Digital scoring

Digital scoring is the use of Computer Tablets or Phones in which the judge (or their penciller) inputs results and comments into the system at the actual time of riding. Those results are automatically loaded onto our main computer. The results are automatically calculated and published to our live results website.

We have specific scoring apps for:

  • Dressage Judges/Pencillers
  • Showjumping Judges/Pencillers
  • Cross Country Jump Judges
  • Cross Country Start
  • Cross Country Finish
  • Working Equitation Style
  • Working Equitation Speed
  • Showing

We also have specific apps for officials managing the event:

  • Event Coordinator
  • Technical Delegate
  • Cross Country Controller
  • Stewards
  • Vet Check
  • Marshals
  • Gear Check
