A huge thanks to you for putting that together. I've been paying attention to it for the last two months and it's absolutely great.

How soon are the weekend results posted? I notice the results from Sunday's Telluride BBQ Festival aren't there yet.

Fantastic job Heath this site is great it looks and works great too.

DIG the site. Great stuff.

Que by the Sea is no up either. Sunday turn-in events in the past took a while to show up as well. Looks like Saturday events are usually available same day.

Good job Heath. My girls also want to know when you will be on Shark Tank again. They want to see you up against Mark Cuban....

Thanks! Excellent site for keeping tabs on your or your favorite teams!:thumb:

Are you guys going to come up with a widget for websites?

Thoughts go out to Brian and his family. Sorry for his loss.

Heath how do you get contests not yours out of the database? Combine where a team is spelled 3 to 4 different ways?

To add to Stan's question, what is the process to combine multiple listings that are the same team?

Example:
Boondoggle
Boondoggle BBQ

Hi Heath. What a great reference to see how the teams are doing. I tried to merge two teams and got an integrety error. Just FYI

Keep up the hard work.

:clap2:Fantastic site Heath. I know you have the weekly results and you can see how you did that week against everyone else, but can you go back to a set date and see how you did against everyone then or does it only apply to the past week. The reason I ask is that we are included on the rankings because we have competed in 3 U.S. comps this year, even though we are U.K. based but it would be nice to see how we compared with the rest of the U.S. in the particular weeks that we competed. Thanks again for a great site.

I told them about the exception their merge request form was throwing weeks ago. Also requested a merge via email at the same time and was told it would be done right away, but we're still listed under four different spellings. Confirmed with KCBS they have our scores tracked correctly under the same team number so it has to do with how this site is collecting their data.

Nice concept, but I think this resorce is more accurately described as being a beta release. Could be useful when the bugs are worked out.

tried to merge our team also,got error,,windsor mo ,end of aug missing from ours nice site,great job:thumb:

I'm a statistics nerd. In case you guys ever get bored and want something to do/work on, add an option to see averages. Such as avg score (overall, individual categories) and avg place.

82's, I already requested that. I had a merge problem with the form originally like many others here. I sent an email to admin@bbqrace.com. Brian responded and processed my request the same day. I think he needs to rerun the rankings everytime there is a merge so he may be queueing up a bunch since it seems more requests are coming in.

Here were my suggestions. He responded and said many of them including the registration feature were in the works for a future release but right now he is just working on data quality.

1) average score for each cetegory on the breakdown page.
2) year over year comparison (I can see my TOY points for this year but I can't see it for prior years). Looks like the data is already there for 2011 since I can see the comps under event history. This would just be another 'view' on that data.
3) a comparison feature (caompare your scores to 1,2,3, teams, etc)? This is just fluff but trying to think of ways to make the site even more interesting. I know there are a few teams that we regularly compete against and you always want to see how you stack up against them.
4) It would be great if you could 'register' on the site much like you do for a message board. Then you can be automatically logged in and see your team's page immediately upon entering the site
