[NSRCA-discussion] More Pattern vs IMAC

[Pete Cosky]

I've been in touch with IMAC about their site and how it works...it's a heavily customized version of a CMS platform and the data of the contestants is manually checked from uploaded files. They do however use one scoring software to minimize the work.

  This is actually a pretty amazing site and we would do extremely well to try and pursue something like this.   I have to believe that Jim could create the export file from PACSS very easily.the trick will be how that gets uploaded.  We would need to use AMA numbers as a unique ID for each Pilot so we don't end up with 4 misspellings of the same person, but that would be simple

   

  The best part is all the data that would be available to the pilot.  National and regional averages on a maneuver by maneuver basis.  It would be nice for analyzing your own scores.

   

  The contest registration could be huge too, though I can see the downside in that a contest that has poor early registration, may end up with even less attendance since that might dissuade even more from coming, but overall it would be a tremendous asset.

  That is awesome!  I wonder if we could borrow some of the technology from them to do that for pattern?

  I love the way the question I posed about adding an unkown to pattern has morphed into multiple topics, currently world championship judging :)

  One other nice idea that IMAC has implemented is in their contest management software.  As a member of the web team I would love to see us be able to do something similar (I have no idea what is involved).  I am sure this feature brings a lot more use to their website than we get.  Like we have, all of their contests are listed from their website.  However you can sign up for any contest in a uniform manner.  Some of our districts did or does have this feature but it is not uniformly implemented.  You can also see who is registered for a contest, how many people are going, how many in each class, etc.  Once the contest is complete the scoring program that they use generates a report that gets uploaded to the web as results for that contest.  This is a very interesting feature.  Final results with round scores including dropped rounds etc are posted.  If you click on your name or any pilot you will see all of their individual scores for the contest.  No need to rummage through scoring sheets to find yours.  You can see how you scored in each maneuver through the contest or compared to other fliers.
  An example of their contest results page.
