iCal Calendar for WCA Competitions

[Lucas Garron]

If you have a Mac and use iCal/use any calendar program that handles iCal format, you can subscribe to the following URL and see all the upcoming competitions in your calendar.

http://cube.garron.us/WCA.ics

Just go to: Calendar > Subscribe > Add the URL "http://cube.garron.us/WCA.ics"

I generate the page using Mathematica (parsing data from the WCA site), so all the conversion is manually coded and "published". Tell me if you see any significant errors.

EDIT: Note, you either have to refresh it manually or automatically (I recommend weekly) to get updates. By default, iCal only does a one-time import.

Works for me! Thanks.

EDIT: TOW shows up on Friday, shouldn't it be Saturday?

Shows up as Saturday for me. Could you un-subscribe and re-subscribe and see if it persists?

I had to span two dates to make the event full-day, and I wasn't sure that sounded so safe.

It has not been updated since July 2009 .

It has not been updated since July 2009 .

Right, since I didn't know if anyone was using it, and some of the scripting code broke.

I just ran it, and to my surprise everything still works, so maybe I can find a way to maintain it.

EDIT: In case I didn't make it clear, the calendar has been updated with all future competitions.

In my opinion the iCal calendar is the best way to display WCA competitions. I was kinda sad, when i noticed that it wasn't updated anymore, but i also didn't want to bother you with it. So thanks again .

Love it!

I wonder if you could get CubingUSA to post this calendar on their site.
