first stage, from July 3 through 19,
eighteen input terminals and two highspeed
printers (one of them standby)
were used. The terminal operators
entered data from entry forms by
name which included—in the case of
competitors— name, surname, registration
number, country, sports and
events where the competitor in question
was supposed to participate,
weight, height, best performance,
qualifying result, etc. The entries for
technical officials indicated, besides
name, country and sport, also category
and some other information.
The system also provided for registration
of horses participating in
modern pentathlon and equestrian
events.
In the course of the registration,
daily progress reports were issued
automatically. The following lists were
issued to competition organisers and
officials to assist them in their
work:
— lists of competitors by sport
and by athlete's number;
— an overall list of technical officials
in alphabetical order;
— an overall list of competitors
by sport, event, country, and in alphabetical
order.

Once the registration in a particular
sport was over, final lists of competitors
were issued and magnetic
tapes with data for the participant
brochures in each sport were prepared.
After all the competitors had been
registered, information was prepared
for the issue of an overall book listing
competitors and team officials.
The processed entry forms made
the "Competitors" data base. The system
automatically assigned a number
to each athlete under which he or she
was later listed in each score sheet.
The information contained in the competitors
data base was used by the
results service for start lists and results
lists and by the inquiry system to
give replies to queries about competitors.
Three input terminals for possible
alterations in the competitors data
base and four inquiry terminals to
supply information to the inhabitants
of the Olympic Village were left at the
second stage of registration. The highspeed
printers were reset for
score sheets. The other terminals were
distributed over Olympic venues.
