My gut feeling is that CSV is probably the easiest way to go with a week left before the Championships - it's the route I was thinking of hammering out this evening if needed. It's quick to layout and has the benefit of being readable in Excel if necessary. Plus, it's easy enough to write code to either ignore extra data or add in 'missing' data to make it valid during the import/export process.

As for (b), the programmers can speak for themselves. Worst case scenario, I've got the half-designed web app.

I had actually sent a PM to the maintainer of Sundial to see if there was a possibility for some kind of basic 'feed' (for lack of a better word) to retrieve schedule information for import, but didn't get a response so I'd imagine that's not going to be viable for the moment. The only question for using a web app for data exchange is the question of networking.

I'm open to suggestions on the 'how' of getting the data passed around, though I'm more busying myself with format questions at the moment.
