True. But I’d estimate at least half of players use it.
Spreadsheet would be more work imo. I mean, I don’t know how he does it now, but my guess is it’s transferred over to spreadsheet after event finishes and then is published. Still takes a long time.
Currently an Excel program grabs experience for everyone and then it's copy pasted into the google doc. It hasn't changed in many years since I wrote the program back when I used to run the competition. I'm not sure how that translates to other programs though. Doesn't take but a minute or two to run and copy/paste, but it has to be done manually. I wouldn't have much idea on how to add things like bingo, but anything related to experience tracking and hiscores wouldn't be that hard to add.
Hiscores would be nice, perhaps a point system so that it's not just first places. i.e. 4-5 points for 1st, 2 points for 2nd, 1 point for 3rd place.
An ironman competition would also not be that hard to implement, it would just be more work for the person running the competition.
I personally also recommend removing the disqualification except for namechangers. That would be a lot less work for the person running the competition considering the program does all of the experience checking and copy/pasting more zeroes isn't any more work.
