Great Contest Steve, Leon + Jon Carter.

Scores are available online, with analysis at http://www.patternscoring.com, look for the AMA scores in the 2015 Arvin Wild West Showdown in the left nav menu and Classic scores in the Arvin Wild West Classic item in the left nav menu.

I'm pleased to say we ran the entire HUGE AMA contest with Scott Smith's Master Scoring program and my electronic scribe working seamlessly together. Thanks to the size of the contest I did discover some scaling issues with the scribe->Master Scoring Adapter->Master Scoring->Master Scoring Adapter->PatternScoring.com process toward the end of the contest and I'll be resolving those in the next few days. The impact was minimal (judges noticed saving scores took a few moments longer than usual on a few occasions) but a good caution to me that I need to revamp a few things.

Apologies for the classic contest going to paper, this was the first time the scribe had ever been used with the pre-novice pattern being flown and there was a long-standing error in the data for pre-novice that was causing the scribe to crash. Since Pre-novice flew first on one line and the issue that was happening was not clear to me yet, I made the call to fall back to paper to keep the contest moving at full speed and not risk losing any scores. Classic Advanced scores for the first round were delivered electronically, but after that we went to paper.

Thanks to everyone for your patience in the early hours of Saturday as we got things squared away.
