Yes there is a chance that a computer crash. I think that chance is the same with any of the scoring programs we have now. I used the system in a training section 3 weeks ago and worked fine. We had the usual issues or learning curve that is normal when starting to use a new program. My way to explain this is that we only changed the way to input the scores values in the scoring program. Just an interface was added to input the scores directly. That is all. If something goes very wrong with the electronic scribe/judging we always could go back to the old manual system. I believe that is going to improve many times the current procedure because there will be less chance of errors and because judges will more concentrated in judging than looking down to write the scores and trying to remember what maneuver is next. Here some recommendations for first time users:</span></div><div style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:0in;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464294172647_7458"><span style="" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464294172647_7457">1.
