Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see results in draw order?
Yes. All the columns in tables are sortable. Click the title bar to re-order. Click it again to order the other way.
How do I add more results?
Register, then click the Contest Results link on the right hand side. Follow the instructions provided.
What contests can I add?
Any! The more the merrier. Only real contests though please, don't make any up!
What do I do for an own choice contest?
Add the contest as normal, leaving the test piece blank. When complete, edit each individual using the edit link and fill in the test piece. It is not yet possible to add pieces here, fill in the feedback form and we'll sort it.
What do I do for an entertainments contest?
Add the contest as normal, leaving the test piece blank. When completed, edit the results for any programmes you know and add the programme in the notes field.
What happens for a combined contest with test piece/entertainments sections?
Put the total points in the points column. Fill the test pieces in as normal, put the entertainments programme (where known) in the notes field.
What do I do if a band is disqualified or withdrawn?
Miss them out of the results. The site aims to record the final result that stands, so disqualifications and withdrawls are irrelevant.
How do I fill in more details?
If you added a contest and now have more details to add to existing rows, login and use the edit link on each result. If you have more results to add to a contest, use the Add More Results link below the results table. If this doesn't appear, then please use the feedback box and we'll change it for you.
The square at the top right hand corner of your user profile is an avatar. This is also shown on each contest you have added. These images come from http://www.gravatar.com/ and are automatically generated from your email address. The idea behind gravatars is that they are global, and can be used on multiple sites. To change the image that is displayed, go to http://www.gravatar.com/, sign up, and then upload your desired image.
Can you provide me with web services into your data?
The site is fully XHTML, so you can use a standard XML parser with an HTTP library to read the links and process the data however you want to. Any problems, let us know and we'll fix them.
