can someone explain why i got DNF for pyraminx when i didnt even compete in pyraminx yet i competed in clock and my results for clock aren't on the list?
Yes, I'm almost ashamed to tell, but it is like this:
The result calulating program looks for an event (first in the line) and then five (or three in bld and 1 in Multi / FMC) times in that line.
So if you write
clock: time1, time2, time3, time4, time5
or as you perhaps prefer
clock: 1. (13.82) 2. 13.50 3. (10.72) 4. 13.32 5. 12.46
and then you may add comments and whatever at the end of the line or next line(s) it will work.
But if there is only an event name on a line the program reads more lines and tries to get that as
an entry. Your usename happens to begin with
pyr (and I understand it is not just a random name)
and that is as far as the program reads to decide what event it is. Aha, PYRAMINX! Then the program
reads further lines (to find the five times) and on one it says Clock. But that is not a time so that is
just thrown away. But why you got a DNF and nor 13.09 I'm not sure.
Now you are number one in this weeks clock!
(I'ts not trivial to write a parser for free format results. I think I have seen at least 50 different ways
to enter result in one event. Then you have to take care of quotes and spoilers and worst of all,
new format of the forum posts which has happened twice since I began with this)
@Roman: Of all results to
NOT include, I would rather not have chosen your 4:10 5BLD !!
Anyway, now it is included and your well deserved points for it
