1 month ago The issue is that this internally both the weight changes and the lifts are on the same item in the database. So if the marshal changes a weight while you are entering a score, either I refuse one or the other, or I make the last one to hit enter the winner. In either case, it's a mess, and changing that is not simple.
Currently you are actually using the same card as the marshal does, but after the lifting is done I presume. We do the same. We go through our spreadsheet, and we enter the adjusted scores at the end so we can do the printouts -- In our case, it's the Q-youth age adjusted total + bonus points).
For live updating there would need to be a new scoring card with the 6 attempts, and careful programming not to interfere. So it's a fairly major change (the careful programming bit to allow simultaneous changes).
The custom score format is excellent, but it would be even better to have a custom score field under each lift attempt. For our U13 competitions, lifters are scored from 1 to 4 based on technique. Currently, we track these scores using an Excel sheet, but it would be extremely helpful to have a feature allowing us to manually enter the score after each lift and display a running total. This total would then be shown on the scoreboard when the custom score field is selected.
