Pulling a List of Teams into Excel

You can get the event IDs by looking at the list of all events: https://my.usfirst.org/frc/scoring/index.lasso

I'm guessing there's no referrer check on them because then FMS would have had to add that header in its data download requests.

Didn't FRCLinks previously have a link to these more ugly events? I use them for a lot of my analysis as the data is easier to parse but I always have to search for the links.

I had a link to them for a very brief period of time one year when divisions were posted there but not on the regular team listings, but not apart from that.

Any chance we could get a flag for it? (Sorry to add work)

Also, it turns out some my.usfirst pages not only check for the Referer header, but also a Cookie header.
