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.

Just use wise old man & track people in "competitions" that way?

Very similar to what I suggested, other than I suggested using templeosrs. :P They're both very similar.

Here is what a example of what the new skill comp could look like in terms of tracking peoples experience.

This Comp listed here includes all of the current skill competition competitors and was started at the same time of the current skill comp.

I like this, even with the website style I feel it'd just bring more attraction to some people simply because of that.
