How to use NAFAScore
NAFAScore creates your scoring file to submit to NAFA after the tournament.
- Go to the Tournament Info tab. Enter the event number.
- Go to the Timesheets tab and enter data from each of your tournament's C.2 forms.
- Shortcut: enter a best time override and you'll only need to enter the whole number for times. As you enter times, NAFAScore calculates the points.
- The data is stored in your browser. But make sure you save each time you enter a few timesheets.
- When you hit 'Save' two files are created: The .nsc backs up your data, and the .txt file is your scoring file. Save them where you can find them.
- You should test the generated .txt file here.
- Send the .txt file to NAFA at scoring@flyball.org

Tab between fields (Shift+Tab to go backwards). Hitting 'Enter' will also move you through the fields.
Automatic decimal place: If you enter three or more digits in any of the time fields (Seed Time, Best Time Override, Heat Times) and 'Tab'/'Enter', NAFAScore will create a three decimal place number for you. (e.g. Enter '12345' - NAFAScore will make it '12.345').
Create Defaults and Overrides: On the C.2 form check for the team's most commonly used lineup of dogs. Then set these in 'Step 3: Create Defaults and Overrides (optional)' section of the Timesheet. Setting the Best Time Override enables you to only enter the first part of the heat times (for example: 15 instead of 15.464).
Repeat a heat time for next heat: If the next heat has the same time, hit the '+' key and it will copy the last heat's time.

1. I can't see the file extension of the scoring file. Is it still okay?
Your computer is likely set up to hide extensions of common file types. Your scoring file is okay to test and send to scoring.
2. Can I score more than one tournament at once?
Yes, you can keep scoring tournaments and having them saved in NAFAScore. However, when you hit 'Save' or 'Save to Disk' the tournaments will be saved as a package so it's recommended that you score tournaments from the same tournament weekend, save them and then delete them from NAFAScore before you score your next tournament weekend. The limit of your browser's storage capacity is around 5MB. See 'How do I delete tournaments from NAFAScore?'.
3. How do I delete a race?
You can't delete a race, but by clearing any times, the race will be ignored when NAFAScore creates the scoring file.
4. Can I delete a timesheet?
You can't delete a timesheet but you can clear it by hitting the 'Clear Timesheet' button in the timesheet header. Timesheets with no data will be ignored when you create the scoring file.
5. How do I delete tournaments from NAFAScore?
To remove tournaments that are saved to your browser, hit the red 'x' beside the event number in the 'Tournament Info' tab. Before you do this, ensure that you've created a data file (hit 'Save' or 'Save to Disk' in Timesheets tab). This will enable you to reload the data for the tournament back into NAFAScore, should you need to in the future.
6. Where do I test the scoring file?
Please go to the following link where you can upload and test your scoring file: http://www.nafaflyball.com/database/scoring_data_test.php
7. I entered a CRN and it turned orange. Why?
This means that you're entering a Multibreed or Regular class team but the dog selected is not currently listed with the club. This may mean that the CRN was wrong on the timesheet, or it may be that the dog is legitimately changing teams.
8. If a team has 'Broken Out' (B/O) do I still enter the time?
Yes, B/O times can count for best time.
9. If a team has a 'No Finish' (N/F) or (INT) do I still enter it?
You don't need to enter the heat into NAFAScore, you can completely skip it, or leave the heat blank if it helps you to keep track from the C.2 form. NAFAScore will ignore any heats that don't have a valid time entered.
10. If a team ran less than 5 heats, do I need to clear the dog checkboxes for the extra heats (e.g. 3 of 5, 3 of 3, 4 of 4)?
No, just leave the dog checkboxes for the extra heats. NAFAScore will ignore any heats that don't have a valid time entered.
11. What is the 'Best Time Override' field for?
You can use 'Best Time Override' to speed up data entry. Once you've entered it, you only need to enter the heat times up to the decimal place (e.g. 15 instead of 15.998).
12. How do I indicate the team ran as 'Performance'?
You do this by selecting the 'Performance' checkbox beside the team name. You do not need to add an asterisk(*) in front of the team name (as was done in FBScore). The team's placement will be 0. This is defaulted for you when the 'Performance' checkbox is checked off.
13. Are there shortcuts/tips for speeding up data entry?
Tab between fields (Shift+Tab to go backwards): NAFAScore enables minimal switching between mouse and keyboard. You can tab between fields and add races and timesheets by tabbing through the fields and buttons.
Automatic decimal place: If you enter three or more digits in any of the time fields (Seed Time, Best Time Override, Heat Times) and 'Tab'/'Enter', NAFAScore will create a three decimal place number for you. (e.g. Enter '12345' - NAFAScore will make it '12.345').
Create Defaults and Overrides: By looking over the C.2 form you can tell if a team usually uses the same lineup of dogs. If so, set these in the 'Step 3: Create Defaults and Overrides (optional)' section of the Timesheet. Best Time Override enables you to only enter the first part of the time (for example: 15 instead of 15.464).
Repeat a heat time for next heat: If the next heat has the same time, hit the '+' key and it will automatically copy the time from the last heat for which you entered a time on that timesheet.
