Round Report on Stats

Postby Grams's Go-Go Boots » Sun Sep 13, 2009 3:04 pm

Hi everyone!

Round report on statistics in SQBS are an amazing thing. They let you compare the conversion of a particular round to the conversion of another particular round, and that is useful! So, if you're putting stats up, please make sure to enable these.

However, if you see a set of stats where someone has not enabled round report, you don't have to post in that thread to request round report! This gets really annoying, especially when it happens in practically every single thread. Try contacting the user by PM or email!

Thanks!

It would probably be more productive to just get this enabled by default in SQBS. Anyone know if the developer is still working on the project at all?

Quick question - are there any programs like SQBS that are available for MAC platform/format?

Avram wrote a web based statistics program which can be found here. Contact him for more details and if you want to use it.

I think there are ways to run Windows on a Mac, which would probably be less complicated than trying to learn how to use Avram's code-based system.

But significantly more expensive. I actually think using his system is easier than SQBS; there is no coding involved from the user, and stats can be entered from any computer with an internet connection.

The project page is actually http://code.google.com/p/qbsql/, and it's certainly not necessary to contact me for information or permission before using QBSQL, although I'm glad to help if someone has questions. If you would like to have your next tournament's stats hosted on http://quizbowl.gimranov.com/, then you will need to let me know so I can set up a tournament for you.

Also, QBSQL has round report built in to the Round Summaries page, although that feature isn't in the 0.5.3 release on the Google Code downloads page; anyone installing will need to grab those revisions from the repository.

The current QBSQL 0.6.1 release (http://qbsql.googlecode.com/files/qbsql-0.6.1.zip) now includes Round Summaries by default. It also has basic error checking and data validation.

Could try using WINE, works fine under WINE in Linux.
