i'm not saying what should or should not happen. i suggest you take that up with those responsible for that information.
I tried that a few posts ago. The flames were so intense my Nomex suit was destroyed.

( personally I am in favor of eletronic scoring for amature racing)
also not for nothing but if you are an expert or veteran sport racer you should have the system down by now. Experts must have a licence and can't use a one day (technically). seasoned sports have been doing this long enough to get it figured out.
Thats just my .02$
There are several database-driven race timing and scoring software packages already available, but an open-source one would certainly be nice (especially one that works in Mac OS X!). In the future, expect more races to make race-day registration more expensive in an effort to push people to pre-register. Pre-registration makes things a million times easier for the race staff, and makes for far quicker race-day number pick-up for everyone. As for using the data from bikereg for the results, I absolutely did do that with our Highbridge race results, and it saved a lot of time to use that pre-registration data. No way on earth would I re-type that info if I already had it in tab-delimited form!
As far as manually entering license numbers into the results for those who didn't pre-reg, most promoters I know *do* do that when preparing the results. Heck, USA Cycling requires it. If you've found that the promoter has left off your license number in error, e-mail them and ask them to correct it. That is definitely your right as a racer.
