NOTE: Only use this procedure if you have the time. If boats are passing it is MOST important to ensure the correct capture and marking of the race. Make a note of the event and boat number then come back to this as soon as you have time. Each Station will need to have all boats accounted for before the end of the day and you can go home.

Challenge: You have realized that you missed a boat when evaluating results. In this example we will be looking for bow number 8. First you check with the person recording the finish order to find out which boats the missing boat is between. We find that bow 8 is between bow 24 and bow 14 (boat order can vary, do not expect the boats to pass in Bow Number order except at the Start and even there things can get out of order though much less frequently). You could scroll through the image to try and find the missing boat, but there is a feature built into FinishLynx that makes it much faster to locate the missing boat.

Locate the Magnifying Glass in the menu bar above the entries

Find Bow Search Icon

When you select this button a new window will pop up in the middle of the screen as seen below:

Bow Search Number Entry

Enter the bow number of one of the bows that you know the missing boat is between. In this example I will enter 24 and select OK.

This will then locate the front of the bow 24 on the screen. Scroll the screen to locate the missed boat. In this example bow 8 is very close to bow 24. Note that there is no red line on bow 8. This indicates that bow 8 does not have a time recorded. Evaluate normally then hit CTRL + Z to save the file.
