Scoreboards

ScoreManager has the capability to run four independent scoreboards with each showing different results from the competition. Each of the scoreboard can show results in one of three standard layout and can either display the results from a selected set of grades or automatically follow the grades being scored.

•Leaderboard

Displays a list of the names and scores for the highest placed athletes in the grade ranked in ascending place order i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, .... as well as the name and score of the last athlete who competed in the grade.The list will show as many athletes as can be displayed on the scoreboard but will always show the name and score of the last athlete irrespective of how many athletes there are in the list.

The names and scores shown on the scoreboard will be updated as the competition progresses with the time between updates determined by the settings specified for the scorebard.

•Scrolling Leaderboard

Displays a list of names and scores for all athletes in the grade ranked in ascending place order i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, .... as well as the name and score of the last athlete who competed in the grade. The list will scroll though all the athletes in the grade before returning to the top of the list before scrolling again. The name and score of the last athlete will always be shown.

The scores and placings shown on the scoreboard will be updated as the competition progresses with the rate of scroll and time between updates specified for the scoreboard

•Detailed Results

Displays a breakdown of the marks awarded to the athlete in each round. The scoreboard will rotate through the athletes in the order in which the scores are entered into ScoreManager which would generally be in the order of competition.

The time each result is shown on the scoreboard is dtermined by the settings specified for the scoreboard.

The combined formats are made up of two standard formats which run together. They are :

The settings for each scoreboard are specified using the screen in the following figure which shows the settings for Display Screen 1. The other Display Screens (scoreboards) use the identical screens.

Settings for Static Lists

Minimum time to display each list

the minimum time in seconds each list will be shown on the scoreboard before the next list is shown.

If there is no other list to show then the information on the current list will be updated and redisplayed continusouly until the scoreboard is closed.

Minimum time to display each athlete's result

the minimum time in seconds that each athlete's results will be shown at the bottom of the screen before the results for the next athlete is shown.

If there is not another athlete to show then the information will remain on the scoreboard.

Settings for Scrolling Lists

Minimum time to display each list	the minimum time in seconds each list will be shown on the scoreboard before the next list is shown. If there is no other list to show then the information on the current list will continue to be updated and scrolled until the scoreboard is closed.
Delay before scrolling starts	the time in seconds for which the first result in the list will be shown before the list beings to scroll towards the bottom
Delay after scrolling stops	the time in seconds for which the last result in the list will be shown before the list returns to the top
Speed of scroll	the time in seconds for which each result will appear at the top of the list before it disappears as a result of the scroll. Setting a higher value here will result in a slower rate of scroll.
Minimum time to display each athlete's results	the minimum time in seconds that each athlete's results will be shown at the bottom of the screen before the results for the next athlete is shown. If there is not another athlete to show then the information will remain on the scoreboard.

The optimal number of seconds for each of these settings will depend upon the number of athletes in the grade being displayed. If a grade has a large number of athletes and large delays are used with a slow rate of scroll, the scoreboard may not reach the bottom of the list before the results for the next grade are displayed. Unfortunately it is not possible to specify different settings for each grade and different combinations of values may need to be tried in order to get the best compromise. If the grade has only a few athletes and they can be all shown on the the screen at once, the scoreboard will not appear to scroll at all.

Settings for Detailed Results

Minimum time to display each result

the minimum time in seconds that each result will be shown before the result for the next athlete is shown.

If there is not another result to show, the screen will go blank after this time and until the next result is entered into ScoreManager

Specify the Grades to Show in this scoreboard

Automatically Display Grades

ScoreManager will automatically display the results from the disciplines ticked.

The grades in these disciplines will appear on the scoreboard in the order in which the results are entered into ScoreManager. For example if results for grades in the following order

Mens 15-16 TRA

Womens 13-14 DMT

Womens 17+ TRA

Mens 11-12 Tum

Mens 10&U DMT

the scoreboard will show the results for these grades in the same order

Display Selected Grades

ScoreManager gives the option of selecting which grades are to be displayed on the scoreboard.

Specific grades can be selected to be shown on a particular scoreboard allowing scoreboards to be used to display the results from different grades in the same discipline. For example one scoreboard could be showing all of the men's tumbling grades whilst another scoreboard could be showing all of the women's tumbling grades.

To select the grades to be displayed, open the screen shown below and select the grade, or grades, to display by clicking on their name in the list on the left in order to highlight them. Next click on the button Move Right and the names of the selected grades will appear in the list on the right. It is the results for the list of grades on the right which will be shown on the scoreboard.

The results for the selected grades will not necessarily appear on the scoreboard in the order shown in the right hand list, rather they will appear on the scoreboard in the order in which their results are entered into ScoreManager.

If a mistake is made or a grade is no longer to be displayed, click on its name in the list on the right and then on the button Move Left. The grade will disappear from the list on the right and will no longer be shown on this scoreboard.

The grades from which to select can be changed by clicking on the discipline buttons and grades from different disciplines can be mixed together and shown on the same scoreboard.
