Version 4.63 20/11/2015
New Feature added That receives a text message from an athlete and automatically populates the training database at the touch of a button,so it will be known
in advance who will be at training.The procedure for this is to send Text 39ELW folowed by last four digits of LPS ID without spaces so if an athlete has
an ID of LPS01050 then their message would be 39ELW1050 and send to 60777 if you have more than one athlete just add their ID to the text but with no spaces.
Do not add any message at all to the text as required as it will not work.
Their wil be no response to this text but if it has sent then i will have this information on the database with an automatic session selected for the athletes ability.
If an athlete is not going to training then no text is required.There is a time window when these texts may be sent.
Tuesday session from the preceding Sunday thru to Tuesday evening strict cut off time is 5:30 pm on the Tuesday.
Thursday session from Wednesday day before thru to Thursday evening strict cut off time is 5:30 pm on the Thursday.

Version 4.62 11/11/2015
Minor changes Checkbox to sign in is now dynamic. Dropdownlist Groups is hidden when not required.
Version 4.61 08/11/2015
Bug fix that duplicated athletes in athletes table if adding an athlete(s) after all athletes had been registered for that session
So if an athlete arrives late can be added without duplication of all other athletes in the athlete table.
This was done by making a composite index of athlete and session date in athletes table and making this unique so not allowing duplicates
If a duplicate was added this would throw up an error which was contained by a simple Try catch end catch routine in the code.
Added an athlete counter so do not need to manualy count checked list to see how many athletes had signed in
Added a group athletes for none timed sessions which is colour coded to easily identify athletes of similar ability.
Timer now incorporated in Handicap session code Courtesy of Stephen McCarten
Version 4.60 10/10/2015
Gone back to Visual Studio 2013 as too many bugs in VS 2015
Added sort categories YR,Name,Summer and Winter.Summer and Winter buttons automatically choose an athletes agegrade ratings from a different field.
The Summer button is based on 1.3K time trial and sorts accordingly.
The Winter button is based on 2.6K time trial and sorts accordingly.
These buttons can be used irrespective of the season and are used primarily to sort the athletes ie if the session is going to be a short fast session
Then the Summer button would sort the athletes in an order and also give sessions that favour the shorter distance runners.The Winter button would be the opposite.

The athlete with 0 starts on the watch and subsequent athletes on a seconds countdown,so an athlete with a handicap of 10 starts 10 seconds after the first athlete etc.
Added a slider to increase/decrease horizontal display to make more compatible depending on monitor viewed on.

Major upgrade...Agegrade facility to record a time an athlete takes to finish in a 1K or 3K Trail run currently only 1K is used
The time is used in conjunction with an athletes Date of birth to create an integer called Agegrade.
New endurance athletes are obliged to run 1K or 3K on their first session in order to compute an Agegrade.The Agegrade will then group them in correct future sessions
This will not be static as once a month the 1K or 3K run will be repeated for all athletes in order to update their Agegrade.

Version 3.02
Minor bug fixes School year not calculating correctly. Edit Athlete now has Paging and created error message if athlete not found.
Known issues: Last row in athlete sessions is posting back when an item is selected this gives undesirable results and makes that row unusable.
Version 3.01
At present this site gives access to Athletes training times, which are
graphically illustrated.
And now a race Time Prediction based on Training times has been added .This is work in progess and new features will be added
regularly
Fixture calendar and training calendar now added,colur coded depending on
event/session ie green is competition.
Version 2.00. Now has the the provision for an athlete to enter their own times for a session, When they choose a session they wish to record a dropdownlist of times is presented for them to choose a time.
This dropdownlist is dynamic and displays a list of times that are based on the average of their last session so as not to encumber them with a huge list of all possible times for that session.
Version 3.00
Major release includes interface for training sessions..Add new athlete they are then added to training schedule. Choose from list to give them a rating , schedules adjust accordingly.
Edit an athletes profile Telno rating etc. Choose an athlete for training session from list of registered athletes with tick box ,when selection is complete refresh the list and their session is displayed for that evening
This session can be default session for their age group/rating or selected individually from dropdownlists ie 800m,600M etc. Once selected the dropdown lists are populated with a list of times.If an athlete has done that session before
then the times are calculated from an average of their last session + x amount of times and minus x amount of times.So if an athlete has done the last session say 800m in an average of 2.30 then available times in list wil be arranged above and below
this mean value which is highlighted to give the athlete a target time for that session.
If an athlete has never done the session then a much larger list is displayed in order that there will be a suitable time.
The recording of the times is done by selecting the athletes time from dropdown list and when the evenings session is complete clicking on Save session all Athletes times are then saved to online database.
Saving may be done any time throughout the session. Once saved any new athlete now has some history in that session and so subsequently the dropdown lists will reflect a mean target time and also a much reduced number of times to choose from
thus making the timekeeping an easier operation.
