You could do worse then revert to the way it used to be with ROORDA, etc, (and which is the way it is done in some overseas places I am aware of and have been involved with) with one PC used to run all major meetings (would have the advantage of having most entries already in the database), and with one person charged with attending those meetings and running the events. Needless to say, entry prior to race day should be mandatory (there are several free online systems available so there should never be a need for on the day entries) - this would give the race director the ability to do what I always did in this circumstance the night before, set up the meeting and let it run through on automatic, this of course doesn't eliminate all possible problems but it is a big help. AMBrc's should also be mandatory. If the (major) version of the software remains the same, any problems experienced at one meeting could be fixed and tested before the next such meeting, rather than it seems to continue to run old copies of software with various PCs and OSes and various varieties of transponders.
