Run this list with the production operator before the first start and after changing to a new race file.

- The production computer clock is accurate.
- The race is linked to the correct event.
- Result sets, groups, heats, courses, and crossings exist.
- Required racer fields are public and flag values are clean.
- Every output URL matches the intended output number.
- Each browser source matches the width and height in Broadcast Settings and uses a transparent background.
- Course Setup distances and the Timing Points filter are correct.
- Automatic view behavior has been rehearsed with timing data.
- Every graphic has been previewed and deliberately published.
- Clear was tested only on a spare output.
