Contest scoring

[Lance Van Nostrand]

If a PDA solution is compared to an 11" long pad, where all the scores are easily visible/reviewable at a glance, the PDA comes up short.  Accounting for the case where there is a missing score is most easily done with the pad approach.  
  However, if the PDA is used to eliminate runners, or to send raw scores to lit up scoreboards, the the scribe can copy the paper version to the PDA as a secondary operation.

  A PDA for the judge may be simpler than first thought. We would need three basic buttons, 1 and also  1/2 deduct buttons and a score button. These are the only 3 buttons that would be used during the flight and the scores would be recorded by the PDA? If we had a way to input a three digit number designating class and pilot number the PDA could print the final score sheet.
