Qualification
Qualification Rounds
The Qualification Round is a key phase in each tournament, from local ones to the most important competitions in Archery. For what concerns i@nseo, everything that is related to scoring, scorecards, and printouts is available in the Qualification item of the main menu.
Scoring and Printouts
The Qualification item in the main menu of the software includes the following functions:
Input Score: the main feature in the scores management. Selecting this option, the software will open dropdown submenu with some other items, which are related to the different procedures through which users can input scores in i@nseo. Users can enter scores in the system in four separate ways:
1. Standard Table: after selecting the whished Session, Targets and Distance, clicking on OK , a screen with a spreadsheet layout will be displayed: here the user can input scores in a simple and fast way (see Figure 3.1). Ticking the box G/X , the user can manage 10s and Xs (or 9s in indoor tournaments) that each athlete will shoot. Generally, this is a required activity during competitions; it can be skipped when the user needs to manage only some parts of scorecards and golds are not relevant (e.g. for scoring at half distance).

Once scores of all archers are inputted, the user has to click on Re-Build Teams , Re-Calculate Distance Rank and, then, Re-Calculate Final Rank . The software will open 3 different pop-ups: always click OK . The software will, then, generate the Final Rank for the tournament. The user could also click on Save results for snapshot feature , to generate data for the real time displaying of ranks, but it is not necessary, unless there are visual electronic devices (TV or similar systems) in use, for they need to manage in real time the athletes ranks or positions in the entire competition. Plus, without using HTTs, this command is partly effective, for results will be ranked and displayed only considering sessions and distances in the tournament.
2. Extended Table: it works just as the Standard Table. It differs only for the output, that shows, in addition to scores to be inputted, the scores of the previous end (after the first one), or the sum of the scores of the previous ends (see Figure 3.2). It is useful to check that scores, that have been previously inputted, have been entered without mistakes.
