thru 409 are just identifiers that are used as the key to the class / schedule
data, it just happen to be the AMA class / schedule numbers. Go figure. You can
make those identifiers anything you want, at Contest Setup it asks you to “Name”
the classes. You can also assign any schedule to any class in your contest. The
way the system works today is that by default it assigns the AMA / FAI schedules
in effect as of the date of the contest. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Currently
the key to the schedules is the ID mentioned above and the schedule
effective date. You can create a new schedule without deleting the AMA schedule
by simply assigning a different effective date and then change the schedule
assigned to the class in Contest Setup. Part of the upgrade will be to add
and Organization identifier, ie. AMA, SPA, GBRCAA, MAAC, etc.. in addition then
it can default to the schedule in effect for that organization but still allow
you to select and assign any schedule. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Gene,<BR>The Schedule Maintenance appears to allow only
schedules between 401 and 409. Doesn't this mean you need to replace the current
AMA/FAI schedules in order to set up for SPA or a foreign county. Wouldn't you
lose your modified schedules with a PACSS update?<BR><BR>I think what Phil is
suggesting is an external text file that can be used to input the
schedules for any contest, foreign or domestic. If you provide the layout,
there are plenty of folks around the world that would keep their version up to
date and send you the file for inclusion in updates.<BR><BR>Here's the url for
the current British patterns: <A

<P class=MsoNormal>Happy New Year, Gene!!!<BR><BR>The SPA schedule will remain
the same for 2010. We will probably change it for 2011-2012. If we
do, I'll send the new patterns to you. How 'bout just making an app to let
us update the schedules ourselves. Would that be too much work for you, or
would it reduce your work every couple of years?<BR><BR>We sure do appreciate
the work you do on PACSS!!! I believe it is THE scoring program for SPA,
at least here in the Southeast...<BR><BR>At 08:04 AM 1/5/2010, you

en-us<BR><BR>All PACSS Users,<BR> <BR>I am in the process of making a
number modifications to PACSS. One of the changes is to make the use of
“foreign”, other than AMA / FAI, schedules easier to use. In order to do this I
need to know what are the Organizations and associated schedules that are being
used today. I have the SPA and Canadian schedules from last year but don’t know
if they are changing in 2010 so updated schedules from those two organizations
would be helpful.<BR> <BR>Any and all help would be greatly
