Due to the number of requests I get from people asking me to add their competition to the Event Database, I've decided to create a thread here explaining exactly what I need from people in order to do it.

Here are some examples of the information I need and the format in which I prefer to receive it. Please post your schedules in this thread and do not send them to me via PM.

Please take note of the indentation used in these schedules - the indentations in your schedule should be exactly like this.

A competition which has more than one season:

A competition which is in its first season and for which the first event is split over multiple days:

An individual event:

I think that the 'Pretend Cup' example covers every possibility, though I'm sure the IGTC example covers the needs of most people.

The dates and times should ideally be given in UTC (GMT) time. If you aren't certain about UTC time then give the times in your preferred timezone and tell me which timezone you've used.

To use the vBulletin code facility enclose your schedule within [code] ... [/code] tags.

Please Read

Before I add any new submissions contributors will be required to send me a PM confirming that they understand that they must upload all of the replays from their competition to our site. LFS > Options > Multiplayer replay save should be set to [auto save - not recommended] - otherwise you will forget to save qualifying replays, it always happens, and such a failure will result in your competition being removed from our site.

Hi!
I have little problem with spdo. So can you somehow fix it (put K.Räikkönen 1 races to K.Räikkönen 1)
+ Please fix also K.Räikkönen 1 and my team (rFORCE) userbar, these doesn't add my races to userbar.

Thanks!

/// I know this is wrong place to this, but your PM's are full so i can't send this to there.

spdo website only show atm basics letters. No ¨, no ^, no é,...Josh have already explained why a bit earlier in this thread.

What do you mean about you userbar? It do not update after a race?

Yup, dont update K.Räikkönen 1's userbar.

But can he somehow put K.Räikkönen 1 races to K.Räikkönen 1?

I think I've just understood when I looked your sign. In fact spdo DB was affected by a big change on spdo website (follow that link : http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1667714#post1667714)

After that Josh managed to restore spdo website but as I told you it has now no "ö" available so that why it created a kind of second account.

About it is not updated this is because I think that Josh need to confirm results after checking everything is alright in the league/event. So basically that will be updated when Josh would confirm it. Note that here I am only doing supposition, I'm not 100% sure about this.

Anyway this is an automatic system so I think we can do nothing (maybe Josh but as you have seen he is overbooked atm) for this ''twin" account.

If your schedule has been moved from here to the archive thread, then it has probably been processed and your events added to spdoRacing.com.

Please PM me if you require instructions on how to submit replays to the site.

Quote from Rubén M. (MEX) :

some instruction to update our event inside "spdo web"?

I think we have to PM Josh, I did but no response yet. I have four replays ready for uploading.

I can forward you guys the message if you like since he is not responsive.

Please do! that would be awesome. Thanks!

Sorry, guys, I don't have a computer at the moment. You should all have the instructions now.

I'll start submitting historical stuff going back in time. This was our last champ last year.

Timezone: UTC-6

Editing an existing event (TRI-GT1).

By consensus of the participants we have modified the dates for rounds 3 through 8, in the same way the event is open to all cars GTR.

Apologies for these changes could be made in the database of events?

Rubén M. (MEX), I think the spacing in front of each line also matters, so have a look at other posts and try to fix it

Hi Josh,

additional infos for the CityLiga15:

- correction of my mistake regarding Round 3 (2012 instead of 2011):

- Round 4 details as the result of the vote:

If required, the full data:

Thanks for you efforts,
Jogy

Quote from deCesaris :

Hi Josh,

*snip the code* Rounds 2, 3 and 4 will be updated after voting.

Thank you!

Check the OP for formatting rules and look at some of the other posts...the spacing is critical to note also.

I also believe Josh does not put test events into the database, only actual events.

I think Josh would wait round 2, 3 & 4 to be announced before adding this league aswell.

Josh,

Here is the list for OWRL's next S2 Season. Can you add this one?


Timezone: CET

I hope I did everything I was supposed to do right Here the schedule of the next NDR Events.

Oh, sorry about that. I didn't know that test event's cannot be added there.(Sometimes there has been?)

That spacing, yeah. Well, I don't make you suffer for my explanations. I make a new one then.

This "problem" has been solved by uploading and assigning the replays
(If you weren't working on it in the meantime)

Please appreciate that deleted from the database the dates mentioned in the code, the championship has been suspended to date 5, since the league was launched simultaneously with another championship cars easier to drive, and given this situation, TRI-GT1 championship has decreased the number of competitors.

Thank you very much for the care provided.

Greetings dear friends.

All replays saved and ready to be uploaded

Did you run qualifying sessions?

Everyone else: Your competitions/events have been added. Thank you for your patience.

No, we did not do traditional qualifying sessions. We determined the grids based on Airio times.

Here's our next championship for 2012. Qualifying will be based on Airio (lapper) times.
