ACE Scoring Software
To install the current release: download the Windows installer program install.exe using the link below and execute it (double-click on the downloaded file in Windows).
The installer download is a large file (24MB) and very slow over a dialup connection (1+ hr); if you do not have access to a fast broadband internet connection, you can contact me to obtain an installation CD for the software.
Update instructions for advanced users: if you have previously installed the ACES 6.2 software for the 2008 season and you understand unpacking .zip files, you can download a smaller .zip file containing just the delta of changed files relative to the previous build and copy it in over your existing ACEScoring directory to update only the changed files in your existing installation.
- aces_6.30_update.zip - 9KB - upgrade 6.2x installation to 6.30 release (updated ACEScoring/ProgramFiles/lib/aces.jar for 2009 - updated F factors)
Build Notes - release notes and information on recent modifications
Note for advanced users: If you know what "Java runtime" means and you already have JRE 1.4 installed, you can download the ACES installer without VM to install ACES without the 30MB bundled copy of the 1.4.0 JRE.
| System Requirements | Download | Install |
|---|---|---|
| Full ACES install | 25MB | 55MB |
| ACES w/out bundled JRE | 9MB | 12MB |

Sample Scoring Data
Several sample race series data sets provided if you would like to try out the scoring software and work through some simple examples of loading race results and computing event standings.
To install the sample race series, download the .zip file containng the sample race series data sets and unpack it into your ACEScoring installation directory. Several race series folders will be added under the ACESData data directory. A description of the sample data sets is included which explains what is provided and suggests some exercises you can try.
After downloading and unpacking the sample data, run the ACE Scoring software and use the File/Open command to open one of the sample race series. Now you can use the sample setup and the timing data that is provided with that example to work through the process of loading race results data and generate scoring reports.
