Update instructions for advanced users: if you have previously installed the ACES 8.5 software for the 2023 season
and you are comfortable with unpacking .zip/.tgz files and working in the file system,
you can download an update file containing just the delta with
the updated ProgramFiles
directory and configuration files
and move the updates into your existing ACEScoring
directory
to replace the files in your existing installation.
See the README.txt included with the update for instructions on installing the changes.
(Tip: rename the existing ProgramFiles directory from the previous release, e.g., ProgramFiles-r8.5,
and then copy in the updated ProgramFiles directory from the unpacked r8.60 download for 2024).
Keep your existing ACESData and ConfigurationSettings directories.
Several sample race series data sets provided if you would like to try out the scoring software and work through some simple examples of loading race results and computing event standings.
To install the sample race series, download the .zip file containng the sample race series data sets and unpack it into your ACEScoring installation directory. Several race series folders will be added under the ACESData
data directory. A description of the sample data sets is included which explains what is provided and suggests some exercises you can try.
After downloading and unpacking the sample data, run the ACE Scoring software and use the File/Open
command to open one of the sample race series. Now you can use the sample setup and the timing data that is provided with that example to work through the process of loading race results data and generate scoring reports.
