The 2019 Python team faced two software scoring issues for the 10 hour course.  We dramatically increased the number of controls this year to provide a greater challenge for the competitors.  Unfortunately, this surpassed the limits of the scoring software, OEScore v11.0, that we had been using for the previous two years without issues.

The first problem is a limitation of the maximum number of controls per course.  We were not aware that the 70 controls would exceed the software’s control maximum (64).  Six 10 point controls needed to be added in manually, if in fact, they were punched by the competitor (110 thru 115).  The OEScore v12 software addresses this issue and we are looking into an upgrade now.

The second problem is more subtle, but very seriously affected the top scoring people.  The number of punches downloaded from a single finger stick stops at 64.   No warning is given the participant nor the tabulator that this has occurred and the ignored punches, if any, are completely discarded and do not count in the competitors’ score.   For example, in this event, two competitors punched 68 controls and, as a result, their last four controls punched were ignored.

We used the ability to add extra points per team as a workaround for these two issues.  The “Xtra” column in the results shows the adjustments that we made based on the raw punch information that we collected.
