  1. NHOM Scoring 2002 The correct scores, on time!

  2. Needed revisions • 23 Appr Edit screen shot • 15 Needs IYM details screen

  3. Curriculum • History’s lessons • Our response • Instant Challenge is different • Data entry into the computer • General notes about scores • Scoring this year’s team challenges • Score Room Processes • The scoring program

  4. History’s Lessons • The purpose of the score room is to ensure accurate score calculations • The most error-prone part of the process is the hand calculation of the intermediate scores • Averaging judge scores for each score item • Combining score items

  5. Our Response • Changes to Team Challenge processing • Enter each appraiser’s scores directly into one computer • Number Cruncher’s scores entered into another • Score checking in the score room only for weight held totals • The computer will generate the Master and Team score sheets • These will go back to the challenge rooms

  6. Calculation flow: Master Score sheet Individual Appraisers scores Number Cruncher rolls up scores Math #1 Cross check scores Enter summary scores Data entry #1 Enter detail scores

  7. Instant Challenge is Different From Team Challenge • Instant challenges will still be combined by hand, due to security concerns • The hand calculations will be checked in the score room, as before • The summary Instant Challenge score for each team will be entered into the computer

  8. Data entry into the computer • In the morning, enter the appraiser info into the computer • Names • Which items each appraiser is scoring • The computer will accept scores for each item and each appraiser • It will then calculate the combined scores

  9. Score Ranges • Every score has a valid range, it is listed on the score sheet • Hopefully, this will limit out-of-range appraising errors • If a score is out of range, the score sheet must go back to the head judge • Use the “Issues” feature of the program • next session will go over this

  10. Types of Scores: Objective • Either something happened, or it didn’t • Scores noted with the keyword “OR”, e.g., “0 OR 10” • The only valid scores are those listed. • It is not a range of scores • If multiple appraisers score this item, their scores must match

  11. Types of Scores: Subjective • Appraiser’s opinion • Scores noted with a separating hyphen, e.g., “1-5” • Valid scores are anywhere in the specified range • There must be at least two appraisers scoring each subjective item • Multiple appraisers’ scores are averaged

  12. Subjective score exception: 0 • Is zero ever a legal score for a score with the range of 1-5? • Yes, if the item to be scored was not present in the team’s performance • Then the score becomes like an objective score, and all appraisers’ scores must be zero • The program enforces this rule • An explanation must accompany the score, which we enter into the program

  13. Deductions • Deductions must be accompanied by an explanation • This explanation must be legibly copied onto the team and appraisers’ score sheets • We enter the reason into the program • Remember to check the prep area and weigh-in sheets for deductions • If deductions do not agree, we need to ask the head judge

  14. Scoring this Year’s Team Challenges • It’s Your Move • On Holiday • Dual DI-lemma • StranDId! • Art of Improv

  15. Score Room Processes: Team Challenge scores • All incoming scores will be logged in • Scores will be entered into two computers • First from the master score sheet • Second from the individual appraisers’ sheets • Cross-check results via the network • Second machine will print team and master score sheets • Each machine will be “first” for some challenges, “second” for others.

  16. Score Room Procedures:Team Challenge Scores (cont.) • Deduction reasons will be entered into the second computer • Also reasons for zero subjective scores • Will be printed on the TM and HA score sheets • All paper goes back into the team’s envelope • Runner will return the entire envelope to the Team Challenge Room

  17. Score Room Procedures:Instant Challenge • Instant Challenge scores are computed before they come to the score room • Instant Challenge score computations will be checked in the score room before entry • Single score per team is entered into both computers • Plus possible deduction • Both computers enter all IC scores, for cross check • Same order (first, second) as for TC

  18. Score Room Procedures:General • Any problems found will be sent back to the team challenge room • An “issue” will be entered in the computer • Keeping up-to-date with TC takes precedence over entering IC scores • Team managers are waiting for the TC scores

  19. Setting Up in the Morning • Determine scoring room assignments • For each challenge, determine who will enter first, and who will print scores • Enter appraisers and their scoring assignments into the second computer • First computer doesn’t know about appraisers

  20. Appraiser Edit Form

  21. Score Entry: Team Challenge • Arrange appraisers’ sheets in same order as table columns • We’ve asked for alphabetical order! • Ensure appraisers are scoring the items the computer expects • Appraisers must score same items for every team • Enter all scores for each appraiser • Remember to check for deductions, especially on the prep area form • Should already be on the Master form; check

  22. T-C Score Entry Form

  23. Entering Deductions • Deductions are not normally editable as a safety measure. • To enable: • Right click in the score area • Select “Modify deductions”

  24. Entering Deductions (2)

  25. About Accuracy and Speed • We MUST be accurate in our scoring • We also need to be fast • Teams are waiting to pick up their scores from the head judge • But not at the expense of accuracy • We need to stay current with the incoming TC paper

  26. How to Handle Problems • Talk with your score room leader • Send problems back to the challenge room • Enter an “Issue” in the program, for any score that goes back • This lets us ensure that we resolve any problems before finishing

  27. Issues Form (Modify Team Form)

  28. Instant Challenge • Scores will be calculated in the IC rooms • We will re-do that work, to make sure that the calculations are correct • If a discrepancy is found, we do it all again (different person) • A single score per team will be entered in the computer • We can’t go over score sheets ahead of time due to challenge security

  29. I-C Score Entry Form

  30. Your Preferences • Are you comfortable using a computer? • Can you enter data accurately and quickly? • One person in each score room will be checking IC scores and weights with a calculator, and logging scores in. • Would you prefer the calculator role?

  31. Your Equipment • Do you have a computer you could / would bring if needed? • Must be 300 MHz or better, with at least 32 MB memory • Portables are preferred • Same question for a printer? • Ink jet or laser • If so, please contact Al at al@nh-di.org

  32. Program Location • The scoring program is available on the web<http://www.nh-di.org/discoring/> • Play with it and get comfortable with it • If you have questions, contact Al atal@nh-di.org

  33. Time to Play! We’re going to try out the program now; we have several computers here running it.
