Oct 7, 2003 Version 3.2.63

 

Support added for "Sibling classes":
Sibling classes let you have a "master" class and one or more classes with the same properties that are related to the master class - in other words a "group" of classes. When a horse is entered into the master class it is also entered into ALL the sibling classes that are related to the master class.

 

With this feature you can easily manage double judged classes as well as triple and quadruple judged classes with total flexibility on a class by class basis. HSS numbers the sibling classes using the same class number as the master class with a .1, .2, .3 etc. appended to the end of the class number.
EG: Master class=200, then sibling classes would be 200.1, 200.2, 200.3 ...

 

Considerations with sibling classes:

  1. HSS will attempt to add / scratch an entry from all siblings when an entry is entered into / scratched from a class. Under some circumstances HSS will not scratch an entry from a sibling class. EG: if results have been posted to the sibling class
  2. Class entry fees are used for each sibling. Therefore the total amount billed will be the entry fee multiplied by the number of siblings (including the base class). So if you have the base class and one sibling, and the Base class entry fee is $25.00, then the amount billed will be 2 x $25.00 = $50.00.
  3. Prizes are computed and awarded in the normal way for EACH of the siblings (and master) in the group.
  4. Results are entered for each sibling.
  5. When entering into a group of sibling classes, simply enter the base class number. There is NO need to specify the sibling class numbers. HSS will enter the entry into all the related classes.
  6. The invoice will list each sibling in the group.
  7. Results and points will be computed on EACH of the siblings in the group. In other words, the sibling classes are treated just like regular classes

Notes on prize money applied to invoices

  1. Prize money / results will only be shown and applied to invoices after a class is CLOSED.  Do not expect to see results on invoices until you close the classes the entry is entered into.
  2. A new field is used with cheques to indicate the actual cheque amount versus the prize amount awarded. 
  3. When applying prizes against invoices the cheque amount paid will be the net winnings AFTER the winnings have been first used to credit the invoice.
  4. You will notice that in “Apply prizes to invoices” mode, you will still see “PRIZE” type cheque records in the cheques grid, however the “Chk Amount” field will be $0.00.  The “Prize” field will still reflect the prize amount the entry has won.  1099 / Tax reporting still uses this amount regardless of refund cheques issued.
  5. When a show is running in “Apply prized to invoices” mode:
    1. the cheque printing system will create “REFUND” cheques and update the “Cheque amount” payable when you open the cheque printing manager.  ONLY cheques that are NOT already marked as “printed” will be updated.  Existing REFUND cheques (if any) that are marked as printed but have an incorrect amount will be marked as VOID.
    2. You can only access the check printing manager if ALL classes are closed.  This also implies therefore that you must close all classes before any refund cheques can be created and issued.  This is fair since you really don’t know what the refunded amount will be until all prizes are awarded and therefore applied to invoices.
    3. You should avoid issuing refund cheques until you are absolutely sure you will not be editing any fees, payments or other things that might modify invoices.  Refund cheques are based on credit balances on invoices.  Change any invoice amounts and you will have sent the wrong refund amount.
  6. Cheques now have a “Type” field to indicate if the amount is a refund or a prize payout.  Refund cheques are created when you have configure the show to “Apply prize money to invoices”.  The refund amount is the net refund due after applying payments and prize money to invoices.  Their may or may not be a check depending on how much money an entry has won and their payments and fees.
  7. Changing the prize money award scheme after starting a show is not recommended for obvious reasons.
