Weekly Update - Memberships & Ratings

[Bob Gillanders]

Welcome everyone to 2024.
I am hoping to get back to a more predictable weekly update schedule.

To recap for all the new members,
Memberships and ratings are updated to the website on a weekly basis. It used to be done Wednesday evening, occasionally later if problems encountered.
With the rapid rise of memberships, chaos created by COVID shutdown, our new online JustGo membership system, we have strayed from a predictable schedule.

For 2024, we will return to predictable updates, with everyone's cooperation.

Here's the plan.

Tournament reports (rating files & memberships collected) should be sent by 11 pm Wednesday evening.
Rating update will be done by Thursday noon, or sooner.
If you are close to sending reports but missing the 11pm deadline, let me know.

Clubs / TD's - it helps if memberships collected reports are sent in advance of the rating files.

Thanks everyone.

Good morning.

The good news is memberships continue to climb.
At last count - 4,764 paid membership as of January 18, 2024

But it means we continue to struggle to keep up.
I have always prioritized the weekly rating update, but we need to skip this week to catch up on everything else. There will be no rating update this week.

Additionally, a number of errors reported from last week and before, game results reported incorrectly, wrong player ID’s, a lack of necessary new player info. Which means we need to clean up the database before we add more.

We will be back to normal weekly updates next week.

Thank you for your patience.

Good morning everyone.

The rating update today will cover 2 weeks having skipped last week.
OMG, it is a big batch to process.
25 events with 1,404 players.

So my normal target time of noon is not gonna happen.

I am hoping for 8pm this evening.

More coffee please!

This week's rating update will be late again.
Sorry folks. This evening sometime.

[Bob Gillanders]

Rating update done.

[Bob Gillanders]

The weekly update will again be late, hopefully late this evening.
Maybe dragging into Friday morning.

I may have to skip next weeks update to catch up on stuff, but we'll see.

I thank you all for your patience.
