Data Export

The transaction summary shows the financial aspects of a competition. Where an amount relates to a specific number of crews the number of crwes is shown directly before the related amount.

Reports & Forms

The Reports and Forms are the equivalent of the entry and entry summary forms from the old paper-based version of the entries process.

Club entry summary: A summary of the entries from each club involved in the competition.
Club crew entry forms: The entry form for individual crews.
Additonal information report: The additional information recorded for competition.

Each entry summary and entry form report can be produced for all clubs or just for a single club. Within the report a number of options are available sorting and layout of each report.

The page layout can be either portrait or landscape.

The report can be made fill each page as much as possible using Continuous pagination; produce one page per crew using Break on crew; or to produce a group of pages for a club using Break on club.

Within each report there is an option to include the data for any combination of:

Rejected crews
Withdrawn crews
Scratched crews

Other Reports

Doubling and substitution reports are useful when deciding which crews to accept within the draw and for scheduling the racing to ensure a minimum of issues between crews.

The doubling report can report on a number of different aspects:

Competitor doubling - listing the doubling on a per-competitor basis. This provides a lot of detail which is useful for looking at fine issues or to help identify competitors who are entered in too many events.
Crew doubling - showing an overview of competitor doubling but rounded up to a whole crew level. This way a crew only appears on the list once rather than on a per-competitor basis.
While crew doubling - only showing doubling where the whole crew is doubled. Be warned that this hides lots of doubling where only a few members of a crew are actually doubling. It tends to not show the situation where an eight splits into a four, pair and two singles (the exact behaviour is not known at the time of writing so doing your own research is advised if this report is to be used).
Boat doubling - showing boat doubling between crews. Whilst this is a very useful report for race scheduling it must be taken with a pinch of salt because it relies on a club reporting accurate boat usage along with entries. BROE also is not good at catching boat doubling between clubs and indeed much of this style of doubling is ad-hoc on the day and there is no incentive to record this within BROE!

The substitutions report does exactly what it says on the tin! It reports the subs made against the baseline created when entries closed.

Data Export

The majority of the entry data can be exported as a number of row and column based tables. This is useful for standalone processing in spreadsheets and similar along with transfer of data into other software packages such as Oar-Online. Each table can be exported in either CSV or Excel (.xslx) formats. As a convenience the whole set of tables can be exported as a single .zip file. This zip export is also available as a top-level menu item in the Information menu.

All exports (in .zip format): All export tables in individual files within a .zip file.
Competitors: The live (submitted/accepted/but not scratched) competitors within the competition.
Custom crew information: The crew number and name information uploaded by the competition via the Custom crew information page.
Clubs: The clubs with any competitors entered within the competition. This includes clubs that have withdrawn all of their entries because it may be important to contact the club for some reason.
Crews: The full list of crews with any, live or not, entries within the competition.
Withdrawn/Scratched/Rejected crews: The list of crews that are no-longer live within the competition.
Masters Handicaps: The Masters handicap crew category for the current lineup of each crew entered into Masters events. Note the baseline category is currently not available within the export file.
Events: The full list of events offered by the competition.
Crew Baselines: The baseline competitorss recorded for each crew entered within the competition including all non-live crews.
Divisions: The divisions configured for the competition.
Starting List: A summary of the entries for use in collating results.
Event Bands: The bands configured for individual events within the competition.
Crew Bands: The bands assigned to each crew within the competition.
Competition: The overall competition lifecycle state. This is not available from the drop-down menu but is included in the .zip file.

The full documentation of these formats can be found at the BROE2help site and specifically the BROE2 Useful Documents page may be of use.
