Using the Computerized Scoring System

Setting Up the Computerized Scoring System

If you want to use the computerized scoring system during your rallye to score and/or after the rallye to create the results the following needs to be done.

Before the rallye

1. Go to http://www.ipidooma.net/rallye/index.php and create a new rallye.
2. Follow the directions on the following screens to complete the scoring profile for your rallye.
3. Once the scoring profile is created precheck it carefully. A recommended precheck is covered in Scoring System Precheck.
4. If you plan on using the system to score during the rallye contact Nick or Teresa Stefanisko 1 week prior to the rallye so they can ensure the rallye laptop is charged and ready the night of the rallye. If you wish to instead use your own laptop to score the rallye contact Nick or Teresa for the requirements to run the system.
5. 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.

Night of the rallye

1. At the start Nick will transfer the laptop to you and explain set up and start up.
2. When doing the scoring if it is slow you can enter all information off scoresheets; car number, class, names, and clubs, but if there is a pile of scoresheets waiting to be scored it is recommended that you only enter car number, class and if they are TRC members.
3. Once awards have been handed out Nick and Teresa will take the laptop and upload the rallye information to the website so results can be printed.

After the rallye

1. If you didn’t use the system to score the rallye you can use it post rallye to get your results printed. First you will need to set up the scoring profile.
2. If you did use the system for scoring once the file has been upload Nick or Teresa will contact you and let you know that it is available.
3. Next, you will need to enter any information that wasn’t entered the night of the rallye.
4. Once all information is entered you can click on “Results” and you will get a page that you can copy & paste into a text editor.
5. If you want to include the stats of the rallye you can click on “Stats” and copy paste them into the text editor as well.
6. After creating your results file you will email the results to all contestants, TRC-EVENTS and to Dave Graubart. (Dave will post them to the TRC website.)

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.

1. Compare scoresheet with screen and verify they match.
2. Mark all of the CMs and CPs and hit score. Double check that all impossible combos and prerequisites are correct.
3. Mark each impossible combo and prerequisite and click score to verify correct scoring.
4. Hit score with no CMs or CPs marked. Verify that the finish points are correct or that no score is given for this.
5. Enter what you think is a perfect rallye and hit score. Verify that the total points are correct.
6. 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.
