The new tournament list is now available
Go to the home page to submit tournaments or results, or to view them. You are encouraged to submit older stuff from this year for the sake of completeness.

Similarly, some tournaments qualify for multiple championships (i.e., the BATT had both PACE and NAQT qualifications). Maybe checkboxes would work best for that field.

I considered that, but the existence of the thread "What are the Regional Dividing Lines?" convinced me that there is no agreement as to what constitutes a region. It doesn't take that long to search a few states.
'None' has been added as a qualifying option, as has 'NSC & HSNCT'.

It should be emailed to you once the tournament is approved. This will depend on my access to the site; I will try to keep up whenever I am at home or on campus, but during classes, work, sleeping, et cetera it may be a few hours. At the most, turnaround will be 24 hours.pakman044 wrote:How long does it take for the "tournament ID" for login purposes to come out?

Once everything is working I will see about getting other people able to approve tournaments, in order to get more coverage.
I just found a serious glitch in the code. Please if you are reading this, don't submit a tournament until I post here again saying it's good to do so.
If you already have, don't worry. It won't be lost, it's just that i don't want any new tournaments gunking up the database while I test the code.

Are you absolutely sure? It seems to work for everyone else. If you really haven't (and you might have not, I was making changes to the programs about the time you submitted yours, it might have fallen thorught the cracks) tell me and I'll email you personally the requisite data.

Ditto here, Noah. I submitted the Bobcat Bowl, but never received a reply. I submitted it before you made your changed in the code, though, so maybe it was due to that.
Also, would it be possible to sort the tournaments by date? Or better yet, do a sort based upon a user-defined criterion?

They are sorted by date, when you search them by any criterion. User-defiend criterion create security issues.
I'll email you your stuff. The bug I fixed prevented the auto-emailer form working, now I see more clearly what happened.

You can now submit results for tournaments with teams tied for places.

I've now adjusted the result search scripts so it'll pull up similar team names and not be so anal about exactness (eg. it'll pull up Maggie Walker HS, Maggie Walker A, and Maggie Walker even if you just search for Maggie Walker)

Two suggestions:
1) I think tournaments should be sorted by date, not by month, as it is now. It's strange to see a tournament being held in 2004 come before a tournament already held in 2003.
2) Perhaps the "results" link should not be put up until there are actually results. This would make it easier to differentiate between upcoming events and past events.

Leo: the tournaments are now sorted as you requested.

I've noticed that some people are not submitting tournament results because the forms don't support multiple divisions or classes of play.
To TDs: How big of a problem has this been for you regarding this site?
To players: How badly do you want to see results broken down this way?
If there is enough support for this, I'll change the scripts so that multiple divisions per tournament will be supported.
And don't worry Weiner, I won't charge you extra :)

I know its a big deal for me when I submitted VHSL state results. As you noticed I put in three different tournaments. But I'd rather have put in three divisions of 1 tournament.solonqb wrote:I've noticed that some people are not submitting tournament results because the forms don't support multiple divisions or classes of play.

Now that i've probably antagonized half the board with all the posts urging people to submit their tournaments, let me justify myself.
I just got a little piqued by seeing tournaments posted here and discussed without TDs also putting them and their results in the database, something that was meant to make the process easier by providing a searchable index of tourneys and results. I also got sick and tired of entering other people's results a month after their tournament had passed.
Commence the stone-throwing.

If some of you happen to receive automated emails giving you information that your tournament has been accepted, and you didn't submit one, rest assured that the system is not out of whack. I submitted them for you since apparently nothing for that tournnament has been submitted yet, and I have designated you as contact beacuse I assumed you were the person on this board most affiliated with that tournament. If you take serious exception to this policy, just email me and I'll take the necessary action.

Noah, I understand your zeal for your new tournament database, and I do agree that it's a pretty good idea. But, your posting in every single tournament thread so that they will post the tournament and results into the database--at least in my opinion (which means little to most people here apparently)--is getting a little bit irritating. It's not the end of the world if something doesnt get posted. Most of us are doing our best to post tournaments and results--I know I've done something like 5 of them myself. Just bear with us Noah, we're trying.

You have to be pretty irritable to be irritated by something like this. I understand you don't like seeing 10 threads in regular season tournaments being posted in in a few minutes, but solon is doing us all a favor by being a bit anal retentive about this.But, your posting in every single tournament thread so that they will post the tournament and results into the database--at least in my opinion (which means little to most people here apparently)--is getting a little bit irritating.

Doug, I see what you mean, and in future I'll refrain from flooding the board with such posts. But I don't think these people are even aware of it. I'm just trying to inform them.

Matt, Noah, would it be possible to start having this site record the results of collegiate tournaments?

I spoke to Matt about that when I began this, and he said he didn't want to step on Michael Falk's toes.
http://www.e-falk.com/qb/ does that already.

I'll address that issue shortly. For now, don't give tournaments the same name (ie, add the year or a number for the same tournament in different years)

Thanks Noah. I just submitted the Maryland Classic.
One very small concern I have is, when I was entering the quarterfinalists, all 5T, the team I entered in the 5th place spot is listed in the eighth row and 8th place spot is listed in the fifth row, same for "6th" and "7th." It is not that important, just wanted to bring it to your attention.

Weiner's right. In any case, the records are internally sorted by place before listing them, which takes precedence over anything else.

I just resolved the results issue for tournaments with the same name. However, try to give tournaments that recur from year to year unique names or identifiers, such as ordinal numbers or years.
