Computer Tech
Each tournament requires one person to run the scoring software and generate reports for the head judge to determine the winners. You don't need to be a computer expert, but you do have to be comfortable with one. We will train you on how to run the software before your tournament. For more information on the scoring software please see the FLL-SW homepage. From there you can download it and try it out on your own computer. Contact Jon Schewe, jpschewe@mtu.net  with questions.
