Spectator Judging enables fans to get in the judge’s seat and create audience scores and rankings in real-time during the competitions. Co-innovated with SAP and created as a revolutionary new idea with CHIO Aachen in 2013 to let the audience become personally engaged in the judging of dressage and vaulting tournaments, Spectator Judging meanwhile has become a highly welcomed fan offering at forward-thinking tournaments of all sizes up to the FEI World Cup Dressage Series. In 2017, Black Horse One and SAP, the market leader in enterprise application software, have joined forces bundling their expert knowledge in technology and fan engagement to present the new ‘Spectator Judging’ app – powered by SAP technology. GENERAL INFORMATION Choose between one of the following modes: · full mode: Full movement by movement scoring · short mode: Shortened test sheet · quick-mode: Single end result · young horses-mode: three marks for the gaits, one for the submission and one for the perspective Compare your results to the average of other spectators and to the scores of the official judges and help to make dressage events even more exciting! Event organisers may restrict which of these options are possible. Find a list of all supported events here: http://blackhorse88.com/projects/spectator-judging/#anchor_events Your marks and scores are stored on our server using an anonymised version of this device's primary e-mail address. We will not publish your individual data. You will find more information on this topic on the first launch.
