Abstract
An inputtable and readable scheme for use with a score card utilized in combination with a golf course competition event. A first plurality of inputtable fields each correspond to an individual golf course hole. A second field is associated with a golf course identity and location, said second field further typically including a bar code assigned to the golf course. One or more third fields are associated with a participant identity and include a selection of either again a bar code identifier or a plurality of alpha-numeric input fields. The score card, upon completion of said first, second and third fields, is inputted into an appropriate and electro-optical card reader device for calculating the participant's score and handicap.

An inputtable and readable scheme for use with a score card utilized in combination with a competition event, said scheme comprising:
- a first plurality of inputtable fields, each of which corresponds to a subset score achieved in an individual portion of the competition event;
- at least one second field associated with an event identity and location, said at least one second field corresponding to a bar code assigned to said event identity and location;
- and
- at least one third field associated with a participant identity;
- the score card, upon completion of said first, second and third fields, being inputted into an appropriate and electro-optical card reader device for calculating the participant's score and handicap and for compiling and outputting such information for professional and amateur sporting events.

A sporting event score card employing an inputtable and readable scheme for use in recording a plurality of informational objectives associated with the competition event, said score card comprising:
- a first plurality of inputtable fields, each of which corresponds to a subset score achieved on an individual portion of the competition event hole, each of said first plurality of inputtable fields further comprising a plurality of indicia imprintable and numerical representations, indicia imprinting of a subset of said numerical representations corresponding to an achieved score for each of said fields;
- a second field associated with a golf course identity and location, said second field further comprising a bar code assigned to the golf course;
- and
- at least one third field associated with a participant identity;
- said score card, upon completion of said first, second and third fields, being inputted into an appropriate and electro-optical card reader device for calculating the participant's overall score and handicap and for compiling and outputting such information for professional and amateur sporting events.
