J2Chrono results service program has been implemented in the Java language. It does not require an associate separate database. The only requirement for the use of the program is a Java Runtime Environment and for this reason the program works with nearly all operating systems. For more information, see article J2Chrono.
The purpose of this document is to clarify the basic characteristics of the program, thus enabling you to arrange a successful competition.
