Do you have the dimensions of the scoring ramp? I mean the placement of the squares on the ramp, where are they compared to the sides and each other?

See the picture below.

It has been up for days on the 'field pictures' section of the main CDI page.

Good Luck.

the picture is blurry and hard to read, this is why I asked for dimensions. Please list what the numbers are supposed to be or have a sharper picture. thanks from a 'blind' engineer.

The numbers look okay on my screen. Perhaps it is just that I have seen them before.

In any case here is the basic dim. stuff.

The squares are all 9 1/2 by 9 1/2 so I won't go into them any more.

Skipping the dim's detailing the squares, the dim's on the left side of the ramp read (from top to bottom)

34 3/4
19
3 1/4

Again skipping the dim's for the squares, the dim's along the top of the ramp read (from left to right)

9 1/4 and 29 1/4

The entire ramp is 48 by 48 in true view.

The ramp is 6 inches high (less the carpet).

The sub-floor is a 3/4 inch piece of plywood, spaced down 3/4 of an inch (by a wood '1 by 3'). The sub-floor is carpeted in the color of the ramp (red or blue, depending on the side of the field).

The edges and middle support for the ramp are made from a '2 by 6' cut into right triangles, the legs of which are 5 1/4 and 47 11/16. (Which works out to be 47.975 inches for the long side of the triangle -- ideal for mounting a 48 X 48 inch sheet of plywood to ;-)

I hope that this clears things up a bit.
