[NSRCA-discussion] Fact............

[Gene Maurice]

Derek, 

The scoring system that I wrote already does this. Not automatically, but
one click and the system will upload the database to a central location on
the internet. The trick is to get people to do it.

The biggest difference are the numbers - how many pattern pilots in
Australia that fly in contests versus the number of contests and pilots that
fly in the US?

Don't get me wrong on this - I've been advocating a centralized scoring
system for many years - we have the technology and my scoring program allows
one to export data.  If a smart guy with lots of time can devise a scoring
program to do this automatically and export data, send it via the Internet
to a centralized location and then on the receiving end to upload the data -
please see me.  :)

Well...you guys sure crack me up!

Lots of discussion.

If a bunch of Aussies can implement and use a (central) system, which we
have been using for many, many years....surely you Guys have the technology
as well? Now all you need to do is work on the National average idea and
percentage promotional values thereof <VVBG> :)

Respectfully

Tom

If the application can update a contest results web page then we would have
a national center for viewing results.  Since all districts publish this
anyway, it would just be a matter of redirecting people to the central
system.  I think after a short retraining period it would not be a problem.
