Brawl #2 - Standings

[Chapuz]

I will never understand why these standings aren't done in a spreadsheet. I mean spreadsheets are meant to be used for this kind of things.

That requires an admin to link the spreadsheet to the topic (we can't do it as BMs even is this section). We will do it with more time for next Brawl.

It could have been made in gdocs and you guys could just leave the link in the thread.

[Naesala]

I've been doing it in a gdocs spreadsheet the whole time. I just don't know how to go about showing it to people without allowing them to edit and stuff.

What andre said, also you can just copy all the data and format it in forum tables. The point is that at least you don't get so many problem in the calculations.

EDIT:

Then I have no idea why you seems to be struggling with the calculation. Aren't you using the build-in SUM() function? Also there is a simple publish function: try "File -> Publish to the web..."

I actually ask naesala to find a volunteer to post the total points in a post and let other team check, and send a pm about it, since he had a busy time currently. then he can just copy the total points as long as he key in the correct points in the first place.

turns out anarook went ahead and do it for him straightaway. I guess everyone must be holding a calculator nearby XD

As stated, having a rough week. I've already said all the math will be double and triple checked before the end, if people could just be a little more patient with me.

It's k.

Wonderful... There goes the Card Designing part of me. Now what will I do?

The Share function on GDoc allows you to set it to "Anyone who has the link can VIEW the document."  This is opposed to "[...] can EDIT the document."

We could have linked the URL of the spreadsheet, but not the spreadsheet itself like it's done in War. That requires an admin privilege we don't have. We will see if we do it for Brawl #3.

[Fippe94]

Well can't you just link it, and then tell admins to set it up?

Sorry, i was aware of that: How can I allow Most to view, not edit, but allow some (Chapuz) to edit?

In the first window that shows up when you click "Share", there is a textbox at the bottom where you can enter other people who can edit the document. Then, to make it so that people can view it, use the "Publish to the web..." option in the File menu and click the "Start publishing" button. The bottom half of the window gives you the link to the published version of the document, and you can choose which sheet to get the link for.
