Jasper, you mentioned you were making a spreadsheet a number of posts back, I assumed that mean an excel document, I guess it was word. As a question on the road to a solution, do you have excel?

Well, while you can technically upload an excel document, not everyone will be able to view it. Working in favor of excel though is that they can be pasted into a table that the tvch software understands. Here are the instructions as provided by the help document here. I've done it in the past, and it does work. ---------- Pasting Tables You can paste in tables from tab-delimited spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel. To paste a table, do the following: Open your spreadsheet using Excel. Select the range that you wish to paste as a table using Excel. Choose Edit and then Copy. Bring up your WWW browser. Enter an "empty" table tag (such as \table{ } or \tablenb{ }) in your message. Do not put in any Table Items at this time. Click the mouse between the curly braces in that tag. Select Edit and then Paste. --------- If you'd like to try a practice run, there is a testing thread for just that sort of thing Here Let me know if this makes any sense to you.

Hi Everyone, I hope I can still join in. I couldn't resist joining in when I saw this post. This will make watching Canadian Idol that much more fun! I know this is last minute but I have just been waiting for my registration confirmation. If you will still accept my picks here they are: Joshua 6 pts (The teen girls are going to go crazy for him, but personally I thought he would be better then he was last night) Annie 3pts (I was a total fan of hers before last night but again she wasn't that great last night. Her nerves got the best of her. But she will definitely have the Quebec vote behind her) Jessica 2pts Raj 2 pts Brandy 2pts (Although she was very good last night. I really expected her to blow me out of the water from what we saw of her in the top 100.) Bonus 1. C Bonus 2. Yes

Not a problem, I have enjoyed it, just not getting to much done today, but the boss is away. Was I scoring this as well? If so that's fine, I'll just create another excel sheet, or was someone else? If there was a volunteer for that let me know, otherwise I'll put the scores up tomorrow.

Well, if I remember correctly, there was going to be three of us in on this, you making Q's, Llkoolaid collecting results, and me posting the charts. Correct me if I got any of that wrong of course. We never covered scoring. So, what has happened so far, is you made the questions, you collected the results, and you posted the chart. About the only thing you've not done yet, is get up on stage to sing us a song. Hehehe. I'm still up for doing what I said I'd do, I could try to work out the results as well, but I want to give Llkoolaid a chance to pipe in as well.

Seems to me that you don't need me to collect results now, they are all right here. If you want I can gather them in one post. Cross, Charts are impossible for me so if you can do that it would be great. How about Jasper, you just tell me when you need help and I will do it, other than that, I think you are doing a great job. I'll keep track of any new people that want to join our game and fill in if anyone of you is going to be away. Also, I would be happy to help think up new questions each week if Jasper feels the need. One suggestion that I might add is that in Puttergirls game she gave people up until the start of the show, Atlantic time, which is the earliest it starts, to post because it was hard for some people to get to a computer or get home from work in time. Doesn't matter to me cause I am on east coast and a stay at home mom so I can always get here in time but others may have a hard time. Totally up to you Jasper and Crossfire, you guys are doing the charts.

What do we mean when we say 4:00 PM? Being in Ontario, the times shown on the board for messages posted (including any I post) are always 3 hours earlier than my local time? So do you mean the time shown on the board, Eastern Daylight Savings time or what? I always find these time zone issues confusing. Of course, the solution would be to get my picks in early, but I run all my picks through an intense analytical process that takes hours of computing time.

Ok, thanks for your comments Ll. I can do the results, that shouldn't be a problem. I'll get started right away on a program to calculate the scores, and generate the code for the results table then. (I'm lazy, I'm not going to do it all by hand. )

So it appears I have overstepped my bounds then! Sorry about that, I thought it would be good to have a chart showing everyone's picks prior to the results show, and then one after the show showing the results/scores (like putters). LLK I will defintely take you up on ques. assistance so I don't get monotonous. Ok up to the start of the show Atlantic time, which is how many hours behind Ontario time?, I like Jimmer am asea with time difs. It is currently 3:00 Ontario time. Cross do you want to do the scoring and the chart for that showing the results and standings? (I feel like I've hijacked everyone's duties, you have created a monster showing me in short bus terms how to post charts)
