[NSRCA-discussion] Are we behind the times?

>From a judge's perspective, it would be interesting how many scores would be missed by such a gizmo when a judge was napping and forgot to jot his score down. I certainly hope it is a very small percentage, and better be approaching zero

On the other hand, a gizmo like that would probably keep judges on their toes too which is a good thing

I’ve been talking about this for years.  If there was a simple electronic scoreboard posting raw scores, it would make for a much better spectator sport.  Yes, there would be some booing as a snap was scored or zeroed, but I’m not sure that that’s a bad thing.  I might find it to be disruptive to hear all the laughing, but I’d get used to it.  Heck, I am used to it :)

I can only imagine the cries when a wrong maneuver is flown and everyone but the judges know it.

There is a thread on RCU under the "Classic Pattern Flying" forum about the team selection in 1972.  Way back then they were posting real time scores of pilots as they flew - apparently they had a "reporter" that looked over the judges shoulders as they scored each maneuver and then radioed them to someone that posted/wrote the scores of each maneuver as they were flown onto a poster size scoresheet attached to a board. 
 
With the technology available to us today I would love to see this at future contests - can you just imagine all the "oohhhss and aahhhs" from the spectators.  :)
