# Once the scoring system is finalized contact Nick or Teresa so that they can download it to the rallye laptop. Once the system is downloaded do not make changes on-line unless you contact Nick or Teresa first. If you are using your own laptop instead of the rallye laptop you will need to export the file and import it on your laptop.

== Scoring System Precheck ==
 
After the scoring profile has been created the following precheck should be completed by the rallyemaster and
at least 1 other person. The scoring system should be configured and prechecked no less then 48 hours prior
to the event. If at any time there are corrections to the scoring system it needs to be completely rechecked by
the Rallyemaster and the prechecker.
 
# Compare scoresheet with screen and verify they match.
# Mark all of the CMs and CPs and hit score. Double check that all impossible combos and prerequisites are correct.
# Mark each impossible combo and prerequisite and click score to verify correct scoring.
# Hit score with no CMs or CPs marked. Verify that the finish points are correct or that no score is given for this.
# Enter what you think is a perfect rallye and hit score. Verify that the total points are correct.
# Enter no less than 5 samples containing a variety of situations and verify score against a hand score of the same sample. Each prechecker should enter 5 unique samples.

Rallyemasters can use Nick Stefanisko's computerized scoring system to score rallyes, to quickly rescore rallyes based on granted protests, and to generate final results and statistics. If given sufficient notice prior to the event, Nick and Teresa Stefanisko can provide a laptop computer for use with the scoring system.

Before using the computerized scoring system, rallyemasters must create a scoring profile and precheck it carefully. Both the rallyemaster and one other person should precheck the scoring profile. Do this well in advance of the actual rallye.

It is also possible to use the scoring system to generate results and statistics for a rallye that was scored by hand.

The results document lists each team's score and standing, as well as the names of the driver, navigator, and any passengers. The statistics document lists the fraction of teams in each class that recorded each gimmick. These statistics can be helpful for rallyemasters trying to understand how difficult different types of gimmicks are, so they can better calibrate future rallyes.
