Well, it's 7:15, and now they are. Please remember in your considering the promptness of web score posting that some of us had to return to Cooper Black to clean up this morning before heading home, and may not have arrived at our regular computers as quickly as you might have. I'm sure a good number of folks are still on the road...
Thank you for appreciating our ambitious plan. As you can see from Daphne's post above, this sort of thing has some very technical challenges to make it work.
In addition, my duties stewarding, scoring, working check-in control at Cooper Black, registration, conducting the novice seminar, and trying to help spectators at the event have to take precedent over debugging tricky live update systems. The simple fact that between 6:00 am and 8
m I only had time to eat a couple handfuls of nuts and a snack bar can attest to how busy things were.
And that seemed to go very well, actually. I heard from many cometitors that the rally went (from their persective) very smoothly with very little delays, and ran on time. So we're all very happy about that. We also got boatloads of workers to come, and the rally actually spotted 14 hotel rooms for 2 days to cover them all. We had people from Texas come to work the rally!
As always, we appreciate these volunteers very much, without their help the rally doesn't even get to stage one! I'm hoping to get a list soon that I can post...
Cheers all, thanks for coming down to South Carolina to rally!!!!
