<div>It's completely possible - I work on a software project, and a few years ago as part of his masters degree work one of my developers wrote a program to go on a PDA that would allow the judges to enter scores using the touch screen; as soon as the flight was finished the judge could review the scores, and then send them back wirelessly to the scoring computer.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It got him and his grad school team an 'A'; they got through the prototype stage, but never turned it into a real product. No reason it couldn't though... if you could beat the logistics and training issues. <br>

<p>What do you guys think about using the iphone as a judge aid? What if I pulled my iPhone out and used the inclinometer app (i like "clinometer", very easy to see the numbers in the daylight) to aid in judging 45's and lines in general? Would the fliers I am judging revolt?<br>
<br>I also plan on having the rulebook accessible as well.<br><br>There was talk a while back about using it as a scoring tool, that would be great but someone needs to write the app....<br><br>You won't see me doing this till next year, looks like my season is over due to my son's wedding in a couple weeks and then work travel on top of the PHX contest. <br>
<br>Anyway, food for thought.</p></div></div>
