Scoring of entries by members

As you can see the website has been totally rebuilt with a fresh new look and way to enter and view entries. The online scoring feature is being used for internal judging of competitions like the PSA & APS Interclub competitions.

This feature is now available for members to use on both Print and Digital competitions. You access online scoring by going to Members > Competitions, then click or tap on the scoring link for the competition collection you want.

Digital competitions – online scoring will be open once the competition closes for entry. This allows members to preview the images & score them before the judges’ results are presented. This is currently only open to competitions in your grade

Print competitions – if you have a smartphone or tablet. You can use this on the meeting night to score each image as you look at them. Please be prepared in advance and have your device logged into the club website before hand. Please give it a try!

I look forward to hearing your feedback on this and the other enhancements evident on the website.
