| Was wondering if it would be possible to have an update routine that would create leagues, update schedule, post scores...from and excel file? Then it would be easy to create ie...ncaa baskets...without a lot of work manually inputting everything. Would that be possible?? Rick |

| Yes, it is possible to introduce Excel files as a generic source for updating past games and fixtures. A good idea, thanks! Moreover, it is possible in principle to increase the maximum number of teams up to e.g. 1000 that will accomodate NCAA basketball. But the task of OW is not only to maintain games and schedules. It should compute quantities (ratings and odds), and required computing power is of order (number of teams)^2. That imposes known limits unless you are using a supercomputer. |

| Ive got a pretty good computer....would like to give it a try.....But actually think you could pare down ncaa teams to 400.....leaving out many of the smaller leagues. You could then do a cut and paste each day from a web site..for schedules and scores...and it wouldnt take any time at all to update the program.... Rick |
