Computers aid archery tournament scoring

With a brand-new computer-aided scoring system at his disposal, Jerry Westfall can promise competitors in West Virginia's Archery in the Schools Tournament at least one thing:

"We won't be sitting around waiting for the awards ceremonies anymore," said Westfall, the state's Archery in the Schools coordinator.

Last spring, 500 competitors waited anxiously while officials pored over scorecards and laboriously hand-tabulated results. Westfall said that shouldn't happen in 2009.
