CDE Tabulations

California Career Development Event Tabulations Programs

Program Features:

Contest and Class titles are user defined. Up to 24 classes may be defined.
Classes for Hormel, reasons, and scores up to 9999 are supported. Hormel scoring is automatic.
Classes can be configured to automatically multiply a raw score for proper weighting of the class. The multiplier can be changed to 0 or a class may be hidden during a contest to drop a class from tabulations.
Sub contest results can be defined for any group of classes. Sub contests can use the same sorting order (tie breaking) as the overall contest or a specific sort can be defined.
Data entry by keyboard and/or bar coded form (uses a light pen). Keyboard entry by class, class/group, contestant, and missing scores only are supported. Special data entry/scoring is provided for Keep/Cull, Grading, Milk Quality, and Land Judging
Scores can be imported from simple CSV files. This option is useful for importing from OMR scoring machines. See documentation for OMR scoring options and forms.
Teams can be any size, team scores are computed from the designated number of high individuals (ex. Top 3 of 4 or top 5 of 5).
Contestants can be grouped for rotations and data entry automatically or manually.
Teams can be grouped for separate results reporting (within a single contest). Useful for combined FFA and 4H contests.
Contestants can be grouped for results reporting (ex. 4H age groups).
Contest materials can be printed on your forms (ex. score sheet, Scantron) or as bar coded cards (ex. judging cards)
Name tags, judges sheets, and other support materials can be printed including randomized reasons orders and contestant lists.
Contestants can be imported from external systems such as the CalAgEd Online Registration system, databases, or spreadsheets.
Double checking can be practiced by printing double check sheets during data entry or by comparing the data entry of two separate computers. A check tabulations report is provided to check for missing and out of range scores.
Results can be printed at any time.
Official placing and cuts can be entered at anytime before printing final results.
Raw tabulations and status reports to aid score checking can be printed or viewed.

OMR Land Form Updated for CATA Code

Version 2.08a Problems/Issues

Version 2.08 Problems/Issues

Beef Slaughter Grading Official displays carcass grades not quality grades. Fixed in version 2.08a.
Remark Templates for 25 question tests are not included in the delivery. Fixed in version 2.08a.
"BLANK" entries are imported into the scoring key with a point value of "1" so they will be used . Fixed in version 2.08a so they now import with a point value of "0".
OMR Keep/Cull cards are not correctly imported. Fixed in version 2.08a.
OMR Beef Carcass grading officials can not be entered allowing for scoring of the cards. Fixed in version 2.08a.

Key Score with Remark OMR will not work if all five bubbles are marked on the key. E.g. (A,B,C,D,E). The key data truncates the answer so the question is marked wrong for all. Workaround: Increase the size of the Answer field in the Key table to 12 characters.
