Three decimal digits #219

Open KitClement opened 9 years ago

I think it would be nice to have data entry work to allow all three decimal digits be entered. It seems weird, but here are my reasons:

  1. In order to prevent judges from rounding, we usually tell them to write all digits, so the data entry person can just enter exactly what is on the scorecards.
  2. It would be really nice to collect data on the accuracy of ProTimers to the third digit, so we can know if we can take results out to that digit in the future.

Obviously not a Phase 1 priority, but something to consider. I realize that these two points are fairly weak, so definitely understand if we'd rather stick to two digits for data entry.

CCM was written with 3 decimal places in mind. In fact, the original code I wrote required 3 decimal places, but @jbcm627 made me add this code https://github.com/cubing/ccm/blob/master/client/dataEntry.js#L277. jChester currently lets you type in as many decimal places as you like, so long as you type an explicit period. We could make the "lazy input" require 3 decimal places?
