As with any other
software, JavaScore is started from Windows by selecting Start /
Programs / JavaScore
|
Open /
Create Regatta |
|
The first step to using
JavaScore is to create a regatta by selecting File / Create Regatta
from the opening screen.
|
Enter
Regatta Parameters |
|
Once a regatta has been
created, the first screen prompts you for regatta parameters such as
the name of the event, and the classes that will participate.
This screen also allows you to select several scoring systems, and
allows you to define penalties.
|
Enter /
Edit Entries |
|
The next step is to enter
the information about the competitors who will sail the event.
You will be prompted for information such as sail number, bow number
and the name of the crew. If it is a handicap class, you will
also be prompted for the boat's rating.
|
Start a
Race |
|
Selecting Enter / Edit
Finishes prompts you to start a new race. This screen prompts
you for the classes participating, their respective starting times,
and the distance of the race.
|
Finish a
Race |
|
To enter finishing
order, select Enter/Edit Finishes from the main screen, then select
edit finishes. Double clicking on an entry from the "Not
Yet Finished" window moves it to the "Finished"
window. If it is a handicap event, you are prompted for the
time the boat finished.
|
View /
Print Reports |
|
Once all the boats have
finished, selecting Reports / View Reports from the main screen
generates a summary page for of each race of the regatta, as well as
the cumulative scores for the event. Penalties have been
applied, ties have been broken, and discards if any have been
factored in. This page is printable for posting and
distribution at the regatta.

|
While JavaScore is a very
intuitive program to use, help is available from a comprehensive
Help file that is available from the main screen. |
