Entering Scores As you enter the scores, existing scores are shown in black, new scores are shown in blue and modified scores appear in green. The totals are calculated as you enter each value in accordance with FIG scoring calculations. The tariff may be left blank for the Set round, but not for the Vol or Final. TScore will try to correct common mistakes to understand what you meant You do not need to enter the decimal point, but it won’t object if you do Examples: 67 = 6.7 6.7 = 6.7 .67 = 6.7 67. = 6.7 06 = 0.6 8 = 8.0 .8 = 0.8 10 = 1.0 100 = 10.0 (yeah, right) TScore Training

Prompts and warnings TScore does its best to stop you making mistakes.
