Old Match Results Offline?

Any idea what's up?

Greg, I got a similar issue when I was trying to pull some old game rules last week. Obviously the archive.org would have them but that's a clunky hack. It isn't just that year or that event but is a widespread problem.


Maybe we will luck out and FIRST will finally provide a nice API for accessing information. (I can dream can't I?)

Fingers crossed

I noticed because we finally have proper tests for our scrapers! I guess that means they're working

Does anyone have a contact on the FIRST web team?

Point of data: I tried to get to that data on Saturday and had no luck.
