SPORTident Mini Event (SIME) is a program for training, score events and small events ("self service" events or special non-standard orienteering events). As SIME uses a simple text file based data format, anyone can write a program to calculate their own results (you can even use MS Excel or equivalent), and use SIME for downloading data from the SPORTident system. These instructions describe how to work with SPORTident at training activities and small events.
