New Toy for 4-way Geeks: Draw Generator

Tired of creating random draws off the tops of our heads, we decided to make an over-complicated excel file that could do it for us. The program randomly generates draws for any division you want, and will even put the pictures together for you in an easily printed format. If you know the dives you want to do, you can enter them and have the generator make the pics for you as well. Check it out and let us know what you think. Make sure to save the file to your computer before opening it. Then, enable Macros when you open the file. Rhythm_Draw_Generator_V5.xls

Training Tool Update

There was a bug in the 12/11/2007 version when we added the option to use keys to time jumps. If you downloaded this version, the data won't be copied to the "Data" page from the timer. Please download the latest update to correct this bug.

CSC Rhythm shares its performance measurement tool

We have developed a tool that we use to time dives and track statistics. Some highlights include:
  • The excel file is the stop watch. Instead of timing then transposing results, you can click a button in the tool, and all the information is automatically passed to the jump database for analysis. This saves time and reduces errors.
  • Charts and tables display block, random and exit statistics from week to week, and track against goals. If there's a statistic missing, please suggest it -- we'd love to make this file even better.
  • The tool uses your historical results to calculate an estimated score on any jump you enter. This can be a useful training tool in itself. We often competed against its predictions in mock meets.
  • It can be used to measure 4 way as well as 8 way.
We want to share this tool so that others may benefit from it, and to get additional feedback on how to improve the tool. If you have any suggestions for improvements, corrections or questions please contact us.
