O_well Orienteering Results Analysis |
Welcome to what is quite simply the best Orienteering result analysis program ever. This program has been designed and written by Joe Lee Computing to analyse the results of the orienteering events, and operates on PCs running Windows 95 and above. | |

The program is copyright (October 2001) of Joe Lee but is made available free of charge subject to the following conditions: |

Two views of results are available |
You have the option to display the team lists in finish order, or by route order - you can select any control and list teams who went through that control. When displaying in finish order, the top of the list shows all those who didn't complete the course - these show as position 0. Each course is displayed with all the available controls for that course. Click on any control to make it a 'reference point' - you can then hover over any subsequent controls to display the relative times of your selected teams between the reference control and the current control. For the first time, a comprehensive analysis of score classes is now possible. |
Understanding the graphs | Graphs are plotted relative to any selected team. The plots are not a representation of absolute time
at a control.
The slope of each line is the important point - lines sloping upwards represent a loss of time
relative to the reference team between those two controls, a downwards slope means that this team ran
faster than the reference team...just how much faster or slower is represented by the time difference between the
start of a line segment and the end.
You can use the cursor facility to measure time gaps - move the cursor to the point you want to start measuring from, click it to fix that point as a reference, then move the cursor anywhere else to see a measure of time differences. Where intermediate times are not available because of failure of a control box, the time is set to the same time as the previous control - this is not an ideal fix but it is quick and easy for me to do. |
How to download and installThe program is supplied as a stand-alone executable file. Simply download it to a directory of your choice, then double click the o_well.exe file to run it. It is best to download the data files into the same directory, but you can also choose which directory to use from within the program. | |
