zhunter Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) I'm running scenarios on a master and slave to see how things work. I have a couple of questions. We are running our first match as a new club that will soon become USPSA affiliated, but presently is not. Does this make any differences for using Practiscore? 1) When using "Shooters/Squads" to register shooters and email address is entered, so can this email address be used to email results from the "Match Results", or do I have to re-enter email addresses when I hit the forward tab on the top right of the "Match Results -Combined" page? What is the best way to email results if not as described above? 2) can I use Practiscore online registration prior to being affiliated? If so how do I get that set up? 3) If I wasn't to use paper then upload manually to master, I would just set it up as one paper target and set it for 24 hits to emulate 12 targets, but it looks like I can only have a maximum of 15 "A's", is there a way to correct this? More questions to come Edited August 26, 2014 by zhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euxx Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 1) Currently email addresses are not used for emailing of anything. The easiest is to upload results to practiscore.com and let everyone visit the web site. Newly uploaded results are always on top and you can filter list by the club name (or club code), especially if you put your club name into the name of your matches. The only real significance of emails is when you're adding walk-ins so the app will use email (or uspsa#, or phone number) to differentiate shooters with the same first and last name 2) Yes you can. Email support@practiscore.com 3) Are you using ios or android app? The latter doesn't have any restrictions on per-target round count. For the former you can email support@practiscore.com Though the app never been intended to be used like that. I only suggested it as a workaround in a certain situation.

zhunter Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Another question How do I set it up to take online payments? Ive set up registration, but the squads are not showing up. Is there a reason for this? Edited August 26, 2014 by zhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhunter Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 If my master is an iPad, can we use android based units as slaves for squads? I'm hoping they don't all have to be on the same operating system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgnoyes Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Absolutely. Android stage devices and iOS masters work fine together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhunter Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 We ran a 1 stage practice match today as a test for our inaugural 6 stage match on Sept 20th I hit "Post to Practiscore.com" and it shows as sent, but I'm not seeing it on the results page. Match was called OK Corral Test I was at some point, can't remember, asked for a Club ID. I either do not know where to find it or don't have one yet. We are in the process of applying for USPSA affiliation, is Club ID your club's USPSA ID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackJones Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Did you do the upload from Android or iOS device? If you didn't do it using the iOS device I would recommend you try uploading using it. The iOS version of PractiScore generates additional result HTML files then the Android version currently does. I just looked at the results page and searched for your match but couldn't find it. I would think you could enter anything you wanted into the Club ID field given that you're not a affiliated club yet. I suppose you could try something like FL999 and see what happened.

zhunter Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 I used an Android Stage Slave, uploaded scores to my iOS Master, then sent scores to Practiscore.com But see no results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackJones Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I used an Android Stage Slave, uploaded scores to my iOS Master, then sent scores to Practiscore.com But see no results Still no results. Dumb question but did you have internet access at the time? Our range wifi is local access only. Try uploading them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhunter Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 When downloading match registration from Practiscore.com to slave/stage devices, is it possible to only load 1 squad per device, or do all squads load on each device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZackJones Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Something to keep in mind is how you want to manage the tablets at the stage. At our club USPSA assigns a tablet to a squad and you take the tablet between stages. For Steel Challenge we assign the tablet to the bay and it stays there. I prefer to leave the tablet at the stage. That way if something bad happens at most I lose one stage versus losing scores for one squad. During the steel match we do pull scores very often. When I'm not shooting I'm pulling scores or tending to other things like shuttling shooters between stages or passing out water, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'm going to have the tablet stay with the Squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Z, NO, please don't do that! If the score collection device travels with a squad and there is an issue, such as the device being damaged, struck by lightning, shot, lost to a swamp, etc. that squad is SOL for the match. Leave the device on the stage. Should something go horribly wrong with the device and the scores be un-recoverable, you only lose one stage of the match. You lose it for everyone, but everyone gets a match score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Norman Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Zack, I didn't see your post, you made the same recommendation I did. Your USPSA guy is cruising for a rude awakening. Hope he changes his ways before he has a PO'd squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
