Showjumping and
Dressage
Club & Competition Management Program
Equestrian Event Management Software
Freeware Microsoft Access Application
|
 |
| This is a
freeware Microsoft Access Application for
equestrian clubs running showjumping or dressage competitions, or any
other equestrian event where entries are received and draws must be
generated. It
requires no expensive software as it will run with Microsoft Access
2007 Runtime, FREE from Microsoft. You are
free to download and use this program at your own risk. The program has
been commended for it's handling of entries and creation of draws, and
for the range of reports available to help manage the event. A big
feature has been the account settlement process where all charges and
prize money are balanced to produce a final amount due or refund/prize
payable. |
| It will score
standard showjump and
dressage events, but will not score teams events. Without the scoring,
it can still generate draws, record placegetters, and manage the total
competitor accounts. It will be up to you
to trial run an event to ensure that the program can handle all that
you want it to. |
| The program was
written for the Sale and District
Showjumping and
Dressage Club in Victoria to manage the entries for their annual
championship, and the Australian Showjumping Championships held there
in April 2006. |
| The initial
requirement was for the random generation
of draws and
to be able to handle the many entry changes that occur during a three
day show. |
| Additionally, the
implementation of rider accounts to
track rider
entries, prize money, payments and receipts has proved
invaluable when
settling accounts with the riders at the end of the show, as everyone
has a clear picture of their account and outstanding charges. |
| The program has
been further developed to support the
dressage
competitions as well, mostly to do with the addition of times to the
draws, and the manual positioning of riders within a draw required by
the dressage club. |
| Being a Microsoft
Access application, the program can
be run
with multiple computers networked together working on the same data.
Commonly, shows are run with two computers connected with an Ethernet
crossover cable, which can be purchased from any computer store |
