Scoring Example

In our example, gymnast Kathryn Malison of Team Canada is competing on the Vault. Her number is 101. The judge’s scores are written on an audit slip then the Vault’s Head Judge enters the information into the “wireless” Palm Pilot Score Data Entry.

Judges Score Slip

   

Palm Pilot Score Entry

The scoring entry sequence looks like this:

 
 

Once the gymnast number and the two judges scores are entered into the Palm Pilot, the average is displayed. By pressing the ENTER key one last time the scores are sent to the central scoring computer.  Should the information be entered in wrong, the ABORT key can be used to start the sequence over. The ND=0 indicates there was no neutral deduction. At this point in the sequence, touching 1, 2, or 3 will enter a .1 or .2 or .3 neutral deduction to be sent with the score.

Scores are sent Wirelessly to Scoring Computer

 

The gymnast number and both judge scores are transmitted to the scoring computer running Score Master and Elite Wireless.  When the scores arrive an audible tone will sound and the information will appear on the main screen of Elite Wireless.

Score arrives at Scoring Computer

The scores are written directly to the Score Master database. The Score Master program does not have to be running for the scores to be recorded in Score Master. 

To verify that the score were written to Score Master, use the Speed Score feature in Score Master to take a look!

Only after the scores are safely written to Score Master are they ready to be sent to the scoreboard.Scores are staged in the “score bucket” and released based on the time set for the “Display Update Interval”. This assures every competitors score is displayed for the precisely the same amount of time.  You always know how many scores are ready to be displayed from the “score bucket” by checking the “Number of scores yet to be displayed” indicator.

Score is now sent Wirelessly to EliteScore Board

Once the score is transmitted to the scoreboard, the MDX Series boards will display the score in accordance with the display options initially set. 

For our example gymnast, Kathryn, her vault scores would appear as follows:

 

“All- Wireless operation for quick and easy set-up absolutely no wires to run!”
