(**) The default scoring system is the first entry in the list of scoring systems. You can change order of scoring systems in the list. Move your preferred scoring system to the top of the list to make it the new default (see instructions below).

Extended settings allow to configure certain aspects of app behavior. Change extended settings on the 'New Event' screen. Tap on the pencil icon to open the Extended Settings screen. Make you changes, then tap 'Save'. Settings are persistent.

The following extended settings are available

• Accelerated Scoring
• Automatic target switch
• Voice announcements

Hint: You can change settings during an event, except for Voice announcements, which must be activated before event begins. To change settings while event is in progress, tap on the gearwheel icon show at the bottom of the target scoring screen.

Option affects scoring systems w/ multiple arrows per target/end only.
If enabled, open scores are automatically scored as 'miss'. Option can help minimize no. of taps required to complete scoring, but also disables score completeness checks. Warnings for missing scores are disabled (because these are considered 'miss').
Please note that you still need to score at least one arrow per target/end. Default for this setting is 'off'.

Setting changes app behaviour when scoring of current target is completed, i.e. scores for all archers have been set. If enabled, the app will automatically switch to next target when scoring is completed. You save one tap. The disadvantage is you cannot review scores before moving on. Default for this setting is 'off'.

Voice announcements must be activated before you start the event, but you can mute/unmute voice announcements at any time during the event. Tap on the gearwheel icon shown at bottom center of target scoring screen. Tap 'Mute voice announcements' to mute, tap again to unmute. Default for this setting is 'off'.

Important: Voice announcement requires 'Ring'/'Silent' switch on the iPhone set to 'Ring', i.e. read marker on the switch not visible. Check position of the switch and adjust audio volume settings. If switch position is 'Silent' and/or volume is too low you cannot hear voice announcements.

Setting controls visibility of archer total scores on target scoring screen. Switch 'on' to display total scores in addition to target scores. Default for this setting is 'off'.

Setting controls visibility of target distance on target scoring screen. Switch 'on' to display target distance in addition to target description. In order to display target description and target distance, you must use a course which has both, target descriptions and target distances included. Target description, if available, is displayed automatically. Default for this setting is 'off'.

Use Extended Setting (see below) 'Automatic target switch' if you want the app to automatically switch to next target when scoring is completed, i.e. score for all archers has been set.

The default scoring system for new event can be changed in a similar manner.

You do not need a course. You can start an event w/o a course.

A course contains additional useful information which is associated with an event if you select the course for an event. Some information is shown during the event, other information is used to create/improve statistics and is stored as part of event result in event history.

A course can include target information. Target information consists of a description (e.g. Grizzly), a distance and notes for every target. Target description is shown on the target scoring screen, distance and notes are only a tap away. Tap on 'Target #' to view/edit target information from the scoring screen. This allows to edit target information during an event (if a course was selected for the event). Target distance, if provided, is included in event statistics and used to create distance-based statistics.

Hint: Courses are not only useful for 3D archery, but are also useful when shooting targets. Create a course, add a target for every end, and include target distance information. Use the course for your indoor/outdoor target shots to get additional statistics by target distance.
