PPL File

From RaceTab Community Wiki

A PPL ("people") file is a text file that Lynx uses to list the names of the athletes along with information about them.

Here is an example:

; This file, 'lynx.ppl', matches ID numbers with names and affiliations

; Format:
; ID number, last name, first name, affiliation, license, gender, event number
; ID number, last name, first name, affiliation, license, gender, "event number 1, ..., event number 4"
;             .
;             .
; where gender is M or F, and event number is the event number the athlete is registered in (from the .evt file)

; Notes:
; + Any line starting with a semicolon is ignored.
; + In general, you can omit unnecessary or unknown information.
