Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention is a golf score aggregation system that automatically aggregates and outputs the gross score, net score, performance ranking, etc. by inputting each player's score for each hole after the competition. Regarding machines.

In golf competitions, various handicap systems such as the Perrier system and the Callaway system are used to determine the ranking of results.

However, with various handicap systems such as the Peria system and the Callaway system, it is difficult to calculate the handicap.
Moreover, none of the players is informed of the handicap hole until the end of the competition, and furthermore, it is impossible to calculate the handicap unless the score of each player on the handicap hole is known, so it is not possible to calculate the handicap until after the competition is over. Unable to calculate handicap.

Therefore, the task of aggregating the net scores of each player and determining the ranking of the results is extremely troublesome and time consuming. Moreover, the more participants there are, the more troublesome and time-consuming it becomes. Moreover, the tallying must be done quickly and accurately within a short period of time from the end of the competition to the announcement of the results, making it especially difficult.

In order to solve these troubles, this invention allows you to calculate each player's gross score, handicap, net score, performance ranking, etc. by simply inputting each player's score for each hole without having to calculate the handicap each time. It is automatically aggregated. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

In order to use the score aggregation machine of the present invention as described above to tally when the handicap system is the Peria system, the following steps (1) can be performed in the following order.

(1) Enter the par for each course at the golf course where you are using the tally machine. For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 3, do the following.

Course par registration key 8 of input data selection section 1
Operate (for example, press).

Enter the hole number from the numerical input section 3. Normally the number of holes at a golf course is at most 36, so 37
If a value greater than the above is entered, it will be treated as an error and will not be entered.

Enter the number of pars for each hole from the numerical input section. Normally, the maximum number of pars for one hole is 5, so when a number of 6 or more is input, it is treated as an error and is not input.

The above operations are repeated to store the par number of each hole in the course par storage section 39.

(2) Enter the hidden hole. For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 4, do the following.

Hidden hole registration key 1 in input data selection section 1
Operate 1.

In the case of the Peria method, the number of hidden holes is determined to be 6, so the hole number selection key 12b, which is displayed as 6 holes, is selectively operated.

Enter six hole numbers for hidden holes from the numerical input section 3.

The data of the hidden hole is input by the above operation and is stored in the hidden hole storage section.

The above operation (1) can be performed first at the golf course when the tabulation machine of the present invention is purchased, and the operation (2) can be performed by the person in charge at the golf course before the start of the competition. good.

(3) When the competition is over, enter the scores in order from the player who finished. To do this, do the following as shown in FIG.

Operate the score registration key 6 of the input data selection section 1.

The player selects the group number key on which the group number of the player to input is displayed from among the group number keys 13a to 13t and inputs the group number. Then batting order key 1
The player selects the batting order key on which the batting order of the player to input is displayed from among 4a to 14d and inputs the batting order.

OUT key 15a, 15 depending on whether the score to be input is OUT or IN.
b. Select one of the IN keys 16a and 16b.

Scores for every 9 holes are input continuously from the numerical input section 3. Half score display section 2 in Figure 1
Since only up to two digits of 9 can be displayed, if a score of 99 or higher is entered, it will be treated as an input error and will not be entered.

As a result, the score for each hole is stored in the score storage section 41.

By repeating the above steps ~, it is possible to input the scores for each OUT and IN of each player.

(4) To output the score sheet 49a or 49b as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the following steps can be performed as shown in FIG.

Select and input either the scorecard (bright) key 25a or the scorecard (collection) key 25b of the output instruction section 4. As a result, the results table (tally) shown in Figure 8
Alternatively, the output form of the gradebook (details) shown in FIG. 9 is determined.

The peria key 24e is selected from the output instruction section 4. This determines the handicap calculation formula.

Specify the range of players whose results are to be tallied using the program selection input section 2. For example, 1 to 10 groups.

As a result, in the case of the Peria system, the handicap is calculated in the handicap calculation circuit 44 using the already selected calculation formula with reference to the score and course par storage 39, and is stored in the handicap storage section 41.

When the handicap is stored, the ranking determination circuit 45 calculates the gross and net by referring to the handicap and the scores stored in the score storage section 41, and stores them in the storage section 37.

Next, a ranking determination circuit 45 sorts the rankings of the results by referring to the net scores of each player, and determines the rankings.

Once the ranking has been determined, the gradebook (bright) key 25a or gradebook (collection) key 25b that has been input first is pressed.
Based on the input from
The results are edited in the following format, and one of the report cards is output from the printer 48.

Gradebook (details) 49a, Gradebook (summary) 49b
To output the current date, it is sufficient to select the date registration key 10 and then input the numerical value of the date using the numeric keypad.

The above explanation is for the handicap system that uses hidden holes, but in the case of the official handicap system that does not use hidden holes, the procedure is as follows, as shown in FIG.

The handicap registration key 7 of the input data selection section 1 is selected without performing the operation of storing the hidden hole in (2) above.

Select the group number key on which the player's group number is displayed from group number keys 13a to 13t,
Next, select a batting order key.

The numerical value of the official handicap is inputted from the numerical value input section 3, and the official handicap is stored in the already selected set number. Normally, the official handicap is up to 40, so if a number over 41 is entered, it will be treated as an error and will not be entered.

By repeating the above operations, the official handicap of each player is stored in the handicap memory 41.

After that, you can operate in the same way as in the handicap method that uses hidden holes.

As described above, the present invention includes at least the input section 36 for inputting various data, the error determination circuit 43 for determining errors in the input data, the storage section 37 for storing the input data, and the input section 36 for inputting various data. A central processing circuit 42 that calculates data and other various data, a handicap calculation circuit 44 that calculates a handicap based on input data, and a handicap calculated by the input score and handicap calculation circuit. A ranking determining circuit 45 that determines the ranking from If you input and memorize the data, you can calculate the net score from each player's handicap by simply entering the group number and batting order within the group for each player after play, and then entering the score for each hole. Grade rankings are automatically tallied. Therefore, scores can be tallied easily and quickly, and anyone can easily and accurately tally them, which is very convenient.
