I was counter-joking about your joking. Most of those names I got from the Waterloo 2014 thread.

Also, the new data is all out there for the regionals now. Thanks for the help with troubleshooting. I am open to new features if there are any more requests.

Very fun to see this data for each team. Must have been a lot of work.

Two banners are missing for 341. We won Philly Chairman's in 2003 and Chesapeake Chairman's in 2005, for a total of 20 banners.

Thanks!

The 2005 FMS had issues and many results are missing.

Not the fault of the site maker...

Thanks, it was quite the project.

After manually entering the data for that 2005 Florida Regional alliance, it seems like it will be quite another to keep manually entering data, however I will take note of yours and Libby's requests and when I find a more feasible method to do manual input, your data will be entered.

If you mean a teams rankings section by banners, then yes it will happen. For now, there is a way to access an all teams ranking:

1. Go to the Manual Calculator
2. Type in 1 and press Tab
3. Type 9999 and press Tab

Of course there will be a more visible version eventually.

Being able to see the full banner count list is cool, where as TBA Insights only shows the top of the ladder (without the ability to expand to the full data set). I look forward to the future additions you have in mind. Thanks for sharing!

BBQ FIRST was down for a couple of days recently due to an error with my account. It's resolved now, but I had to create a new url for the website.

Here is the updated link: http://bbqfrc.x10host.com/

There have been a few updates, since I last posted. Check those out and as always, suggestions are welcomed!

So far the database seems to have been staying up to date, but it is currently behind on some of this week's cooking.

How does the updating process work?

According to the help section on the website, here's how it works:

During these data uploads the website may be down for 10 minutes, but these uploads ensure that information is displayed faster than recalculating every time a page is requested.

Then the real question is, how often?

[Beaker]

Every week by Tuesday I have the data up to date

Same here. In that spirit, for the VA regional the answer, is Buzz & Ned's, less than 2 miles from VCU.

For all of your championship divisional BBQ desires...

Of course. I was going to wait for chairman's data to be posted on TBA, but that doesn't look like it is happening anytime soon. It will be up tonight

Other than 597 winning HOF, what else are you still needing?
