How about a big display behind each judge so everyone can see the scores in<br>
realtime?<br>

interesting approach. You could also use on of the <$300 7" "laptops" which<br>
have built in WiFi. Add Skype to it and another laptop on the scorekeeper's<br>
stand to send/receive voice and you could have an interesting, low cost,<br>
system. Could even put the correct maneuvers on the judges system.<br>

We could also use an iTouch. The apps run on either, but the iTouch doesn't<br>
have 3G. Yes, the app could also announce the maneuvers thru a headset to<br>
the judge; but whose voice to use?? Hmmmmmm. . . .<br>
<br>
Someone would have to figure out how to use the WiFi to download the scores<br>
since the iTouch doesn't have 3G. . . peer-to-peer WiFi setup with the<br>
scorekeepers laptop?<br>
<br>
. . .or another, probably more manageable solution would be to use the USB<br>
cable on the iTouch or iPhone to download the scores. That may be an easier<br>
solution than trying to figure out how to get the app to talk over the<br>
internet or WiFi to the scorekeepers 'puter.<br>
<br>
If we don't have guys that can write the app, I know there is a cottage<br>
industry of companies that write apps. Maybe it would be easier to hire some<br>
long-haired hippie types to write the app.<br>
<br>
I'm interested to hear from the guys on the list that do IT stuff<br>
professionally to let me know how feasable this idea is.<br>

You could have it call maneuvers, wait for a score voice captured, then call<br>
next maneuver.<br>

<br>
Has anyone thought about developing an app for use while judging? I was<br>
thinking something similar to the calculator app, but with additional<br>
buttons to scroll thru the maneuvers. The iPhone is small enough to hold in<br>
your line of sight as you punch in each maneuver score, and the scores could<br>
be forwarded with either the 3G, WiFi, or bluetooth.<br>
<br>
Obviously some issues would be having enough iPhone's show up at a<br>
contest, keeping them charged thru the day, and managing the data flow to<br>
the scorekeeper.<br>
<br>
Could the scores be sent back to the NSRCA web site from each iPhone and<br>
then the scorekeeper just access a web page for the results? Can the web<br>
site host the scoring software in this manner?<br>
<br>
Of course. . .<br>
