It's annoying, the results from Caterham on New Years Day are not on the CPSA site as yet

I think the  speed of the scores being submitted  and posted on the CPSA website keeps pace with the ability of the shooters overall so we are only  ever going to get an "average service "/wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-cool.gif/wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-cool.gif Just my humble opinion

It is ten years since we started at Wylye and at that time all scores from a registered shoot had to be submitted on a carbon, two-part set. Hand written. This took anything from one to three hours depending on the entry numbers. After posting to the CPSA that was the last you saw of them until the averages book came out once a year. This was as big as a telephone directory and contained all the members names and classifications for the coming year. Currently the vast majority of competition scores appear on the CPSA website within five days of a shoot. A significant number appear within three days and some within two. There are clubs out there with a bucket for a toilet and a generator for an electricity supply so I think it will be a while before real-time scores appear on the net during a shoot.

Interesting Ian; thanks. As I implied earlier, so much of this sport is run buy -and partaken by - older folks who have been at it since they were young. The standards they knew in the sixties and seventies are still all around us. As you mention, there are registered shoots with buckets for loos. No running water to wash your hands. The catering staff use this loo. Unbelievable. How to put off newcomers and all ladies at a stroke. I remember the first time I went to Caterham (for my second ever registered in 2005). The most sophisticated accessory on offer was a skip in the muddy car park. Even they now have a laptop in the signing on hut, so progress is creeping in, but the CPSA should be ready / enouraging the better grounds to get to a new standard. This would in turn pull the lower places along.CSC3

I can't see why the grounds can't upload them onto their own website the same day as the shoot as mid wales do, surely it's only the press of a button as most scores are being up loaded onto a laptop as they come in.

even better, real time stand by stand /wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-laugh.gif  the technology is out there, some US grounds use it. Scorers use smartphones or tablets to score, shooter just gives them their entry number, no scorecards just an electronic mastersheet.  Magic pencil gets banished once and for all /wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-cool.gif/wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-cool.gif
