Rankings and Results Expressions of Interest Please?

Post by AlanF »

Hello all,

In an earlier post, I ran a poll to gauge the amount of interest in having the ozfclass rankings and results continue beyond my "retirement" at the end of this calendar year. While the response was quite small, (see https://www.ozfclass.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16959 ) of those who did respond, the majority view was that both the rankings and results history should be continued.

So now we come to an important question. Is there anybody who is prepared to do it?

The results pages are reasonably simple to do, although the NRAA results pages are quite awkward to copy and paste because of the antiquated way of handling Vs and Xs. But anyone with basic Excel and html experience should be okay.

The rankings will require some database development skills. While it is currently running satisfactorily on an old Excel version using VB code for processing, I have struggled to get it running on the current version. Besides, it should by its nature be on a database. Databases are not everyone's cup of tea (me included) so please don't volunteer if you have no experience developing small database apps.

I should add that TR rankings were temporarily added to it for a few months recently, and could be reinstated if there is a demand.

So if you're interested, or know someone else who doesn't frequent this forum who might be, then please PM me.

And I'm happy to answer questions here for the benefit of anyone who is considering it.
