Online Scoring System

Although the score entry process is easy, please take a minute to read this, especially the speedtips so that you can save time vs. manual submissions.

Overview
Entering scores in the JCNA on line database is a simple three step process :

  1. Add the event to your club's list of reported events and provide the basic general information such as date, location, event type and name, event Chair, etc...
  2. Enter scores for this event.
  3. Print the official report which should be signed and mailed for archival purposes.

Once entered your event and its scores will be automatically listed on the result page. Results will be marked as provisional until the report as been received by the official scorekeeper who, once reviewed, will remove the provisional note.

Event Information
The scoring system is different from the online calendar and sanction process. Even though you concours, slalom or rally was sanctioned and shown on the calendar page, you need to create it in the scoring system before you can enter scores.

The main score page, shows a list of the events already entered in the database. To add a new event, simply click on the Create a New Event link, fill out the form and click on the Save button. The information you entered there will be used in the official score report form but some fields (name, address, phone, etc...) are not visible to the public. After you click on Submit, you are returned to the main page and your new event will be listed, on top of the list.

Note that you can edit and correct an event's information but you cannot delete it (Email the webmaster to delete an event you would have entered twice for instance). To edit an event general info, click on its Edit link, correct the data shown in the next form and click on Update.

Score entry
Once you've created a new event, you can enter scores by clicking on the Add / Edit Scores link next to this event. This will take you to the score entry page containing a simple entry form. If scores have already been entered for this event, they will be listed below the form, in entry order with the newest scores on top.

Scores are entered one by one and saved each time you click on the the Savet button, this ensures that you will not loose any data should your internet connection go down. If you made a mistake, click on a score's Edit link to correct it or delete it.

Important, please make sure that you follow these guidelines :

  • Class number:  Must be entered with no space, dashes, etc. For Concours, YOU MUST include the leading 0 for classes 1 through 9
  • Good:  C01B, D07, C14, S01...
  • Bad:  C1B, D-7, C 14, etc...

For Slalom:  Enter the class number without the leading 0. For non JCNA class / cars, enter them as class Z to get them listed at the end of the report.

For Rally:  Leave blank, enter the class number (T1, M2, M1N, etc....) for non jaguar classes, you can use Z and Z1 thru Z9 as needed.

JCNA #:  You only need to type in the number, without club and region. Ex : for SE-25-12345 just type 12345. The program will look up the member in thew JCNA roster and display the full number in the proper format.

After you enter the JCNA number, click on the Find button to find this member in the JCNA membership database. The name and club affiliation will be displayed on the form. In case the JCNA number is not available or incorrect, leave it blank and fill out the name and club affiliation.

For rally, enter both the driver and the navigator number, in each field, then click on Find. Both names will be displayed (Driver on top, Navigator on the second line)

Members entering more than one car : Because scores are grouped by car, a member entering cars in different classes will not be a problem. In the rare case where a member enters more than one car in the SAME class, please add a letter to the JNCA number for each car AFTER you locate the member in the membership database : type the JCNA nr, click on Find, add -a or -b to the JCNA number, and fill in the score / car info.

Ex.: NC01-12345-a and NC01-12345-b

For Slalom, when both husband and wife enter in the same class, please add their initials to the JCNA number.

Ex.: NC01-12345-tl and NC01-12345-pl

Important
To ensure the accuracy of the competition standings, you must click on the Find button to validate JCNA numbers. If you type or edit a number and do not validate it by clicking on Find , that number and home club affiliation will not be saved and remain blank. As a result, that score will be displayed in the event result but will not be included in the competition standings.

New Members: for new members, make sure that your club sends in their data to JCNA. It is your club responsibility to go back in after the numbers are issued and enter the JCNA numbers in the scoring system. If your club membership chair didn't provide the newly issued number, you can look them up using the Number search form. The roster is updated every couple of weeks so if a number doesn't come up, try again later.

Finding missing numbers: Entrants are required to provide their JCNA number on their entry form. If a number is not available, you can look it up by clicking on the JCNA number Search link. This opens a pop up search window in which you can type in the last name. Click on the Find button to view a list of matches.

You can type any portion of the last name or first name (at least 3 characters). All the records containing that portion will be listed below, sorted by club / jcna number. Avoid entering both a first name AND last name as it increases chances of a member not being shown because of typos or spelling differences.

 

Ex. If you type Bill Rock, membership in the name of William Rock or Bill H. Rock will not be found. If you type Rock, it will return any member whose last name or first name contains "rock", such as Rock, Rockledge, or Brock.

Name : will be displayed from the JCNA membership records. For a non or new member enter the name as listed on the event entry form. Spelling or first name variations will not affect standings which are sorted by JCNA nr. It is the entrant and club responsibility to provide the right JCNA number.

For Slalom or Rally, in case both spouses first name appear on the membership, you will need to edit the first name to show who actually competed.

Score / Points : type in the score.

For rally, the score must be entered in seconds ( total error for the rally); in case of DNF, enter 999.99. the program will automatically calculate the points according to the new / current point system.

Car : enter relevant information such as year, model, body style and color. Consistency is only needed for a cleaner display of results. ex : 63 E-type OTS Silver or 95 XKS conv red and has no effect on scoring.

Home Club : will be automatically displayed after you enter the JCNA number. For new members, type in the club name, not number. Leave blank for non members.

Speedtips
We tried to make the entry form convenienent so that you spend as little time as possible entering scores... Once you start entering scores, you can follow these tips to make the process faster...

  • You do not need to capitalize the class : c05 will be converted to C05
  • Use the Tab key to move from one field to the next, no need to use the mouse...
  • After you type in the JCNA number, just hit the Enter key instead of clicking on Find. The member will be displayed and the cursor will move to the Score field
  • After you click on Submit, you are automatically placed in the Class field for the next record.

For most scores, all you need to do is :

  • Type the class, then press the TAB key
  • Type the basic JCNA nr ( ex 12345) then press the ENTER key ( or click on FIND). This will properly format the number, fill in the name, club affiiliation and even the car data if the member already entered in that class
  • Type the score
  • Click on Submit
