OK I think I am really close. I located a QC project that will display the text but I am stuck on what patch to add to rotate through the comma separated text. I attached what I have so far. Ideally I would like each section of the comma separated text to be displayed for about 10 seconds displaying the default headers of JUDGE,,TIME,,EVENT/NOTES,,LOCATION,,FLOOR. Any idea what patch I need to add and where. Thanks again to the list for all your help.
