I will make a post in this forum for everyone to add your scores to. I will answer any questions, but please don't PM me your scores. It's much easier for me to have them all in one place.
Also, I need one more person to join (or I can just axe off Andy, lol). Lefty210 never gave me an average, hasn't returned my message, and missed a lot of weeks last year. I will probably be less lenient on non-posters this year. I don't have time to track people down, and your partner deserves someone who is interested.
I only meant to temporarily lock the signup post. I didn't know you couldn't unlock it.

janderson - Just post your individual games and series. I just type them into an Excel spread sheet. I only use the series, but like to give recognition to big games. What is a parsing program? I love to find anything to make my life easier.
No problem Debs. There might be one or two blinds the first week, but I hated to wait too long to start.
First person to post gets Lefty210's spot. I'm off tomorrow, and can assign teams since I'll have the time.

Strider, when are the scores due, and does the 11th count as week 1 ending, or week 2 beginning...My first day is the 11th.

FES-As a man who respects himself, I have to break up with you, and there is nothing you can say to chnage that
Nina-My parents are jerks and I want to get back at them by doing it with you on their bed.
FES (extremely quickly)-Except that.
I'll take a stab at this one, since the 5th is on a Sunday, and the 11th is on a Saturday, the scores for the 11th would be used for the first week.
Since you are bowling on the last day of the week, he would probably like to see the scores no later than Sunday.
Hey Detective Strider, did I get it right????
Wife says I've never been right in my life, want to prove her wrong.

Correct SrK. There's a first time for everything (I'm sure that will be your wife's reply as well). The week is Sunday to Saturday. The 11th is week #1 since it's 9/5 - 9/11.
I know everyone doesn't have access to a computer during the weekend, so please have your scores turned in by the Tuesday after the week ends (9/14 for week #1 for example). The recap will be anywhere from Wednesday to Friday depending on when I get all of the scores, and when my schedule allows.

Since this is my first time participating, I have a couple of questions?
1) If I started league on 9/3, that week's scores would not be used at all. My scores for the 10th would be reported as your Week #1 even though it's my week #2?????
2) How many weeks does the tournament run?

Yeah, you have to be careful when using the term anchor when I'm around. I can sink a team with the best of them.

What is a parsing program?
I should have said "string parsing". Simply put, it is a program that seeks for specific patterns in a body of text and performs certain actions on the text based on what it finds.
Basically, I was thinking that you might do a big copy of the entire posting web page (when people post their scores) and then paste it into a parsing program. The parsing program's job would be to filter through the text you feed it, filtering through all the letters, numbers, symbols, drawing out the scores automatically. For that to work, people would need to enter their scores in a specific format so the parsing program could find them. The format could be something like:
##name SCORE week:99 999-999-999:999
For example, a valid entry would be
##strider SCORE week:12 229-198-210:637
The object is simply to create a format that is easy to follow (for posters) and differs from the rest of the text in the page (so the parsing program can "find" the scores). Then the parsing program saves you 99% of the data-entry problems.
Anyway, it was just a thought, my being a computer geek just assumed you had some sort of parsing program set up...

At least I made an Excel program. I think RooCat used to do it all manually.

I'll need to take a blind for the first week, since I don't begin any league until September 12.

Perfect partner. i bowl like I'm blind anyway.
Just ask Strider and Sr. K they've seen it in action.

I'll be worshiping at the church of the FPC every Monday night.

With my taking a blind, we just might have a fighting chance the first week.
