A few tips to ensure a smooth scoring process:
The scorecard:
pre-fill the scorecard with the competitors ID and Name - you will have scorecards come in with shorthand names which slows the process and makes it difficult to match up to the competitors in the system. To save you time, you can produce scorecard labels under Reports & Exports
make sure they're designed in a way it's easy for judges to understand and use
there is a spot for the final score or completed reps (if there is a time cap)
Make sure your judges:
review the scorecards beforehand
write legibly
are clear on what needs to be written on the scorecards
get a clear signature from the competitor (in case there are disputes, which is inevitable.)
Workflow:
stay organized and consistent
optimize your score entry flow by sorting scorecards by lane
tally up any final results on paper
enter and verify your input

Here's a typical scenario:
You may want to hold off on displaying scores until a full division has completed a workout. So you'd enter scores as they they flow in and once the final set of scores have been entered, you then publish the scores. The advantage to this is you have a clear point standing per division as they complete each workout.
