Comparison: Hand Drawn vs. Computer
Hand Drawn (Problem) |
Computer Drawn(Solution) |
Hand drawn images are stick figures that are sometimes hard to identify. | Computer drawn images are imported from specifications. Drawings are body outlines and not sticks which make it much easier to ID. |
Hand Drawn tariff sheets when copied can have poor image quality. | Computer drawn tariff sheets are printed from the original and not copied, so they are originals when printed for the judges to review and use during competition. |
Element changes and or order sequence requires coach to redraw entire tariff sheet, thereby possibly adding new errors. | Electronic tariff sheets are saved. Revisions, additions, or order of elements can be manipulated without a redraw of entire sheet. |
Corrections and input from judges review is sometimes lost because hand drawn tariff sheets are thrown away and redrawn. | Input and collaboration from judges review from meet to meet is added upon and improved. |
Deductions are taken for illegible tariff sheets. | Image quality of tariff sheets will improve dramatically. Athletes will be judges are performance and not on illegible tariff sheets. |
