Why was the program created

In my enduro racing career one thing always seemed consistent. The fact that no roll chart looked the same from one race to the next, so on top of racing the course you were also mentally figuring out what each clubs terminology meant (If you could read the small text in some cases). After searching the Internet and not finding a roll chart program for enduros I decided to create this program to promote consistent looking roll charts from race to race and I hope eventually from district to district.

I started creating the original roll chart program in 2004 with input from Mike Black (A district 22 race promoter), but with limited programming experience it proved frustrating and I put it aside for a year or so. As I gained programming experience I started again and got quite a ways before stopping again. In July of 2007 Brad Knisely emailed me to say he found the old program by a Google search and asked about using it. This sparked my interest again and I went back to work on the program. With some programming help from Brian Jahelka I completed the program.
