Spurpoint

• Sightings can not be edited or deleted.
• A lot of behind-the-scenes code refactoring.
• Some minor bug fixes.
• (Thank you to Jonas B. for his contributions to this code.)

• Implemented database syncing between client and server instances.
• Client will remain running on local database if connection with server is lost.
• (Thank you to Jonas B. for his contributions to this code.)

• Improved Lead/Last runner algorithm
• Added ability to search the volunteers on the Check In/Out form.
• Adjusted the sort criteria on the volunteers to sort on last name, first name, and call sign...not just last name.
• Assigned volunteers are now designated with an asterisk.
• Added a checkbox to the Check In/Out form to toggle auto-update of the time field.
• Fixed the case where Manage Event dialog would not open if the event image could not be found.
• A limit to the number of bibs you can "sight" at one time is not hardcoded, but there is a constraint on the size of the query sent to the server. See the Spurpoint documentation under Sightings for details.

Spurpoint is free to download and use.
I only ask that you email me and let me know how you're using it.

Spurpoint is currently available for Windows, Linux, and ARM (e.g. Raspberry Pi).
I am working on a distribution for Mac.

Not at all! You can gather information about your race participants any way you desire. Phone calls, SMS texts, FRS radio, smoke signals, or even just yelling at each other across the field.
I use amateur radio in my events, but you can use whatever works for you.

I want you to be able to use Spurpoint error free. If you are experiencing a problem or seeing errors or other anomolies, please let me know (n7tms@yahoo.com) and I'll do everything in my power to get it resolved as soon as possible.

Absolutely! I am committed to making Spurpoint the best it can be. Although I probably can't make Spurpoint everything for everyone, I will certainly listen seriously to your suggestions.

I do accept donations of any amount via a PayPal link on RexburgHams.org -- whatever you feel the software is worth to you.
I also like reviews. If you consent to having your review posted on the Spurpoint website, let me know.
Even if you do not want your review posted, I'd still be interested to know what you think.
