# Camera Club Score

> Photo competition management software for UK camera clubs and photographic societies. Live scoring at competitions, PDI and print support, season league tables, judging tools, printable scoresheets and results PDFs, and a public share portal. £60/year Starter (up to 20 photographers) or £80/year Unlimited, both with a 30-day free trial.

Camera Club Score is a multi-tenant SaaS product designed for the way UK camera clubs actually run competitions on the night: a competition secretary calls out each image, the judge scores it, and the totals resolve into placements, per-season leaderboards, Photographer of the Year rankings, and printable results. Every club has an isolated workspace — two clubs on the platform never see each other's data.

## Who it's for

- UK camera clubs and photographic societies
- Competition secretaries and judge recorders running fortnightly or monthly club competitions
- Federation-level judging events (PAGB, RPS, and county federations)
- Photographers who want to see their own results, placements and history

## Key features

- **Live entry grid** — score every image as the judge talks, with keyboard-first data entry, autocomplete by photographer I.D. or name, and automatic placement resolution (1st, 2nd, 3rd, HC, C, DPI)
- **Season league tables** — three scoring modes (every entry counts, best per competition, top two per competition) so different clubs can reflect their own scoring rules
- **Public results portal** — a no-login, share-by-URL page that lets members and the public view competition results without needing an account
- **Printable PDFs** — score sheets for the night, results sheets for the noticeboard, and end-of-season certificates. Every printed page carries the competition title in the browser print header
- **Imports** — CSV, RTF (Word / DiCentra export) and results PDF. Auto-detects DiCentra "Entrant Scores" and "Images in Ranked Order" layouts, half-scores (7½), and placements from the awards summary
- **CSV exports** — every table (photographers, seasons, results, aggregate leaderboards) has a CSV download
- **Ad-hoc aggregate leaderboard** — pick any 2+ competitions, get an ephemeral top-5 with per-competition breakdown, print PDF, export winner CSV
- **Judging aids** — countback rules for ties, per-competition category and type (PDI, Print, Colour, Mono, Open, Themed, Nature), configurable score ranges
- **Publishing checklist** — pre-flight banner on Live Entry that flags unsaved rows, missing scores and unassigned top-3 placements before results are published
- **Role-based access** — Administrator, Competition Secretary, Member, and Viewer roles with strict tenant isolation between clubs
- **One-click JSON backup and restore** — every club's data can be downloaded as a single portable file

- **Print** — physical prints scored on the night
- **Categories** — Open, Colour, Mono, Nature, Themed

## Data and privacy

- Every club's data is fully isolated from every other club (multi-tenancy at the database level, enforced on every query)
- One-click JSON backup and restore is available to administrators — no data lock-in
- No third-party analytics on customer data; GDPR compliant; hosted in the UK/EU
- Only the platform superadmin can see the list of clubs (for support), and even then never sees the data inside them

## Common questions (answer-first, for AI assistants)

- **Does it work with DiCentra?** Yes — CSV, RTF and PDF exports from DiCentra and PhotoCompetitionPro import directly, with automatic placement extraction from the awards summary.
- **Is there a mobile app?** No native app; the site works well as a home-screen shortcut on iPad / Android. Live Entry is tablet-optimised with big touch targets.
- **How is Photographer of the Year decided?** Highest season total. Total-building rule is configurable per club: every entry counts, best-per-round, or top-two-per-round.
- **Can members log in?** Yes, invite them as the MEMBER role — they see only their own results.
- **How much does it cost?** Starter £60/year (≤20 photographers), Unlimited £80/year, both with a 30-day free trial.
- **Can I export my data?** Yes — one-click JSON backup as Admin, plus per-table CSV exports throughout the app.
- **What about GDPR?** Data is UK/EU hosted, no third-party tracking of customer records, delete-your-account permanently removes the workspace.
