In most cases all the events in a competition can be put into a single file, but sometimes it is necessary to split events into separate files. Typical situations are: Competitor numbers for different events conflict The early rounds of events with a large number of entrants may need to be processed on two or more computers The judge panels may differ between events scrutelle-CM allows you to set up the whole competition in advance and to generate and check out the scrutelle data files CM Main Window Details of all the events are read from Excel spreadsheets. It is recommended that you save these examples and use them as templates for your own competition events.xls This file contains all the events for a single competition Note that all the fields shown in BOLD must appear exactly as shown as they are used by the program for validating the data judges panel files These files contain the Judges names and letters for each panel competitors files These files contain the Competitor Numbers and Names for each Event There are a number of alternative formats as shown in competitor-file-formats.xls The couples names can be entered in Column B as in Format(1) or in Columns B to E as in Format (3), which allows the spreadsheet to be sorted by surname Formats(2) and (4) allows one competitor file for all events, with the event nos for each couple specified in Columns D or G See example Any data entered into the COUNTRY column will be included in brackets and appended to the combined names The functions currently available in scrutelle-CM are: Generate Data Files The program generates a complete set of data files for the competition In the process the Start No in Column G of the events file is updated using the data in the competitors files Update Data Files Similar to Generate, but it does not delete exists marks and recalls data from the existing scrutelle data files. It can be used to add in extra competitors on the day and to update the judges and competitors names Print Marking Sheets This option will print a complete set of Marking Sheets for each judge collated in the order required - ie one sheet for each dance, for each round of each event that judge will be marking More Details Each sheet is clearly labelled with: the judge's name and letter the event title and round number the number of competitors to be recalled The Marking Sheet request page Split The first round of each event can be split and the judges marks entered into two computers. The split function splits by competitors (Note that it is also possible to split by judges using the copy file function within the main scrutelle program) Merge Recalls After entering the judges marks into two computers, the recalls can be merged and the combined recall sheet printed The Split & Merge Recalls options only appear if you have designated events to be split in Column K of the events spreadsheet
