This particular piece of verbage is to document Henry's and my prototype version of Lickity Split, released March 5, 1999. A few things to note at the outset.

• This is a limited version of the intended final version of Lickity Split.
• At NO TIME can the user exit the application by tapping the hardware buttons or by tapping the silkscreen Calculator or Applications button. The data for the race will be lost.
• Limits are
• 250 racers
• 19 laps
• 8-character name
• 3-character affiliation
• 3-character bib
• The power save function may power the Pilot off after a few minutes. This can be adjusting by going to the Preferences and changing the auto-off after setting. Also, if it goes off during the race, don't panic, just push the power button back on and the race should be at the state in which it was left.
• Coach Bill Spencer will be taking this version of the prototype to the NCAA championships the week of March 7, 1999 for testing. When he returns, Henry and I and Bill will find time to meet and debrief on its usefulness, efficiency, accuracy, etc.

Here is what the Lickity Split prototype will look like when loaded onto the Pilot. The user will tap the Lickity Split skier icon to start the application.

The first screen the user will see is the Timing form - this form is "home base" for the application.

Currently, the user will see only five racers and one lap at a time. The bib, place, name, affiliation, and split are shown. At entry, the fields are blank.

Before the user starts a race, a Start List must be entered. This can be done by going to the Lickity Split menu.

The menu is accessed by tapping the Menu silkscreen button in the lower left-hand corner.

Here the Help Menu is displayed. The user will tap on "New StartList" or do a slash N to load a new Start List.

The defaults on the start list screen are to start with a Start Gap of 5 seconds and bib of 1 with that bib starting at zero. It is not required to have a name or affiliation entered.

If the user would like to change the Start Gap, a pen can be placed at the 5 and it can be deleted and another number entered. This field is only editable at the first entry. From then on it is locked.

The Racer Number field merely keeps a count of the racers entered.

The Name field will accept a name of up to 8 characters. It will auto-capitalize the first letter and won't accept anything over 8.

The Affil field will accept a 3-character affiliation.

The bib can be edited. The next bib default will always be one plus the previously entered bib number.

The Start time is automatically generated from the start gap.

The user MUST TAP THE OK button after every racer entry. When all racers have been entered, the user will tap the Done button. This will store all the racers in a race list to be used for the race.

Here is an example of how a screen might look while timing.

Enter a bib number by tapping in the Bib # area and entering the number.

Tap the Time button to time this racer. The racer's split is calculated and the just completed lap information is displayed in the middle of the list.

Tap the Show button to show the racer's most recently completed lap information with that racer in the middle.

Tap the left and right arrows to display the available information for previous and next laps for the middle racer.

To quit the race and re-initialize, the user can exit the application by tapping any of the buttons to go to another application or by tapping the application silkscreen button.
