ScoreBoard For Smarter Competition Scoring
A faster, more modern and effective competition scoring system is available. One that makes it easier and more efficient for event organisers and faster for riders and spectators to see results.
The ScoreBoard scoring system by Nominate caters for all disciplines except vaulting and carriage driving. It is widely used around the country already and most of the interschool events also use it, as it calculates the team points as well as the individual placings.
It provides for live scoring - riders and spectators can even download the free ScoreBoard app and get alerts of results and other announcements on their phones.
ScoreBoard is a multi-user system so you can have multiple scorers entering scores simultaneously, which exponentially speeds up the scoring process.
The previous dressage scoring system that EA had on the website used an excel spreadsheet. The system was single user, so you could only have one scorer entering scores at any one time, and the spreadsheet could be difficult to set up.
The ScoreBoard system is totally free to use, and if the event also uses Nominate to take their entries, the two systems link together so that entries automatically flow from one system to the other. If organisers choose not to use Nominate for their entries, they can still easily import the entries in to the scoring system using an excel spreadsheet, or they can enter them manually.
For dressage, it gets even better. ScoreBoard is also the backbone of the NEW 'LiveScore dressage system'. The LiveScore dressage system is world’s first technology developed by Nominate.
Being the next step up from standard ScoreBoard, the LiveScore dressage system completely removes the need for paper as part of the dressage scoring process. It engages spectators by showing trending percentages on a movement by movement basis, pushed out to spectators phones. It is fast - riders get a digital copy of their test as soon as the judge signs it.
Event organisers that use Nominate to process their entries get the use of the LiveScore dressage system for free. Events that don’t use Nominate for their entries can still use the LiveScore dressage system for a small fee ($1 per horse, per event).
All of the 2019 dressage tests have been loaded in to ScoreBoard (and LiveScore dressage) and are ready to go.
