What's going on in the A folder - 100101.jpg to 100102.jpg? My guess is that is someone moving the 1 from the 'blank' spot and just dumping both 1 and 6 under the 12 because, hey, we're not going to 12 anyway.

In any case, this illustrates the need for some logic check of the score so that impossible things don't happen. Just some set of logic tests that follow the scoring rules of curling (no one ever loses points, as a simple example). Also, this event illustrates that an assumption I had (numbers don't move) wasn't right.

Also, put this in an issue just to get some things into the github and off email. Github doesn't have a great 'discussion' feature, but this will work.

Right now our scoreboards only have one spot for blank ends, and since there is no reason you can't have multiple blank ends in a game, people tend to get creative when that happens. More competitive games tend to have lower scores and more blank ends.

Some rules:

  1. Can't lose points (although it is possible someone puts up the score incorrectly and fixes it later).
  2. Can't score more than 8 in one end. However, scores of 8 are incredibly rare - it hasn't happened at our facility in the 4 years it has been open. 7's are also very rare (we probably get 1-3 per year).
  3. Ends must go up in order. I suppose people could just not hang the card for a blank end, so if we see, for example, the 5 goes up but the 4 is nowhere to be found, we can assume it was blank.

Can't think of any more right now.
