Setting up a four-in-hand class in Equipe
4 in hand prints the starting order and the official result for indoor four-in-hand driving (FEI Driving World Cup, one competition with drive-off). Everything on the list comes from Equipe. This page lists what has to be in Equipe for the list to be complete.
Short version: two classes per competition (a result class and a team class with
:T), four custom fields (hno and pos on the horse, groom1
and groom2 on the person), and the ground jury on the result class.1. Two classes per competition
Equipe has one horse per start, but a four-in-hand has four. The list therefore reads two classes and joins them on the driver.
| Class | Example | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
| Result class | A02 | One start per driver (the horse can be a placeholder such as “4 in hand”). Run as a jumping class with the rounds First Round and Drive-Off, faults converted to time. Gives the starting order, ranking, times, penalties, prize money and the ground jury. |
| Team class | A02:T | Tick Team in the class properties and set Max starts per team to 4 (5 with a reserve horse). One team per driver; the team members are the driver with each of the horses. Gives the horses. |
- Give the team class the same class number as the result class followed by
:T. The list then finds it by itself. Another team class can be chosen in the list. - The driver's start number in the result class is printed as CNo.
- Every driver in the result class needs a team in the team class. A driver without a team is printed without horses and is reported under Check in Equipe.
- Results and prize money are taken from the result class only. Times entered in the team class are not used.
2. Custom fields
Add the fields under Show settings → Custom fields: in the group Horse or Person, press Add and fill in Key and Name. The key must be exactly as below; the name is free and is only what you see in Equipe. Type: String.
| On | Key | Suggested name | Example | Printed as |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Horse | hno | Horsenumber | 1A | The horse code before the
name. The number is the carriage: 1A → Carriage 01. Use the driver's World Cup number, the same
letters as on the declaration. |
| Horse | pos | Position (LL/RL/LW/RW) | LL | The position in the four-in-hand: LLleft leader, RLright leader, LWleft wheeler, RWright wheeler. Leave it empty for the reserve horse. |
| Person | groom1 | Groom 1 | Emma Olsson | Under the driver: Grooms Emma Olsson / Wannes Larsen. |
| Person | groom2 | Groom 2 | Wannes Larsen |
A horse without position is printed with a red ? last in the
four-in-hand, so it is easy to see what is missing. Fill in
pos on the horse and open the list again.Each horse should have its own horse record. Do not share one horse between drivers – the fields are stored on the horse, so a shared horse gets the same position and code for everyone.
3. Prize money and officials
- Prize money: the result class's properties → Prize money (e.g.
5900, 4450, 3450, 3200, 2700, 2450). The header shows the sum, each placed driver their amount and the bottom the prize money paid. - Ground jury: the result class's properties → Officials, type Ground Jury President and Ground Jury for the members. They are printed at the bottom of the result with a line for the signature.
- Date and time: the result class's properties → Where and when → Date and Time HH:MM.
4. Logos
- Top left: the show's logo in Equipe. Change it on the show and the list follows.
- Top right: the FEI Driving World Cup logo of the leg. It is chosen by the Arena of the result class (properties → Where and when → Arena, e.g. Stockholm). The logos are kept by Showoffice – if the list shows No World Cup logo for …, send the leg's logo to Showoffice.
5. Opening and printing the list
- Install the extension 4 in hand on the show: Show settings → Extensions.
- Go to the result class (or the team class) and choose Extensions → 4 in hand.
- Check the classes in the two drop-downs and choose Starting order, Result or Both. Under Fields you can turn parts of the list on and off for this printout – CNo, carriage number, positions, horse codes, grooms, nation, prize money, ground jury signatures, sponsor and logos. Filled buttons are shown; the choice applies to Print and PDF and is remembered in the browser.
- Read the box Check in Equipe. It lists horses without position, drivers without grooms and drivers without a team. The box is never printed.
- Print (A4, 100 %) or Download PDF.
- FEI results (Excel) gives FEI's result file for the competition, filled in from Equipe: one row per driver with the FEI IDs, the four horses, round 1 and drive-off (net time and penalties), ranking and prize money. It needs the drivers' and horses' FEI IDs in Equipe (imported with the entries) and the FEI event ID on the result class. Send it to the FEI Driving department.
For security the ticket from Equipe is not kept in the address. After a reload, open the list again from Equipe.
