Is the capability to export HTML scoresheets still present? If not, can it be put back?

Captain Sinico

Rooms M101, M102, M103, and M105 seem suitable.

Captain Sinico

Where should we meet? This whole floor's pretty big! I nominate the couches outside the Imperial Ballroom, near the elevator shafts.

Captain Sinico

I'd like to play, but will read if needed.

Captain Sinico

This is a good blow-by-blow that I personally appreciate very much, for one of the great comebacks in the game (and yet another that I was on the wrong side of!) Though played on trash, as a pure game moment, this was superior. I'd also like to add: this game should have been put away for us very ea...

Our second of 2 phase-two tryouts will conclude this evening, so please look back here for team announcements later this week!

Sure, just e-mail me.

Captain Sinico

I'm waiting to hear some details from NIU, but I hope not.

Captain Sinico

Anticipate 2-3 hours.

Captain Sinico

I only expect players to attend one tryout.

We'll use a not-publically-available set set that nobody should have seen; I'll announce what that is once I finalize it.

Captain Sinico

While regretting preempting some necessary and, hopefully, corrective discussion, I will nevertheless do so to let you know: this thread is where you'll find Team Illinois information. Please check it out!

Captain Sinico

We went final at about 5:45 with Stevenson A taking the third game of our 3-game finals series against Barrington to take home the William & Janet Egan Memorial Trophy. Naperville North were 3rd.

Phase II stats.

Captain Sinico

A quick night-before update: Dunlap has been replaced by Southwestern B. Thanks to Coach Hasquin for agreeing to send a second squad and thanks to several other teams for also expressing willingness to fill that gap. A new schedule is thus needed. The schedule contains some other adjustments that pr...

Captain Sinico

A team (Dunlap) has had to withdraw, so we have an open spot in the schedule. Please contact me right away if you'd like to take that for your team.

Captain Sinico

It won't be WAO, as I know several candidates played that already.

Captain Sinico

Alright, assholes! What am I bid for my services?!

(I'll be there; I'll play anything with anyone.)

Captain Sinico

This year's ISC draws near, so how about an update? CHECK-IN & MEETING TIME First, let me firm up our start time. It's as expected above: teams can check in with Mike Laudermith beginning at 8:00 outside Room 114 David Kinley Hall. The opening meeting will begin at 8:40 in 114 DKH. Rounds slated...

Captain Sinico

This is at ICT? I'd love to play! Please note that I suck more now, but don't neg any less, so look out for that.

Captain Sinico

You chumps must have done something very wrong, because Chris Vicich and I are forming a team.

Captain Sinico

I'm worthless and old, but a team might have some use for me. Send me offers!

If not, I'll wind up reading and writing editors' questions, and I think we can all agree none of us want that.

Captain Sinico

I recall that the "You're a _____. Answer the following about your life." style of question began as a sardonic, ham-handed, and thus totally appropriate response to an ill-conceived crusade for more social history, the latter possibly led by one or both Wehrman brothers. The first such qu...

Captain Sinico

It's fixed now for me as well. Thanks! Since I can get back in again, I can see that "/" is rendering as "/" in both tournament names and descriptions. (Obviously not very important.) A couple other usage notes/suggestions, after using Neg5 to enter stats from paper scor...

Captain Sinico

I can't log in or view stats as of today. Is something down for maintenance?

Probably not relatedly, I had a tournament with a "/" in its name and comments section. That / got rendered properly sometimes and not others.

Captain Sinico

As Tom said, Auburn High School of Rockford overcame Hinsdale Central High School A in the 3rd and final game of a best-of-3 finals. Congratulations to the Knights for holding the Egan Trophy in a series of most thrilling games! It was a special honor for me to read them and direct the tournament of...

Captain Sinico

It sure is!

Captain Sinico

The schedule is (at last, back once again!) up and available to view (and note that versions from earlier than 23:00 tonight will have the Phase I schedule correct, but the format substantially wrong!) If you spot any problems with it, let me know. Also, our plan is to use Neg5 for stats. Check thos...

Captain Sinico

According to my calculations, the following schools are Small Schools per NAQT's definition and thus their teams are eligible for our Small School title on Saturday: Warrensburg-Latham (241) Morrison (246) Piasa Southwestern (370) Greenville (407) Macomb (434). (The parenthetical figures are the sch...

Here are a couple answers to questions I've received recently: 1. "How hard is Division II SCT?" While I summarized this upthread relative to your average IS Set, and that's certainly instructive, you can get more information here . 2. "Is the 7 rounds just the initial part of the sch...

Also adding a new scoresheet can result in scored stuck on 0!

That's excellent. Thanks again for all your work - this is already wonderful and can easily get even better! To my way of thinking, the ability to correct input errors is much more important than the ability to track bonus parts, so it might be worth it to shelve the latter for now if it helps get t...

Captain Sinico

I'm testing this out and it sure looks great! I'd like to suggest one thing. On the scoresheet page, you should add the ability to change already-entered scoring on a question. As it is now, making a mistake will almost always cause the scoresheet to be wrong in a way that's impossible to correct un...
