I was not thinking about modifying BOINC Manager itself. I was thinking of a standalone program which could be set up with the pentathlon particulars before the event started, and could interact with BOINC Manager to achieve the desired effects. (I was a professional software engineer for almost 40 years before I HAD to retire). I remember BOINC being particularly well endowed with external interfaces.time, I can usually prevail though.
Hi Adrian
No worries...
However, I'm unaware of any external interfaces that work with BOINC Manager directly, so that you can control what BOINC (the separate program) does.
BOINC Tasks (as Mark mentioned) comes close, but this is a BOINC Manager substitute and it is based on the BOINC open source code (I believe).
Source Code:

and
BOINC Tasks:

>>> a 5 day event held on non-consecutive days and then 4 multi-day events
Err, a little confused now, that is not how it worked this year. The "marathon" event was from the start to the end, ie. 14 days...
The events were:
Marathon - held over 14 consecutive days
City Run - held over 5 consecutive days
Cross Country - held over 5 consecutive days
Sprint - held over 3 consecutive days
(that's 4 multi-day events)
and:
Javelin (featuring WCG) took place over 5 different non-consecutive days within the 14 day "window".
So, it did take place as I described - you have assumed that my mention of a "5 day event" related to the Marathon (which it didn't).

If you look at our old page, boincdenmark.dk, you will find a travel site for visitors to Holland.
Don't get excited. I had to retire from software engineering in 2008 when I had a heart attack and died for 46 minutes. All stuff I do now takes me a long time, I can usually prevail though.
If the original registered owner of boincdenmark.dk did not renew it, then the domain name is then up for grabs and marketing firms grab it, for their own advertising purposes...and that's what has happened to it.
We had the same problem with ukboincteam.com (which was registered by another, now inactive, member). And when he didn't renew the domain name, it was bought/taken over by a US seller of domain names...and they wanted something like $15,000 for it.
As the "owner" of both ukboincteam.org.uk and ukboincteam.co.uk, I emailed them and asked if they would reassign it to me, as the domain name is so specific, it cannot be used by anyone else. They agreed and transferred it to me for FREE.
So, maybe if you register "boincdenmark.COM" (which is available) you can ask the current rights holder of the ".DK" version if they will reassign it to you? Or maybe just use the boincdenmark.com domain as it's quite a nice domain name to have.
You could even register boinc-denmark.dk (with the extra hyphen)...
re: stats
Fair enough - I just mentioned it in case you fancied doing something positive/helpful to wile away the time
