Re: [RCSE] MOM scoring software

[Raschow]

Take a look at  <>.  It works well for us in  
the ESL.  It can even be made to support seeded man-on-man by selecting the  
seeded groups manually from the cumulative standings after each round and then 
 entering the seeded group # along with each contestants score (overriding 
the  randomly generated group # by the program) in the subsequent round.  Good  
Lift!

I'll get to that after I steal Bob Schiedt's brain and map it into a 
neural network, fashion a bust of his head, install a computer inside of 
it, and have it eat people's scoresheets at contests.  You *do not* want 
to see where the printer goes!


All kidding aside, this appears to be a topic that induces much 
head-scratching and hand-wringing.  Suprising then, that I didn't find 
much info or many examples via Google.  Then again, the word "mom" is 
too generic, and "man-on-man" brings up some REALLY interesting sites.  
In the end, I'll be sure to share with the group what I find.


(And for those of you wondering, the scoring at the MidSouths isn't up 
to me - I'm just interested in how people do it, and being a web 
developer/programmer, I salivate at a good complicated design challenge)

Re: [RCSE] MOM scoring software

Many attempts at doing MOM with computer fail because of adequate 
preparation and backup process, always in case the first fails.


I am a firm believer that a MOM contest can be run quicker than 
manual scoring.  I just have not seen the software that can do it yet.


With larger displays getting cheaper I can see a contest as large as 
the NATS to be run as a seeded MOM contest.


It's possible.

Now Ben we expect to see a report on the variety of scoring 
information you have acquired. :-)

Ben,
The best program for seeded MOM is a good calculator and someone who 
is good with math and has a good attention span.  Bob Schiedt comes 
to mind.  There have been attempts but with the scoring and seeding, 
no one has got it to work like you would want it to and like you can 
with cards and the right person or two can do.


Not the answer you wanted, but I have watched guys try to work this 
out on a computer and all they did was cause a constipated contest.

[RCSE] MOM scoring software

[Ben Wilson]

Anyone have any scoring software or Excel sheets that handle MOM 
scoring?  I've trolled through the RCSE Archives 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/soaring@airage.com/) and found only a few 
scattered comments.


Anyone care to point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
