SD directly supports the European Sprint. SD is freeware
from www.ei5di.com, and runs on any Windows PC.

Here's the setup for the SSB event on 2nd October

Select SD Type 12 - EU Sprint
Mode           : SSB
Points per QSO : 1
Name           : your name - as given in each QSO

You can make things easier for yourself by making up
a reference file (with a .LST suffix) of callsigns and
names from previous Sprints. When you enter a matching
callsign, SD extracts the name and places it in the
Name field on the logging line.

The .LST file is a normal text file - you could call it
SPRINT.LST.  Here is the format

G1AB  Fred
LY2AA  Arunas

Separate the callsigns and names by one or more spaces,
and load your .LST file (after SD has started) with
the LOAD command.

Use Esc to clear any incorrect name.

73,
Paul EI5DI
