Yahoo's monumental fark-up of OzTips and our Tipping Comp

red_dave · Post by **red_dave** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 10:22 am

Option 1 would involve putting up with constant tipping fark-ups, changes to cut-off times and scoring issues.

Option 2 would involve everyone PMing me tips and me basically calculating everything manually.

I'm happy to go either way and we can look at next season closer to the date.

Happy either way........... I am already being called Dave for the rest of this year

If it's not too much trouble would much prefer if you did it.

Ditch them mate...something that is run on a computer SHOULD be seamless.

My 2c worth.

Not fussed either way mate. I haven't had any real drama's with it though.

To do it manually will be a pain in the arse though I reckon

With a newborn in the house, chances are the name Dave won't be uttered at your place at all for the rest of this year

....and I'm with Glen, I haven't really had any issues yet so I'm not fussed either way

I swear I was winning, I know it doesn't look like I'm even registered but I was six points ahead before the latest system screw up. I vote for a manual system for the rest of the year so I can continue to extend my lead...

I may be able to help. I'm a software engineer, and basically I'm the tipping guru here in the office. I've written my own version of oz-tips for lack of a better explanation. (read: cleaner, better) Basically due to the same issues you are having now.

Would need somewhere to host it, and spare time for me right now is non-existent, but it's certainly piqued my interest. Too late for this season but perhaps next season's superbike/motogp if there is enough interest I may put my hand up to produce a KSRC tipping site.

I prepared to do it manually for a trial (Excel) and would suggest running it side by side the farkyu one for a couple of rounds to see how I go. I would then forward it to Dave for checking - especially my score

.

All I would need is the points balance atm.

I gave up on this when it changed over what a bloody nightmare. Missed tips due to cut off times wrong, no reminders and cant log in now anyway. OVER IT>
