shooting starts, break time, end time, makeup end time and A/B lines. I am a long-time member of the State Archery Association of MA (SAAM) and developed the time management system used at the MA Indoor Nationals. I have a couple of ideas rolling around in my head right now.īy Richard K. If you ever have any suggestions or other program requirements, let me know. eee so it would not be filtered out of the email. The attached file is the self installing zip file that we have been using. I made a couple of changes that should make it more bullet proof, such as checking to see if the Archery font file has been installed. I have attached a new version of the tournament timer.
