Title: ENPS Steel Challenge Match, June 16th...
Post by: JTH on June 11, 2013, 03:48:16 PM
Just reminding folks that our next Steel Challenge match is coming up this Sunday---as always, the match will have six stages.

Help set up at 7:15am when registration starts.  Registration closes at 8:40 with the safety briefing.  Shooter's meeting at 9am.

Only $15!

I'll be in Illinois for the Area 5 match, so you all have fun without me...  :(

(Wish I could shoot both!)

What a perfect way to celebrate Fathers day!  Of course my wife isn't too keen about it.  But I told her, if it was Mothers Day no way  in h e double l.  But if I am supposed to do something I like for Fathers Day, why not shoot?  See you all there.

I mis-informed Thomas about the # of shooters - we had 79!

It was an awesome day!  We had 79 people registered, squadded, shot 6 stages, and were done by 2pm.  I have to say, ENPS runs a great match. 

SO - for those who loved it, come out and shoot the sectional!

Just curious, what happened to the results?

At the present moment, we're having a malfunction with the scoring system. 3 of us all have the same issue of not showing all the competitors results even though all the scores have been entered. I believe Terry is going to contact USPSA for assistance.

How come USPSA doesn't have a APP to enter Steel match scores yet???????


As much loot as they collect from all the clubs, surely they can afford that  :-)

The scores have been uploaded to the enps page. 

There was a glitch in the database, and I made an error which apparently caused chaos to ensue.  Hopefully this will not happen again.

We had 79 competitors---6 stages, 5 of which had 5 runs, and 1 of which had 4 runs.

Which means she had to register, squad, and enter into the match 79 people, and then enter two thousand ninety-one data points (all of the individual string times) ---and that was in addition to shooting the match herself.

Yeah, she works a bit.  :)

Definitely a big +++

That is a tough job that requires a lot of commitment and no pay.


THANK YOU JULIE!!!



I am stunned that USPSA does not have electronic scoring for Steel Challenge (on the Nooks/Palms/iPods, etc....) That is a HUGE amount of work for someone to manually enter each score (while trying to decipher 20 different individuals handwriting

You are welcome.  I don't get paid, but I do take "gifts."  I like jewelry, clothing, Harley stuff, wine coolers, longshot powder, small rifle primers, etc.

PractiScore is working on a module for Steel Challenge.  Last I communicated with them (a few months ago) - there was some "legal stuff" that they were working through.  They were hoping (at that time) to have a program to beta test by the end of this year.

And it'll be wonderful when they do.  The really cool thing is that coding for Practiscore will be simple---as usual, it is the interface with EZ Steel (the USPSA official SC program) that will be difficult.
