Score!

Score!

What It Is:

This program is designed for keeping score at aerobatic contests, predominantly for the International Miniature Aerobatics Club (IMAC).

The program was last updated February 6th, 2012 to fix a serious bug when calculating the result report in which (under the right circumstances) the report would not be displayed. (It was caused when "higher" classes did not fly unknown sequences but lower classes did.) Its version number is 3.4.

The previous program update was January 22nd, 2012 to fix a bug when importing pilot data from the "allpilots" history file, if AMA numbers were omitted. Its version number was 3.3.

What You Need:

1. Computer, Printer and Mouse

You can use just about any computer that runs Java, including any Windows, Macintosh or Linux computer, plus a printer and mouse. I don't provide any of that...

2. Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

To run this program, you'll need to have the Java Runtime Environment installed on your computer.

3. The Program and Supporting Files

See the section below for available versions. Click on one of the buttons to download the entire program and all supporting files.

Make sure you save the downloaded "zip" file to a (new) folder on your computer and unzip the contents before running the program. The download is about (only) 1MB and includes everything, with both* sets of sequence definition files for the 2012 season.

(* = see below for a comment about the alternate sequence set.)

4. Alternate Sequence Definitions

The standard sequence definition files are already included as part of the main program download. However, if your contest if flying the "alternate" sequences (or if you need a fresh copy of the files), you can scroll to the bottom of this page and download the alternate sequence definition files.

5. Score Sheets

A significant part of the contest is capturing the scores. The official current year's score sheets are included at the IMAC website. Also, for convenience, downloads of the score sheets are included below.

6. Technical Support

All technical support is free. I'm interested in all comments or questions about the program. If you'd like to contact me, my email address is: dave at dave232.com

Two Very Important Notes

To install the program, copy the files from the compressed folder (i.e., the ZIP file) into a normal folder (that is NOT compressed). The program will NOT run while compressed.
To run the program, do ONE of the following:
- double-click on the file "score.jar", OR
- right-click on it and select "run/open with Java", OR
- double-click on one of the "run" files (depending on your operating system), OR
- contact me for help.

* - Alternate Sequences

Some locations are required to alter the sequences due to airspace or other constraints. If your contest has been advised to eliminate rolling circles, please use the alternate sequences.

Both sets of sequence definition files happen to be already included with the main download (using the green button above). However, the alternate download has the sequence definition file names swapped to use the alternates by default (for your convenience).

Download the main program and upzip its contents into a (new) folder.
Download and unzip the alternate sequences file into the same folder.
