Scoring at our ISI Shootists monthly matches and the West Coast Steel
Championships will soon be done using the PractiScore App. Match results will be posted to PractiScore.com/results/ and may easily be found by searching for the match name (eg. ISI Shootists APR 2015 WCS ). A link directly to the results for each match by month and match name will be available on the isishootists.com/match-results.html Web page .
The intent of this guide is to provide an initial introduction to PractiScore for the SOs & the RO or SD (Scoring Director) who will be scorekeeping.
Every shooter will be asked to review their scores as they complete each stage to verify that the scoring is accurate before it is saved and before the
SO proceeds to the next shooter - see the Enter Scores section of this Guide .
1. The RO or SD, after setting-up the tablets for the match, will distribute them to the SOs, and the SOs will return the tablets to the RO or SD at the end of the match.
2. If you need to set the tablet down for more than a minute, set it down in the shade rather than the direct sunlight. If it’s raining, seal the tablet into the zip-loc bag (yes-it can be used when it’s in the bag.)
3. To power-up the tablet, press and hold the top button on the right side edge
( blue arrow ) until “Samsung Galaxy Tab 4” is displayed.
4. The tablets are set to time-out after two minutes of inactivity in-order to conserve battery life (the screen will be black). Awaken them by pressing the button in the middle of the left side ( green arrow ) swipe the Lock screen (multi-colored) to unlock touch the Practiscore App icon, if necessary, to open/return-to PractiScore
