Scoring APP or Program

[Col Del Rio]

What electronic program do the clubs use for scoring? Is it an XL? Something special? Apple?

My local club now uses Practiscore.  Timers pair with tablets issued to each posse. This eliminates transcription errors.

Practiscore.  Has a bit of a learning curve but easy to use once you get the hang of it. 

 

It's funding and development is paid for by the same companies that sponsor major shooting sports so unlike A.C.E.S. it isn't likely to become unsupported any time soon.

+1 for Practiscore, works perfect for me

Practiscore is more than a scoring application.  It can be used for registration (including payments), squad selection, and category selection.  Results remain on the Practiscore website though it will generate a pdf file for posting on a club website.  There are videos on YouTube showing how to use Practiscore.  I have a free account on Practiscore that allows me to register for matches.

How do you handle registering for non-cowboy matches vs cowboy matches? Basically real name vs alias?

 

I like Practiscore, this is my big unknown for SASS.

You login using your email address. When the match director sets up the match they can set the info needed to register. Alias, SASS number, category, phone etc. 

 

Same occurs when you register for USPSA, Steel Challenge etc

We've started using Practiscore at many of the shoots here bouts. My only minor gripe is the scores that are emailed from it! They are micro size print and cut off the tenth stage. Minor overall.

My concern is since scores are public, I do not want to give the scammers here a way to weed down aliases to real names. And for the match, how is a real name registration matched to an alias. Seems like an annoying bit of additional administration.

 

I do use practiscore for many sports, aliases is something I do not see an allowance for at the site. Basically a "show my name on the roster as ..."

The matching of names to alias is automatic when the match is set to SASS Cowboy Action or Wild Bunch. No extra time at all for MD or register. Scores are only public if your club uploads them to the Practiscore website, and it shows only alias 
 

I run the scoring for our separate monthly Wild Bunch, Cowboy Action and both NY State Championships WB and CAS. No one outside of the club admins can match your name to alias

My Practiscore account is registered under my legal name.  When signing up for a modern action match I edit my name to a common name people know me by.  The is the name that appears in the match scores.  My CAS club does not use Practiscore for registration.

Practiscore user here.  made a master template of all 9 stages, then clone and delete stages we aren't using.  Add the name of the match, and we're ready to go

 

One gripe is that as we add new categories (they call them something else, and I'm not at our tablets) they just go to the bottom of the list--haven't found a way to alphabetize them with the ones provided

 

small problem
