US Masters ACE Scoring Documentation
**** NOTE ***
Most of the ACE Scoring user documentation was written back in 2002 with the original release
of the scoring tools (originally known as the "Masters Race Scroing Tools").
Most of the material is still reasonably accurate, although a major update revisions is certainly overdue.
Probably the most significant change since the original set of capabilities were released
was the addition during the 2012 season of support for loading race results using the standard results XML data files
now used for results reporting to U.S. Ski & Snowboard, superseding an older text format
used by USSA known as "SkiData". Loading race results into ACE Scoring has been significantly simplified
by the switch to FIS XML produced by timing software systems.
Complete user documentation is included when the ACE Scoring software is installed. Online copies of the documentation are provided here for convenience.
