Get your technical types to have it update automatically. In this day and age it should take them all of about 5 minutes.
Thanks for your post Glenn.
If it was that easy it would have been done by now. Automatic generation of online results will not occur until next year when the application has gone through extensive testing.
In this day and age any data transfer protocols from an online gaming company to a third party partner is anything but a 5 minute job.
In the meantime the process is the following:
1.) We receive daily soft copy tournament reports from 888. These come in one very large excel spreadsheet with 7 days of history of all tournaments included in them.
2.) This report is then broken down by cutting and pasting each individual tournament to it's own spreadsheet and then saved to a shared folder located on our server.
3.) Each spreadsheet is tagged and re coded with the applicable tournament ID for our (888PL) systems.
4.) Each spreadsheet is the uploaded individually to our database by matching 888 tournament ID with 888PL's tournament ID, this involves a lot of manual checking to ensure that we are not uploading the incorrect results to the wrong day or event.
5.) It should be noted that if we wish to browse tournaments in our system the games are listed by dates and not titles, so we have to crawl through over 30 events per date to find the correct tournament.
I am sure you care very little for the above explanation or procedures but I thought everyone should have their ignorance on this matter abolished and perhaps Brett might be cut a little bit of slack on this matter.
The uploading of online results is nowhere near as easy as a regular in venue event, at the moment.
