Some New Reports…

As you probably know, I currently up to my eyes in trying to implement and test the required changes for the move to R5 (as a Rating System.)

There is still a vast amount of work to do but I think that I'm getting there.

As promised, I'll keep you all updated (and, for you system punters, R4 will still be available even once we've moved to R5 as out standard ratings.)

As part of this process I am generating vast amounts of new data (which I shall share with you once we move to R5.)

However, this morning I received an email from someone who probably would rather remain nameless (thanks, Guy!) who was asking about the Results by Race Course spreadsheet that I produced a while ago.

I immediately thought... "Oh, b*gger it! I really ought to update that spreadsheet!"

But then I realised that I could spend the rest of my life updating those sort of things so I decided to see if I could automate the process (after all, the system now automatically updates many new tables to provide me with the required information that I need for R5), so I've spent the day doing just that.

As a result, you may notice on the sidebar that there are now 4 new tools (in the Tools section) for you to use.

For detailed information you might want to look at the Tools Page?

New Tools...

Basically, we now have the following new tools...

All of these new reports are updated automatically and contain results from Focus Ratings from the 7th of January 2013 up to yesterday's results.

You may notice some strange things about some of the reports?

For example, there are some National Hunt races shown at All Weather courses. These, I believe, were races that were run on All Weather courses because the original courses were frozen or waterlogged during January and February of this year.

I've got a whole load of other (and similar, automatically updated) reports to add - if you've got any ideas of what you want, just let me know.

The Bet Engine - new export file

As a final note; I (and one hard working Focus Ratings member - thanks Gerald) am/are currently testing a new (and additional) format TBE export file that allows TBE users to take into account non-runners.

I'll update you all when that has passed it's testing period.

My kindest regards
