  • Patent number: 5027102
    Abstract: A scoring system for sporting contests includes positioning an appropriate number of judges about the site of the contest and providing each with a signalling device which is connected to a display which superimposes the points awarded on a picture of the contest. The picture is generated by a television camera positioned so as to present a view of the contest comparable to that of each judge. The signalling device for each judge is also connected to a computer which records and totals the scores thus provided and produces a total score. Variations of the system provide differential scores for the contestants for each increment of the contest.
