Re: 2014 Alliance Selection Results

Okay, I don't know why somebody would want to do that. Most of the data were deleted today. I found at least one team number that got changed to a wrong number. It is okay for me since I already copied the data out last night.

Joe Ross and I also found two typos in these lists of teams. It has been corrected. It did not affect my database because my program searched through the elimination results to try to figure out on its own what the selection order is. It only relies on this Google spreadsheet data if needed. In both typo errors, my program recognized the error and ignored it.

I really appreciate everybody who helped put these data in. Please do not try to type this in manually. It is very easy to make a mistake. Assuming the list on this CD post is correct since if it is not, a lot of people will point it out. The better way to do it is copy the text on the CD post, paste it into Notepad. Then select all and copy. Then go to a new Excel sheet and paste using Text Import Wizard. Depending on if the person use "," or "-" or space, select the Delimiters that were used, then all the teams will be in the spreadsheet. Then copy the team numbers and paste it into the converter in the Google spreadsheet. This way it will minimize the typo.

Thanks everybody!
