[NSRCA-discussion] Quick question re: cellular data service at the fields where you compete

[Jay Marshall]

Probably don't need 3G service, just a wireless router with
computer-to-computer capability.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Quick question re: cellular data service at the
fields where you compete

 

I've been thinking about a "better way" to get scores into a system like
PACSS, given the general ubiquity of smart phones and the overall tech savvy
among the pattern crowd, I believe it should be possible for a judge or
scribe to very quickly enter scores for each maneuver into an iOS or Android
phone or tablet communicating via the cellular data network (typical data is
so small as to be VERY lightweight on data usage, so even Edge data services
would be quick enough to record scores) the interface would be designed for
very fast entry of a score (two taps per maneuver scored) with the interface
optimized for the screen size of phone or tablet.  

 

Here in California, I have yet to visit a field where I didn't have 3G data
service, but I realize California can be an outlier in such matters.  

 

So, of the fields where you have competed in the last year, how many had 3G
data service?  Edge? and No Data service?

 

How many of you have a smart phone and/or tablet?

 

Thanks!
