Building Stages

In PS1 I had the ability to paste the stage brief and it would automatically update the targets.
Also, I am unable to copy stages and I no longer see that option either.
Have these features gone away?
Thanks!

@James_Heitz I haven’t though anyone is actually using the option to update targets from the briefing. I’ll see about adding it back.

As for copying stages… I really wondering what kind of information you want to copy from one stage to another?

One of the matches I’m involved in is an indoor match where we typically set up 1 stage and run it multiple ways with different start positions. We could run it 3 or 4 times in a night, so we just copy the stage since everything is the same. We do that on the fly, adding each stage once we complete the previous because the number of stages isnt defined at the beginning of the night. We only have 1 squad of about 25 shooters at this match, so we are only using one tablet

Right, but what do you have in that stage you are copying besides a number or targets?

Thats pretty much it, just number of targets. It was pretty quick to copy instead of adding a new stage and then entering # of targets. Not a big deal, its just something that we used for our matches (every other week) that I noticed was missing.

I use it quite often - of course it would be better to have dedicated solution to set up stages on the web instead of updating them from briefing. But it worked and I found it useful on many occasions.

It is in now. And you can actually set up stages on the web…

When building a stage from the stage briefing, it creates the correct number of targets but the number of hits per target are 1 and not 2 (or whatever is in the stage briefing).
For example, the following brief created a 13 round 65 point stage:
Stage 1 - Back It Up
Back It Up is a 24 round 120 point Comstock course. There are 11 USPSA targets and 2 poppers. The best 2 hits per paper will score.
Handgun start position is standing with toes on marks, wrists above shoulders, gun unloaded and holstered.
PCC start position is standing with toes on marks, PCC unloaded, low ready
Upon audible start signal engage targets from within the shooting area.

@James_Heitz put a comma in “24 round, 120 point”. Skipping things don’t help computers to understand what you meant.

Awesome, thanks
