GameBoy not included The iCard‚Ñ¢ Pro System, when connected to an automated Timing and Scoring (T&S) system, receives its information for view by team members and fans. The T&S system consists of a transponder that is attached to each car and which transmits a unique ""signature"" such that each time the transponder passes over a timing loop a signal is sent to the T&S computer indicating that the car has passed the timing loop. The T&S computer then calculates the time, marries the transponder signal with a competitor name and car number, and records the result lap after lap. The T&S computer, as a normal part of its operating function, generates an output stream of messages and it is this data stream that the iCard‚Ñ¢ computer program receives. Consequently, the iCard‚Ñ¢ system simply passes information from the T&S system to your handheld iCard‚Ñ¢. The iCard‚Ñ¢ System consists of the following elements: * The iCard‚Ñ¢ software that receives the Timing and Scoring information and prepares it for broadcast * iCard‚Ñ¢ transmitter and antenna that sends the iCard‚Ñ¢ broadcast * iCard‚Ñ¢ receivers that receive and decipher the iCard‚Ñ¢ broadcast for display on a Nintendo Game Boy The iCard‚Ñ¢ system transmits information very fast, with data prioritized and sent in this fixed order: * Leaderboard information * Driver Page timing results * Scrolling message updates * Menu page and Driver Page information other than timing results As a result, the iCard‚Ñ¢ system accommodates instantaneous updates, even in events featuring 30 or more competitors. Current Session The Timing and Scoring system calculates competitor results differently depending on the session currently scored. Practice and Qualifying Sessions: competitor position is arranged with the fastest single lap by a competitor within an entire session determining that competitor's rank among in the field. Default display information is as follows: * Leaderboard: overall rank/car no./best lap time/gap from overall leader * Driver Page: overall rank/rank in class/last lap time/gap from overall leader Once a session is complete and one the T&S Administrator begins a new session, the final standings of the existing session are moved to the ""Previous Session"" page and accessible from the main menu. Race: competitor position is arranged in sequence by the current track position. When a competitor is a lap or more behind the leader, the gap is calculated and displayed as the number of laps behind. When a competitor is less than a lap behind the leader, the gap is displayed in seconds or minutes and seconds (e.g. 12.834 seconds or 1:23 minutes and seconds). Default display information is as follows: * Leaderboard: overall rank/car no./best lap time/gap from overall leader * Driver Page: overall rank/rank in class/last lap time/gap from overall leader Once a session is complete and once the T&S Administrator begins a new session, the final standings of the existing session are moved to the ""Previous Session"" page and accessible from the main menu. Previous Session This page displays the final results of the session immediately preceding that which is currently displayed on the leaderboard page. Scrolling Message Updates Scrolling message updates are generated by manual input or automatically by the iCard‚Ñ¢ operating software. Automatically generated messages are done whenever one of the top three positions change within a given racing class. Manual updates may be displayed whenever the event T&S operator types in a message for distribution to iCard‚Ñ¢ users. Used GameBoy can be added for $40...
