Enter Instant Challenge Scores

You can enter a team's Team Challenge or Instant Challenge score at any time. And, you can enter any team's score at any time. You don't have to wait for a particular set of scores to arrive. Just enter them in the order in which they are most convenient for you.

Caution!
	On score sheets, this button cancels the score entry and closes the window. Clicking on the X box (in the upper right corner of the window), or selecting the Windows menu's Close command (reached by clicking the upper left corner icon), will prompt you whether to save changes you have made.

To enter an Instant Challenge score:

1. Open the team's challenge level window.
   • In the Tournament Summary Window, find the row representing the team's challenge level.
   • Click the IC Inc cell in the team's challenge level row.

     Or, click to select the challenge level row and, from the Scoring menu, select Open Challenge-Level (IC), or press Ctrl+I.

2. Open the team's Instant Challenge score sheet.
   • In the challenge level window, find the row representing the team.
   • Click the IC Done cell in the team's row.

     Or, click to select the team row and, from the Edit menu, select Enter Instant Challenge Scores, or press Ctrl+I.

3. In the score sheet, click the first active (white) cell in the score column.

   If you are using a Detail score sheet with appraisers, locate the column for the particular appraiser's score. (If you're the appraiser, find the column with your name or ID at the top.)

   Otherwise, click the top active (white) cell in the Score column.

4. If you make a mistake, click the cell and then retype the score.

5. If you need to enter a deduction, see Enter Deductions for an explanation that covers the various procedures and preferences, depending on your scoring mode.

6. Click the Save button on the toolbar or at the bottom of the score sheet to save the scores and close the window.

   If you have Automatic Cross-Checking configured for this computer, and if the cross-check fails (a discrepancy is detected between this "master/A" computer and the designated "B" computer), the "error pane" will open at the bottom of the score entry window, containing a message describing the error that was detected. You will need to refer to the appropriate scoring document(s) to resolve the discrepancy between the data values entered into the two computers.

   If you right click in the "Description" or "Score" areas of the window, a menu will appear that allows you to toggle the error pane (close or open), clear (erase) the error message, or set your preference for the height (size) of the error pane. You may also use the small up and down arrows to open (up) or close (down) the pane, and change the size of the pane by dragging the horizontal divider up or down. Once the error message has been cleared, the pane closes automatically. Remember, if you do not correct the error, the message will be redisplayed when you try again to leave that score sheet. Clearing the error message does not correct the discrepancy!
