Overview: Score Room Internals • Room staffing • Dual detail score entry • Procedures • Paper flow • Normal • Exceptional • Instant challenge NH Appraiser TrainingDestination ImagiNation
Score Room Staffing • Score room leader • Score room co-leader • Two data entry people • One utility infielder • Check Instant Challenge computations • Check deductions worksheets • Logging paperwork in/out • shared with co-leader • Schedule time out of the room • If you need to go support a team, tell the leader NH Appraiser TrainingDestination ImagiNation
Dual Detail Score Entry • No number crunchers in team challenge rooms! • Instant challenge scores still calculated by hand • We will enter every TC appraiser’s scores into the computers… • Twice… • When they agree, we will print the scores and send them back to the challenge room NH Appraiser TrainingDestination ImagiNation
Procedures: Overall • When? Except for leads, sign in time is 9:00 • This is different from all other appraiser roles • We’ll be working until about 5:30 • Access to the room is limited • Not a place for visiting or hanging out • All paperwork is logged in and out of the room • Refer anything unusual to the lead or co-lead • This allows everyone else to continue processing the “normal” scores, keeping the flow going • Keeping up with TC more important than doing IC • By the end of the day, we will catch up NH Appraiser TrainingDestination ImagiNation
Morning setup Primarily lead’s responsibility • Determine roles • Enter appraiser assignments • Liaison can’t do their job without it • Check that cross-check feature is working • Positive and negative test • Set up automatic backups • cross-machine NH Appraiser TrainingDestination ImagiNation
Appraiser Assignments NH Appraiser TrainingDestination ImagiNation
Paper Flow: Normal • Packet brought to room by runner • Scores entered twice, automatic cross check agrees • Enter reasons into second computer (only) • Second computer prints 2 score sheets • Head Appraiser • Team Manager • All paperwork goes back in packet • Gets green sticker • Logged out and returned to challenge room NH Appraiser TrainingDestination ImagiNation
Team Challenge Calculation Flow In: Individual Appraisers’ scores Out: Original packet plus HA & TM Score sheets Print Cross check scores(automatic) NH Appraiser TrainingDestination ImagiNation
Score Entry: Team Challenge • Arrange appraisers’ sheets in same order as table columns • We’ve asked for order in which you send back the assignment confirmation form! (That’s a hint!) • Ensure appraisers are scoring the items the computer expects • Appraisers must score same items for every team • Enter all scores for each appraiser • Remember to check for deductions, especially on the prep area form • Should already be on the deduction worksheet; check NH Appraiser TrainingDestination ImagiNation
Score Entry Form NH Appraiser TrainingDestination ImagiNation
Entering Deductions • Deductions are not normally editable as a safety measure. • To enable: • Right click in the score area • Select “Modify deductions” • Or, “Alt-D” for you keyboard types • All deductions MUST have a reason • Entered in the second computer NH Appraiser TrainingDestination ImagiNation
About Accuracy and Speed • We MUST be accurate in our scoring • We also need to be fast • Teams are waiting to pick up their scores from the head judge • But not at the expense of accuracy • We need to stay current with the incoming TC paper • Let IC backup if necessary NH Appraiser TrainingDestination ImagiNation
Exceptional Situations • Objective score doesn’t agree • Deduction with no reason • Zero subjective score with no reason • Can’t read handwriting • Missing scores • Or extra scores! • Anything out of the ordinary NH Appraiser TrainingDestination ImagiNation
