Re: Stats99 Question

Stats99 and forfeits:

If the tournament
rules indicate that a team that wins by forfeit wins by
some score (e.g. 100-0 or whatever), then it's an easy
fix: Use that score as the game score, list the game
as lasting zero tossups, with zero players for
either side participating in it.

If the idea is
that the standings get updated but the game somehow
didn't actually take place... hmm... team standings are
derived from the game scores. You could always
hard-coding the teams' win-loss totals on the standings page,
with the drawback that once you input a hard number,
one would have to keep changing the number (and would
probably forget to do so at some point).

Author of
the program apologizes for the lack of specific
documentation on that point -- it's something that came up
before (a long time ago) but not something thought of
when written.

Now that I program for a living,
it's amazing all the things I did wrong (just design
decisions and approach to the problem) looking back on it.
:-)

With one week to go before NAQT SCT, the claim
continues to be that some sort of improvement will exist
soon -- given the timetable it's most likely that I'll
only be able to fix any bugs and make minor
user-friendliness changes. :-/
