Version 11 is now available!
Version 11 has improved timetable editing and enhanced support for Artistic Gymnastics. Click here for more details of the changes.
Version 10 will continue to be supported until the end of 2024 for those who don’t wish to upgrade immediately.
Note that in order to fit all the new features in, we have had to set the minimum horizontal screen resolution to be 1280.
As XGA laptops were pretty well discontinued over 10 years ago, we don’t expect this to be a problem for anyone, but if it is then please get in touch with us.
VScore continues to support 1024 width devices as we know many of you still have XGA projectors.
Please choose either version 10 or 11 below.
Installation and Setup
Please click on these links to download and install the following components in the order given to get started with TScore:
- The PostgreSQL Database (v14.2.2 x64) (change the default install folder- See instructions )
- The NEW main TScore program – Version 11.0.30 OR The legacy Version 10.5.26
- The Judge’s app for Android tablets (v2.1.1) (Optional)
For information on how to install and get started with TScore, check out this page
If you are upgrading, please be sure to upgrade all of the computers in your scoring environment, as running mixed versions may occasionally cause scoring errors and other unwanted side effects.
Most upgrades are new features, minor improvements and fixes. Any that are important for some or all customers are highlighted below.
We advise that you upgrade at least every 6 months.

TScore Judge’s App download
TScore supports direct deduction scoring by judges using Android tablets for TRA, DMT and TUM.
There are two versions of the app. If you are running a recent version old Android (under 6 years old in general – ‘Lollipop’ or newer) you should be able to use Version 2.x.
If that refuses to install though, you can try the equivalent version 1.x which has better backwards compatibility, but doesn’t use the latest Android features.
Note that you may have to uninstall the previous version of the app to install the latest version, (as the signing certificate has changed).
Version 1.x appears as ‘TScore’. Version 2.x appears as ‘T-Judge’ on the tablet desktop.
Version x.6 release notes:
Version 1.6 and 2.0.6 have improved network connectivity that avoids ‘broadcasts’, making it more resilient to Wi-Fi problems.
The new versions have changed the order of the deductions buttons.
Download the app here:
Version 2.x (preferred)
TScore Judge App for Android v2.1.1 (17th Feb 2024)
Notes:
2.0.8 fixes:
More reliable tablet (re-)pairing from scoring screen
2.0.7 fixes:
IP addresses not updating correctly if the tablet changes IP address for any reason.
Cannot enter more than one full stop in the Server IP address settings field. (Works ok automatically)
Version 1.x (for older tablets – not all functionality implemented)
TScore App for Android v1.6.0 (11th Feb 2023)
Veriflite App download
Those of you using Amazon Fire tablets may not be able to get the Veriflite app from the Play store. So, here is an apk file you can download and install manually.
We are actively working with Veriflite to interface their ToF solution with TScore – watch this space!
Veriflite version 2.22.0 for Android (1st Dec 2023)
Veriflite version 2.27.0 for Android (October 2024)
PostgreSQL database download
New users should use Postgres version 14 on Windows (unless you have a 32-bit system, in which case you must use v10).
The Postgres downloads have the same zip password as the TScore file.
Download PostgreSQL Server 14.2 for Windows (64 bit)
Database versions: TScore has been run with Postgres versions 9, 10, 11 and 14, but the latest version is only tested regularly with Postgres 14.
Upgrading between minor versions (e.g. 10.2 to 10.11) appears to work without any issues. Upgrading major versions (9 to 10) can be more awkward.
Be sure to stop the old service before installing the new one, or Postgres will use a different port number!
In all cases, we recommend that you use the ‘Copy All Competition Databases’ export option first, so you have safe copies of everything.
If you want to re-import a whole load of saved competitions to a new installation, you can use the ‘Import Competition Database’ option, but provide a “*” wildcard rather than a filename rather than an individual file (e.g. c:\comps\2018\saved-comps\* ). Every .tsc export file in the folder will be imported as a competition.
Be careful exporting / importing between different versions though, as one problem has been encountered in this area. If you import from a newer version to an older one, you may need to delete some lines at the beginning of the tsc file to remove unsupported features. Contact us for help here.
If you are using Linux as your database server, Postgres is available directly from the integrated package manager.
TScore has been tested with version 14.2, but other versions are expected to work ok (compatibility has been very good historically).
Please be aware that new password hashing algorithm support means that if you use PostgreSQL v14, you will need to install a version of TScore at least 10.4.6 to get the newer ODBC driver. (Otherwise, you can work round the issue by editing the Postgres configuration file.)
If you still want to use PostgreSQL version 10 or 11, here are the downloads.
PostgreSQL Server 11.10 (64 bit)
PostgreSQL Server 10.11 (64 bit)
PostgreSQL Server 10.11 (32 bit)
Note that since March 2020 version 9 is unsupported by Postgres. We still expect TScore to continue to operate with Postgres v9, but there will be no security or other fixes from them, so you are best to upgrade.
The Postgres ODBC driver is built in to the TScore installer, so it should be on your system without any additional installation needed. However, we have heard of one instance where it did not install for some reason. If this happens you can get an error reported “[ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found”. If this happens you could try manually installing the driver, which can be downloaded here:
PostgreSQL ODBC driver v 13.2.0
or if you don’t need PostgreSQL v14 support:
PostgreSQL ODBC driver v 9.3.4
Documentation and Troubleshooting
Networking can be tricky – Windows has so many things that can stop it working! TScore now has a handy PowerShell script utility that detects common issues (like firewall permissions) and automatically fixes them. Just download and unzip this file – there is a document in there that explains how to run the script. If TScore still won’t connect after running the script, please send a copy of the output to TScore support and we will take a look!
Network configuration test script
Here are a number of helpful documents if you are still having trouble connecting to the TScore database.

App connection troubleshooting – documentation
TScore-User-Guide VScore User Guide TScore Artistic Guide (Beta)
Note: The TScore ZIP file is password protected. Please email support@tscore.co.uk for assistance. It is really helpful if you can provide a little bit of information such as what country you are in, what levels of competition you are considering using TScore for, and some idea of the competition grade/age structure, so we can make our support as helpful as possible.
Entry forms and class definitions
We always seem to be updating the class definitions and entry forms, so here are the latest sets you can download without needing a full TScore installation.
You’ll need to copy the class definition file(s) into your ‘C:\Users\Public\Documents\TScoreX\ClassDefns’ folder so that TScore finds them when you create a new competition.
Some may also include one or more ‘Lookup’ files – these are used to map USAG or BG age or grade designations to a standard set in the TScore classes. Copy these into the Lookups folder inside ClassDefns. (There is a readme in any Zips that require this)

Other useful extras
Here are some useful extra files to help with assigning officials to panels, and to generate ‘AVERY’-style printed label layouts from the TScore trophy labels sheet.
Printing Labels – Copy the PrintTrophyLabels sheet into your Timetable.xlsx worksheet, set the Trophy Labels sheet name in cell D1 and the number of label columns for your stationery in cell B1. (Although apparently Excel has a ‘print labels’ option now that might just do this anyway!)
Panel Editor – Copy the Officials list (name, club, role, AM/PM columns) into the first 5 columns of this sheet, then put an X where you want each official to be. Magic happens! Only support 4 panels at present, but easy to extend.
USAG Synchro Import Template – The USAG online entry system generates a ‘GroupPairExportSanction’ file, but this is not immediately suitable for TScore import. You need to pre-process the contents to change headers, work out the actual age group and gender. This template file does this for you, so you simply have to copy and paste 2 blocks of cells from the Export file into your copy of the template. Then just import the athlete list from that file as normal (using the Merge option is you already have other entrants). There is a brief video showing how to do this.

TScore version 10.4.9 / VScore version 10.4.2 (23rd Oct 2022)
Release Notes: This release comprises a big extension to Acro scoring (6E+6A judges, Height penalty) but very few other changes
However, the new version of VScore will warn you if run against older competition databases, as the updated schema means that you should upgrade each database before using VScore on it.
To do this, simply open the competition database in the new version of TScore. In practice, VScore will almost certainly run ok, unless you have an old Acro database, in which case the upgrade is essential.

Notes about specific recent versions (reasons to update!)
Version 10.2.73 has full support for USAG 2022, including ‘Best’ routine score for qualification. Also a number of improvements for networking/tablets.
Version 10.2.74 has a few minor tweaks and enhancements to make tablet use easier and fix a couple of anomalies with athletes who ‘salute’ vs ‘withdraw’.
Version 10.2.79 has a fix for qualifying scores not being loaded from older versions of class definition files, a correction to BG Regional 3 tumbling definition.
and an important fix specifically for BSGA Zonal Schools entry form processing – to allow for a relabelled column on the entry forms. It also fixes the obscure database connection problem that occurred in 74 if bold text labels were turned on.
