<DIV>Here is the link to the program I am planing to use this year. The program is called PACSS. I don't know other CDs experience using the program. I know that this program has been used with very good results in many contest in my district. Check this link.</DIV>

<DIV>Gene Maurice can give you a lot more detailed explanation if you need more information. I have been checking the program and it is very ease to use. More important it is "free down load" I am not sure when the deal will end.</DIV>

<DIV>Possibly you may want to elaborate on that by sending an example of a spreadsheet as to how you would propose it.</DIV>

<DIV>Just FYI, I go to about 6-8 contest a year in D5 and D6. All of them are using computers for scoring. I am almost sure that you are referring to a single contest with very low participation. Probably, it is time to change.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks Chris:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No, don't think that is huge undertaking for a computer expert. The big work is already done since all the information is already in electronic form when we finish a contest. It is more difficult to develop the statistiscal model but looks like we already have one. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think NSRCA needs to have it as a goal. It will be good idea that the first requirement to be processed in the database is that the person needs to be a NSRCA certified judge. Probably, we will see more pilots not only be more willing to judge but also be certified. </DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=796172304-14122004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>HUGE undertaking, but the results would be fantastic. Imagine the ability to compare yourself to all judges across the country. Now that's motivation to better yourself at your craft.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=796172304-14122004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Hmmm..... At the same time, how about a national PILOT ranking system, similar to the one used in the USTA ( Tennis ). I believe they know their rank in their given class on a national basis. Might be kind of fun, and good for us guys who can't travel to the Nats! We could still be "competing" with guys from the other districts! </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
