<DIV>Exactly. With 12 finger size buttons and an 'enter'. 0-10 and a
.5 button. Very quick and hitting enter finalizes. Enter with no score
button is Not Observed and then at the end you review the scoresheet, make
any corrections you want and hit enter one more time. Arresti at the
bottom for reference. <BR><BR>Sent from my iPhone4S</DIV>

[NSRCA-discussion] Quick question re: cellular data service at the
fields where you compete<BR></DIV></FONT>
<DIV>
<DIV class=h5><BR>
<DIV>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.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So, of the fields where you have competed in the last year, how
many had 3G data service? Edge? and No Data service?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>How many of you have a smart phone and/or tablet?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks!</DIV>
