Intrigued: how do you propose people use their cell phones to
retrieve score-status-results mid-way during the contest?<br>

<div>You can't use the scoring computer to render the scoreboard
unless it has dual monitor outputs. You also don't need a
scoreboard, people could just use their phones.</div>

<div>I believe the direction Peter is going is to use his app in
conjunction with Master Scoring. MS has the reports, Nat's
scheduling, matrix and TBL. He wants his system to be used at
the Nat's and the easiest way to do that is interface with
MS. His "adaptor" then just has to manage the iPods. You can
run a local contest with just his software, but setup and
reporting may be easier with MS. </div>

<div>I'm not sure if my prior post-attempts made it to
everyone, so some of this may be a repeat:<br>
<br>
First, I'm not in favor of a district-shared printer.
I've had two printers go to dry-ink conditions from lack
of constant use, which would be a very likely scenario
between contest seasons for D1. While new ink cartridges
easily resolves this issue, via purchase immediately
prior to a contest, the dry ink within the printer can
be challenging to recover from. <br>
<br>
Second, having experience running a contest essentially
by myself, I am intrigued if the Vogel system could ease
my workload with score-entry. If a local WiFi needs
to be set up to enable it, this presents the problem of
wifi distance/range limitations or requirements.
Site-specific arrangements will need to be considered.
My site probably has too great of distances to
effectively use Wifi due to electric source via
generator arrangement (which is set up to support local
in-place structures that are intentionally far away from
the flight line). Therefore, is there a long-wired
option with the Vogel system to consider? <br>
<br>
As you recall, at my last hosted-event, I used an
erasable marking board, which seams to satisfy pilot's
thirst for placement info entering the last few rounds.
I use the Master Scoring software which will very easily
generate each pilot's data and statistics for the entire
event that can easily be emailed to anyone requesting
their info.<br>
<br>
Regarding Raspberry Pi: why bother with a Pi if we're
already bringing laptops to the event, for software
scoring purposes, which could also display on the big
screen TV via HDMI port? On the flip side, if Scott
Smith's Master Scoring program could be made to work on
the PI, then PI would be another smaller package and
cheaper alternative versus bringing out a laptop or
desktop PC.<br>
I wonder if the Vogel system use a Pi and/or a PC
laptop/desktop ?<br>
