I discovered/realized that the changes made to the psearch code
will end up requiring some changes in the statproc code as well.
This is always a bit of a hassle, since there are two copies of
statproc code, one for each contest. Instead of making the changes
in both places, I decided to make the changes necessary to allow
the two scripts I changed to work for both contests.
Unfortunately I didn’t realize the RC5 statsrun was still happening.
Net result is that the ranking portion of the RC5 code is now re-
running. Unfortunately, I lost yesterday’s overall email ranking
in the process, so everyone will show up as having moved 0 places
overall in tommorow’s stats. The ranking will be back to normal
tomorrow.
Until I get these changes finished, the participant search function
may stop working for a short time after the rc5 statsrun (it will
only stop working for rc5 folks). CSC *should* be ok.
The good news is that I am working on (and making progress on)
allowing Nugget, Bruce, and myself to have small-scale copies of
the stats database that we can tinker with. This should help
eliminate some of these problems that we’ve been having as of late.
Again, thanks for you patience.
