No biggie, but ARBBL is missing (another Itchen win).

ARBBL came after Boudica, so you would expect that they are both missing as yet. More concerning is that Weaglebowl only has the winner, I've asked if they can upload the final standings.

One of the biggest challenges the new GG organiser faces is getting full results from every event. For some reason some TOs don't just don't publish.

Ah, that makes sense.

Yeah, never understood that - if you expect people to give you money the very least you could do is show people how they got on. :roll:
Trying to get my (and my club-mates) results from another local event (no longer running) was part of the reason I started to run my own.

I'll be taking a look at the data once I have my hands on it.

Looking forward to the next GG I want to gather some feedback.
What do you feel works?
What do you feel needs changing?

I like the scoring changss this time around, so would give them a second go. I think the biggest issue is keeping interest and for this you need regular updates and the associated conversation. I understand the time issues and different scale, so not complaining, but for example, lunchmoney keeps the SWTC bang up to date and this keeps the attention.

edited for my usual typo's etc.

Have emailed you the spreadsheet I work from, Gareth. There is a trophy too of course. I will ask someone to bring it to NAFC in May for handover to the winner for 2017/18.

Is it only full BB tourneys that count? With the rise of 7's are they going to be added?

+1 to what Besters said i.e. regular updates keep people interested

I'm sure it is a lot of work keeping this up to date on a spreadsheet (huge thanks to Pipey for this and now to 20Phoenix for taking it on) so probably best to restrict it to full Blood Bowl rather than including variants?

Given that the GG relates to performance of NAF members at NAF approved tourneys, I assume all of the necessary data is being captured in the NAF database. If so, it should be possible for code to be written to update a GG table automatically?

A list of where everyone finished is the same at any event, full BB, 7's, Beach, whatever.

Fairly sure those didn't qualify for a NAF trophy so weren't included.

Is there a case for a title stickied thread in upcoming tournaments Britain recommending TOs provide certain key information after their event to assist people administrating tournament series e.g. SWTC, GGUK, Scottish Championships etc. Thinking placings, prize winners etc.

Good point. I missed that being NAF was not enough in it self
