Would be lovely if the upload would also result in an entry accessible for everybody through member.thenaf.net showing
- the winner
- the final standings
- most Touchdowns
- most Casualties
- maybe too difficult: best stunty

Good call - not on the current version of the Member Area, but somewhere definitely.

Didn't realise there was a wiki for it so went to check it out and getting a subscription expired message, probably aware but thought better mention it.
Used software for first time last year and worst part was getting results onto NAF otherwise really easy, mind ours was a simple format

All of the stuff that was written for the wiki (mostly by Mike, with a little inout from others) has been moved to the NAF site.

As long as your data is correct it's really easy.

Agreed. Currently you can see all the single matches, but no summary of standings for a past event. Would be neat.

Also I would like to see the option of uploading results to thenaf.net per round (assuming Internet-connection), so that it is possible to "follow" an event liveish.

I think that would be something that would need implementing on the NAF website, rather than Score itself.

True. Would not necessarily have to run into the same database though, so there would be less legacy junk to deal with for a front end displaying the live results

Yep, that's where this is leading, hopefully.

I didn't take any notes, but I tried using SCORE for a small tournament last summer. We had an odd number of players and it didn't seem to handle the bye's correctly if I recall.

I would like to see it create a true swiss system.

Please ignore if anything wonky was due to user error.

Just add a coach called "Bye" or "Spare" (etc.) and it will generate the draw for you, though if you have a specific player each round that is going to have the bye you might need to change that manually.
