Re: Prevent races with many candidates snaking to the next column

Greg,

 

    The system should be placing a race in a single column if it will fit. Only if the race will not fit in one column will we let it scroll between two columns.  If you have a database that is not doing this please sent it to bugtrack.

Subject: Prevent races with many candidates snaking to the next column

BS 4-1-3

A method to have a long race start on the next column in order to have the whole race in one column.

If the race has too many candidates to fit on one column some of the candidates snake to the next column.  Solution is to have the race take up two columns via Options in Race Editor but then that screws up the OS ballot. 

Like to see long races start on next column with even distribution of candidates if longer than one column.
