Claim 16:
17. A method for scoring a participant in a competitive activity, the method comprising:
receiving, at a mobile device one or more user inputted preliminary judgements of the participant in the competitive activity being performed within a defined geographical area, the one or more preliminary judgements being inputted into an input interface presented to the user on a graphical display of the mobile device, the input interface formed by a template by which each participants' activities are to be judged by the user, and being received at the mobile device via the graphical display presented by an application that runs on the mobile device; and
generating, by the application running on the mobile device user authentication data comprising one or more of: a user identifier, a mobile device identifier, and location data representing a location of the mobile device;
transmitting, over a communication network by the mobile device to a server system, the user inputted preliminary judgement and the user authentication data;
verifying, by the server system, using the user authentication data one or more of: an identity of the user, an identity of the mobile device, and/or whether the mobile device is within the defined geographical area based on the location of the mobile device, the verifying resulting in authenticating one or more users;
accessing, by the server system, a database storing an identity of the competitive activity, an identity of the participants in the competitive activity, an identity of each authenticated user judging the competitive activity, a list of actions by which each participant's actions are to be judged, and the preliminary judgements inputted to the template by each authenticated user judging the competitive activity;
evaluating, by the server system, each of the preliminary judgements to produce an evaluated judgement;
aggregating, by the server system, the evaluated judgements to generate a final judgement; and
transmitting, from the server system over the communication network for presentation to the user via the user interface on the mobile communication device, the final judgement.
