A US soaring contest scoring system available for the 2011 season

About Winscore:

Winscore is a robust and easy to use Windows based scoring program for soaring contests in the US.  The scoring program is used at soaring contests to calculate contestant speeds, distances, scores, and to generate score sheets. The scoring program also can generate .zip files which contains the GPS flight traces (.igc files) and scoring information (.xml) for each contestant. These .zip files can then be put on a web page where Internet users can view a replay of the contestant's flights for that day.

Winscore Support:

Support of the scoring and viewing programs is provided by the author, Guy Byars.

The best way to contact him is via email:

For critical support issues, Guy's cell phone is: 513-307-1484

In your initial mail message to Guy, please include a complete description of your problem and also attach the Winscore data file (.wsc) to the email. If you are having problem with the evaluation of a flight log, you should also attach the IGC file for the flight in question.  Including this information with your initial email will speed up your support.

Note, some email programs have problems with attachments that have a .wsc extension.  To avoid this problem, you can send the contest data in .xml format.  To do this from Winscore, simply go to File->Export->Entire Contest in XML... and export an .xml file, then attach it to your email along with any .igc files that are causing problems.
