    • This feature is continually being developed. If there are any suggestions to improve this feature, or problems encountered using it, please send a detailed description to mcorrect@moscore.com
    
    
    • IMPORTANT:
    • Make sure that any cars which go off the track under green are marked as Off Track (repairs). If there is a caution the computer needs to know which cars are actually on the track. If the race runs too long with an uncorrected CAR OFF TRACK the race will not be scored properly.
    .
  • If there is a caution (red/yellow flag) press the corresponding colored light when the flagperson waves the flag OR press F2 for a Yellow Flag and F3 for a Red Flag .
    • Immediatly after a yellow/red flag make sure to mark which cars went dead under green with the checkbox near the car number. This is a reminder as to which cars should get DOT charges when the judges make their decision.
    • As any cars go off the track, mark them using the Off Track menu .
      • The off track cars will be placed at the back of the lineup, in the order they cross the start/finish line.
    • Once the judges make a descision, use the Back of Pack menu to assign the appropriate DOT and Call charges to the proper cars.

  Race Scoring User Correction

  New in Moscore-QM is the ability to make corrections on-the-fly. This feature allows the user to correct a flag placement after it has happened, effectively changing the lead car while the race progresses.

  • To change the lead car on a green flag lap, drag the Green Flag Marker left or right
    OR
    If the greenflag is still active, press the number key on the top of the keyboard for the car that is leading on the track
  • To change the last car crossing on a yellow /red flag , drag the Yellow /Red Flag Marker left or right

  Lead Car	X	1	2	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
  Key	~ `	1	2	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	0

  
  This is the new scoresheet screen. The colored notches in the corner of some squares represent the time when a flag button was pressed (green/yellow/red/checkered (black)). All flag markers except the checkered can be dragged left or right to change their position (or the car's position).

  During the race, the user may need to quickly change the leader after a green flag has been thrown, due to mis-timing the keypress. If, for example, car 8 was actually in the lead, but the computer shows 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8, the user may press '8' on the keyboard during the green flag to make the '8' car the lead. pressing the ~ key will make the X car the lead.

  Changing Information "On the Fly" (Race scoring)
  

  There are several options in the race scoring mode which help to keep this software up-to-date with real-world situations.

    Troubleshooting

    Q: I’m trying to find a name in the database that I’m SURE is in there, but I can’t find it! What might be wrong?

    A: It is possible that the name is in the database, but was entered incorrectly. Here are a couple of options to try:

    • Try different spellings of the name i.e. Last name Miller could have been entered as Millar, Millr, and Millre by mistake!
    • Try entering the FIRST NAME into the LAST NAME field. The name may have been entered in the database in the wrong order.

    Q: During registration of a new driver, I discovered that the handler information was not entered into the database. How do I enter the handler’s information so that I can complete the new driver’s information?

    A: It is very important to remember that a handler’s information should be entered before the driver’s information at all times. If done in this order, it avoids the problem as described above. However, this problem can be solved with just one extra step.

    • Continue to input all of the driver’s relevant information. Click on ‘Just Apply’ to save the information.
    • Register the handler following the ‘Handler Registration’ guide in this manual.
    • Use the ‘Driver/Handler’ search to locate the driver’s previous information, and just add the handler’s name from the dropdown box in the ‘Driver Information’ panel.
    • Click on ‘Just Apply’ to save the information.

    Display is set to 16 color mode
    
    MO-Score QM requires a color mode of 256 or higher to run properly.
    
    

    You can do this by clicking on Start->Settings->Control Panel, then double clicking on the Display icon. This will bring up the Display Properties. Click on Settings and use the Color DropDown Box to select a color mode > 16 color mode. (256 color, 16 bit, 24 bit, or 32 bit modes are all acceptable)

    If there is no option for any color mode greater than 16 color mode, you will have to install new video drivers for your video card.
    See your video card manufacturers website or manual for details on how to do this.

    Installing TCP/IP
    
    

    Q: When I go to run MO-Score QM, it won't start and I get a message saying that TCP/IP isn't installed. What's this all about?

    A: This procedure is meant for use on computers running Windows 98/95 which do not have a tcp/ip network set up. Most often this is only the case that the computer has NO modem and NO network card installed. Follow these instructions and apply them to a computer if MO-Score QM won't start because TCP/IP isn't installed.
