We have compiled tips for event organizers to efficiently and reliably enter scores.

Using a Numeric Keypad

Most laptops do not come with a numeric keypad (a keyboard for entering numbers), but a numeric keypad is essential for efficient score entry. Even if it's not included with your computer, external types that connect to your computer via USB or Bluetooth are available for purchase (for example, Amazon or <a (Many items are also available at Rakuten Market.) You can work efficiently by using touch typing on the numeric keypad (described in the next section).

Typing with Touch Typing

Touch typing (a method of typing without looking at the keyboard) is convenient for typing on a computer keyboard, and it is also effective on the numeric keypad. The "5" key on the numeric keypad has a bump; use this bump as a guide to locate the keys from 0 to 9 and then type. Furthermore, you can move to the next input field using the Tab key and Enter key, so for score entry alone, you can complete the input using only the numeric keypad. Note that some numeric keypads have a "BS" key, which is an abbreviation for "Back Space" and is used to delete characters.

Verification

After entering the scores, we recommend that two people verify that the scores on both the scorecard (paper) and the tournament system (Konpe-kun) match. One person reads out the score from the scorecard (paper), and the other person verifies that the score on Konpe-kun is correct. If you have enough time, we recommend checking the score for each hole and the 18-hole total; if you don't have much time, we recommend checking the 9-hole total and the 18-hole total as a minimum check.

Verification with Golf Course Staff Tallying

As a precaution, it is also a good idea to ask the golf course staff to tally the tournament results. You can verify the results more accurately by comparing the staff's tallying results with the results entered by the organizer.
