Hi Stu,

So each event would have its own Mac? and they would all be networked on ?

Why not have each computer create a specially formatted text file that could be
sent to the Master Mac. The Master Mac then could, at the operator's leisure,
read the data from each of the text files into your Program.

Like, have menu items for "Balance Beam" and "Floor Exercises" and when one of
these was selected, the data from a specific text file, containing the current
results for the "Balance Beam", would be read into your Program. It would appear
that you're going to have a separate Program for each of the events anyway,
right? Don't know if this has been any help, but it seems fairly simple.
