Last 10 years I have been involved in a local running competition in my hometown, Paimio, and we've always used a multi-worksheet Excel which has been somewhat useful but a pain in the ass when trying to get the result sheets to a web page and still have them looking nice.
So for this year's competition, I decided to make a completely new, easy-to-use stand-alone Java software which makes it easy to generate HTML files for both printing and also for web pages.
April 28th 2013 is the first time the software is used so further improvements will follow after that.
The software allows user to deal with multiple series with number ranges (like Men 40 yrs would have numbers 101-140 etc) as well as handling exceptions with numbers (number 115 from the previous range would be accidentally given to someone in Ladies 25 yrs serie).
- Create a new competition
- Read series' ranges from files
- a) add competitors one at the time or b) read runners from external file
- Add result per runner by their number
- Generate HTML files
If you have any ideas to improve the code, feel free to fork and make a pull request to contribute. Or you can contact me via Twitter @hamatti.
