It looks like with development it may be a way to go. But to this computer challenged individual, it sure looks like more reasons to look away from a maneuver to manipulate the device. I would suggest that you do a lot of testing during practice sessions instead of at a contest. Just my opinion.<div><br></div><div>Tony</div><div><br><div><div>On May 31, 2012, at 3:37 PM, Derek Koopowitz wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">Peter,<div><br></div><div>I'll have my iPad there so I'm interested - mine is wireless only - I need to tether to my Android phone or to a hotspot to get internet access.</div><div><br></div><div>I have a couple of questions though...

The goal is to save time on the scoring computer side and make judging a little more straight-forward and possibly less subjective. </div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">I think the app is ready for a real-world trial in contest conditions. At Sac I spoke to Dick Belden about using Oakdale as a proving ground and he was amenable. My thinking is that for this contest we'll do things both ways -- paper and iDevice for those willing to judge with the app, paper only for those who want to stick with paper. You can either score with the iDevice and then quickly transcribe the scores from the "review" screen (screenshots below) or vice-versa, score on paper and then transcribe to the iDevice (it runs on iPads too). I would prefer that you score with the iDevice as that would allow me to get your feedback on the interface, etc. The intent is to make it possible to have your finger hit just 2 or 3 buttons while scoring so you don't need to look away from the sky...</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">If you are interested in participating with your device, read below so that I can get you a package that you can drop into iTunes to transfer to your device (it's not on the app store yet) if you don't have an iDevice but are willing to try it, I can loan you one of mine. </div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Oh, and of course, this is all at the CD's discretion, as a contestant, if you don't want to be scored by iDevice, that's your perogative, but I'd be very interested in why you don't want it and if there's something I can do to make it more palatable to you. </div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span><2012-05-31_1243.png></span><span><2012-05-31_1245.png></span><span><2012-05-31_1247.png></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Yes, I know FAI doesn't do 1/2 points, this is just a quick illustration!</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">To get my app on onto your iDevice I need some information about your phone.
