Ór is a program that will allow you to produce results from an orienteering event. It is usually used for with SPORTident but has also been used for “punch” events.
Ór can be used with or without SPORTident.
Ór is intuitive to use.
Unlike other software for SPORTident, Ór is designed to be used in “Entry on the Day” and Colour Coded events as well as Championship type, Class based events.
Ór handles normal, cross-country, or Score events.
For small events, one person can handle Entries, Start and Finish.
Ór produces results in
HTML format, ready for publication on the web.
Ór produces Split results in
HTML and CSV format for publishing on the web or uploading to Winsplits.
Ór can print normal results or full split time results.
Ór is being developed for Irish orienteering, so you can request new features, (though there's no guarantee that you'll get them).
Ór has a Simulator which allows you to get used to using it without needing any SPORTident equipment.
Ór will automatically check for updates when it is launched. You can be sure that you are using the most up-to-date version of Ór and IOA Archive.
Ór can automatically produce individual split sheets as competitors download.
GPS feature. Competitors with a Garmin GPS receiver can get a splits sheet that includes an image of the map with their routes superimposed.
Ór can import course information from OCAD or other Course Design Tools.
Ór can upload results to orienteering.ie easily. It can also automatically create a RouteGadget event.
Ór can download and use the most up-to-date version of the IOA SPORTident Archive. This speeds up data entry.
Oh, did I mention it's free?

Many bug fixes.
Ór does not automatically produce or import backups yet.
Ór does not handle Relays yet.
Ór operates only as a single computer application.
Ór is a results program, not an event management program. It does not collate entry forms, print envelope stickers, produce start lists, produce control descriptions or any of the myriad of functions that other programs can perform. It only produces results!
Ór cannot program the SPORT
ident control boxes. You still need SIManager or SIConfig (free from
SPORTident) for that. Thankfully, you should never have to get involved with that any more.
Ór is designed for events with relatively small numbers of competitors - hundreds rather than thousands.
Ór requires Windows XP, Vista, Linux or Mac
OS(x86). Note. Ór will not download from GPS units on Linux or Mac.
Ór requires Java 1.5 or better. See the
downloads page for details on getting Java.
Ór has been tested on a single processor 2GHz machine with 512M of RAM. It should work well on a lower
spec'ed machine but you will need at least 512M of RAM if you are using the GPS feature.
Ór requires the correct SPORT
ident driver. See the
downloads page for details.
