IVR (Incremental Velocity Rating) is provided by Daily Sectionals. It looks at raw times and then incorporates factors such as, but not limited to: wind condition, track surface on the day from 1200m to finish, winner’s profile on the day – which Lane/part of the track in home straight, race shape – fast/even/slow pace and major slowdown/acceleration mid-race. The IVR number you see is essentially a measurement in lengths. For example: Winx might return an IVR figure of +11.5 for winning the Cox Plate. This means Winx ran 11.5 lengths above the benchmark standard. The purpose of IVR figures is to line up performances across different tracks at different points in time. In this example, Winx’s +11.5 rating is an overall figure.
What is the exact interval for a monthly subscription, i.e. is it 30 days?
With a daily subscription, payments are triggered every 24 hours. A day is always 24 hours, so this is no issue. But what about months where the number of days differs?
The amount of time between a monthly billing interval is one month. This means 30 days for some months (April, June etc.), 31 days for others, and then 28 or 29 days for February. If a monthly subscription is created on the 15th of February, the next payment will be charged on the 15th March. If the billing interval for a subscription is every 2 months and it is created on the 15th of February, the next payment will be charged on the 15th April.
What about subscriptions purchased on the last day of the month?
If a subscription is purchased on the last day of the month, recurring payments will continue to be charged on the last day of the month. For example, if a $10 / month subscription is purchased on the 31st December, its next 4 payments will be charged on:
- 31st January
- 28th February (or 29th February for a leap year)
- 31st March
- 30th April
RAPRO System and Hardware Requirements (Desktop Computer or Laptop)
• Microsoft Windows 10, 11 (64bit)
• 8 GB RAM or greater
• Microsoft Office Excel 365 or greater
• Solid State (SSD) Hard Drive
• Intel i7 CPU/AMD Ryzen 7 or Higher (ARM processors are not currently supported)
• Internet Connection
1. Why do I require a Solid-State hard disk?
A solid-state hard disk is required to maintain the minimum performance of the RAPRO database. The older style spinning disk type solution is too slow to read substantial amounts of data from the database, which cause excessive waiting times whilst viewing form and performing analysis.
2. Can I run RAPRO on a virtual machine?
RAPRO can run on a virtual machine, provided the main PC meets the minimum requirements. In the event the Virtual Machine does not operate as it would on a non-virtual machine with RAPRO, support is not provided as part of the standard service, and an additional consultation service fee will apply to support the setup.
3. Can I run RAPRO whilst not connected to the internet?
Currently, RAPRO will not work if offline from the internet due to the licensing check process.
5. Can RAPRO be installed on my work machine?
RAPRO requires administrative rights to install on any machine. Currently, a personal license does not support installation on company work machines unless approved by the organization’s IT department. Additional setup costs apply to setup on non-personal machines as they require additional time and effort in collaboration with the organisation’s IT department.
6. Will RAPRO work if I bring my laptop to work and connect to the company’s wireless service?
Depending on the organization’s wireless settings, certain ports and filters may be blocked and in place which prevents RAPRO from checking the licensing service and downloading data. Therefore, this scenario is not covered within the standard support of the platform. It is recommended to hotspot from your mobile phone if the wireless network you are on has restrictions in place.
