Duke City Deadeye Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Sorry if this has been hashed out already--I couldn't find anything. But--- I just saw an app "CAS Scoring". Does anyone have experience with this? It looks more tailored than Practiscore and pretty good but only has 2 reviews. With ACES not being supported any longer and only capable on older ios systems, what are clubs doing? Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrel Cody Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Practiscore has match templates that makes it a lot like ACES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Devil Dale Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 We use the CAS Scoring system, that you refer to. It is provided by CAS shooter, Tex Wayland. It's an excellent system, now used by a number of clubs, without complaints. It has a number of nice features. If you want to see the output, take a look at the monthly scores from either Kings River Regulators at kingsriverregulators.com, or scores from the Western Regional, on chorrovalleyregulators.com. They show two different output detail styles. Here's a link to CAS Scoring. https://www.facebook.com/groups/CowboyActionScoring/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redleg Reilly, SASS #46372 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Still using ACES on our ipads/phones/Kindles, etc. Have Practiscore if we even need to upgrade the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major BS Walker Regulator Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Have used ACES for years but my old iPads are starting to fail. Have used Practiscore on about 6 matches now with good results. Used CAS Scoring last week at the match for the first time to try after playing with it at home to learn it by creating a mock match. Both work great. Practiscore looks identical to ACES on the pad but has some small quirks that ACES doesn't have. With CAS Scoring I like the enter times page for the match better and I like the better match results details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a few upgrades that some NC Cowboys and Cowgirls requested. The guys that created this APP are really good to work with if you encounter an issue that needs to be addressed. The last update was today Version 1.12.1. It only works on Apple devices. Click on the following link for a great tutorial. https://www.casregistration.com/rfile/253/ It has just been updated to work on 32 bit and 64 bit Apple devices.

Duke City Deadeye Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Thanks to everyone for their input. I didn't pick up on the limitation of CAS Scoring to Apple devices in my previous reading. Does anyone know if there are any plans to expand to Android in the future? There are several of our members that rely on Android devices. Again, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 For you folks using Practiscore, are you able to download score data from the device using a common format (ie PDF, Word, Excel)? or are you just posting to the Practiscore website? Not really crazy about their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Two features of Practiscore I haven't tried yet. First is allowing multiple scoring devices to autosync via wifi during the match. Software is supposed to keep all scores synchronized so there is no loss of data if a device fails. In theory you could have a spare device that could be immediately put into play if one posse's device failed. Supposed to allow for shooters that are shooting through to be scored on the device at each posse vice having to use a paper score card. Second is creating an account on their website and having the scores uploaded in real time. The theory is that if a device dies for any reason none of the previous scoring would be lost. In theory this would eliminate the need for paper score cards as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Another nice feature of Practiscore is that it automatically maintains an audit trail. If a score is changed after the shooter reviews it the software will flag that score was changed and a general why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just started using PS. We almost found out for better or worse the first time we used it. The batteries went FAST because people were leaving the screens on (learning curve thingy). So I bought battery backup pack & cords for about $12 each......just in case. One day maybe I'll run an extra pad and see what happens if it dies.

Batteries on my Kindle Fires now last 5 hours easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moog Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 i bought the ipad6 from Walmart. 250 and the battery lasts all day and then some. Hernando county regulators has battery problems too. Dont know what it is about this ipad but i can leave it on and not plugged in for a week sometimes.I ran practiscore and CAS Scoring and didn't see a difference on the battery usage. Im kinda partial to CAS Scoring. I justt asked and they added the ASN export like 2 weeks later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Used Practiscore on a Kindle fire 7 to score the Cody Dixon match Saturday. Here are my observation / recomendations. If you are not actively using turn off wifi. Otherwise your device will send out "is anyone there" broadcasts at the highest power level and eat up the battery. If you are using wifi make sure you have plenty of signal. In the power settings force the device into low power mode. You will see ZERO impact in Practiscore's performance but the battery life is greatly extended. Set the screen saver to 1 minute. Even on max screen brightness this will save a of of battery. Remove any passwords required to come out of screen saver mode. My Kindle Fire 7 was on for a total of about 5 hours and only used 21% of the available battery capacity. It appears that the auto sync feature is limited to apple devices as the option was not available in the android version. You can submit problems and changes here https://practiscore.on.spiceworks.com/portal/tickets The folks at Practiscore are very open to suggestions.
