Life In 19x19

With the Cotsen Open in progress, I am reminded again of the frustration of being unable to see who is playing, and how they are doing. When will somebody create some software that produces results tables in html format for AGA tournaments? It cannot be so tough to do.

dost thou mean https://github.com/usgo/goleague or http://usgo.org/tournament/crosstabs **

**please note at time of posting the cotsen crosstabs were not available for posting

Let me rephrase: I wish more organizers did it.

* Yes, I did just rephrase someone else's comment for them. What about it?

More doing it on the aga site or their own?

The software is open source and if you are talented with php you can migrate it to your own site.

I could not care less. I just want yummy crosstables, I don't care where they go!

Hmm, maybe someone talented with php could make it so that people who aren't talented with php could migrate it.

I say talented with PHP, i know none so everyone who knows a little is talented!

I looked in vain for a crosstable, too. TD's routinely post partial crosstables during the tournament when pairings for the next round are posted. Why couldn't these also, in real time, be posted on the tournament website?

Crosstables are up on the aga website, though they aren't complete yet.

Those are nice, but you don't know what the starting rank of the players is. So there is no way of knowing the full order of results

Yeah, that annoyed me during last year's congress too...

So heres the deal:

that software is open. i had it designed to make simple and easy crosstables. the input file is based on a pytd xml file. checking the cotsen file it does have initial ranks from the software. the biggest thing people want is tie break information. that file doesnt have that information. i am sure that if someone makes their own online based td software they can incorporate this in that.

therefore if you want anything extra: fork it and program it.

sorry to bitch about it, but there are a lot of programmers around and no one wants to sack up and change things. if i could program (i forget every two weeks whatever i learn) i would sooooo do a lot.

rant over.

where is the software?
