Lot's of reading and information.
When I was Scorekeeper at the NATS I was playing with the idea of bar coding each scorecard. Shoot the card then enter the time and landing. But the pay was bad and I had better things to do with my time.
Good luck... Just find good data entry people. :-)

Does anyone have any experience using bar codes for score keeping purposes?
Can anyone direct me to information about using bar codes and a scanner to open cells in a spread sheet and entering data into those cells?
Can the information commonly found on a score card be printed as bar codes on a separate sheet of paper, the hand written card read by the data entry person and then the appropriate codes scanned from the pre-printed sheet into the correct cells on a spread sheet?
In short, does anyone have any information about using bar codes for score keeping purposes?
Has anyone determined that it is not worth the effort to attempt this task in this way?
