Custom Score Feature Under Each Lift Attempt

[cdeacon89]

The custom score format is excellent, but it would be even better to have a custom score field under each lift attempt. For our U13 competitions, lifters are scored from 1 to 4 based on technique. Currently, we track these scores using an Excel sheet, but it would be extremely helpful to have a feature allowing us to manually enter the score after each lift and display a running total. This total would then be shown on the scoreboard when the custom score field is selected.

The issue is that this internally both the weight changes and the lifts are on the same item in the database. So if the marshal changes a weight while you are entering a score, either I refuse one or the other, or I make the last one to hit enter the winner. In either case, it's a mess, and changing that is not simple.

Currently you are actually using the same card as the marshal does, but after the lifting is done I presume. We do the same. We go through our spreadsheet, and we enter the adjusted scores at the end so we can do the printouts -- In our case, it's the Q-youth age adjusted total + bonus points).

For live updating there would need to be a new scoring card with the 6 attempts, and careful programming not to interfere. So it's a fairly major change (the careful programming bit to allow simultaneous changes).
