Conventionally, as described above, a number specifying a competitor such as a horse number, a car number, a boat number, or a frame number is entered on the mark sheet, and a number associated with the position where the competitor starts. (For example, in a boat race, the course number), it was not possible to vote.
For example, in a boat race, only a boat number can be voted. For this reason, there is no choice but to choose from a boat or a person and vote from that boat number. In boat racing, it is often said that the in-course advantage theory and the advantage of the quadrature, and often consider voting based on the course.
In boat racing, the start display is performed before the actual performance, and the course is taken, but at present, it is not possible to vote from the course. Therefore, the boat number is confirmed from the state of the boat, the technique of the person, and the course taken by the start display. It was necessary to vote, and it was difficult to vote directly from the course that was considered to be a relatively important factor.
This narrowed the voting range and reduced the voting opportunities for fans, which in turn reduced sales.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the object of the present invention is a number associated with a starting position such as a course number without caring about the number assigned to a competitor such as a boat number. Can be voted easily, and can also be voted with the course number etc. corresponding to the above starting position as a press, contributing to the expansion of voting opportunities for fans and contributing to the improvement of sales width A voting ticket issuing method and a voting ticket issuing device are provided.

At present, the boat number is confirmed from the course taken by the start display and voted by the boat number, but in the present invention, voting is possible from the course number.
That is, as shown in FIG. 1, a check for voting from the course number on the mark sheet 1 is made so that the voting can be performed by the course number.
If the result of the start exhibition is confirmed before the voting ticket is released, you can see which course is which boat number. Therefore, register this result in the system, put a check to vote from the course number on the mark sheet, and vote for which course number, this course number is converted into a boat number, as shown in FIG. Voting ticket 2 by boat number is issued.
In addition, when issuing a voting ticket with a course number before the start exhibition, a check for voting from the course number is made on the mark sheet, and the number is entered on the mark sheet. Thereby, a voting ticket on which the course number is printed is issued.
When it is determined which course is which boat number by the start exhibition, the course and the boat number are linked, and when the voting ticket is refunded, the course number is converted into the boat number and the boat number is refunded.

In the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The course number assigned in association with the competitor's starting position is converted to the number assigned to each competitor, and a voting ticket is issued using the converted number as voting data. So you can easily vote from the course without worrying about the boat number. For this reason, there is no need to check the boat number and the like on the course, and it is possible to spend more time for voting.
(2) Since voting can be performed directly from the characteristics of the course merit, there is no need to check the boat number as before, and the possibility of purchasing with the course number as a new press spreads, which can contribute to increasing the sales range. .
(3) Since it is possible to vote from the course number, the range of voting is widened, and it can be expected to contribute to the expansion of voting opportunities for fans.

Hereinafter, although the case where the present invention is applied to a boat race will be described, the present invention can be similarly applied to other public competitions that can be voted with a number associated with a starting position such as a course number.
