OK the site is back up, with a new layout:
gpsteamchallenge.com.au/index.php

Since there have been a huge number of "under the hood" changes, it's possible that the site might misbehave a bit. So please check it out and let me know if you think anything is acting a bit strangely.

Also, improvements are always welcome!

*phew* I've never spent a new years eve like that before...

Site's great Nebs, hope you're enjoying that beer!
On second thoughts if hardy was there he probably would offer you some of his bourbon, so I hereby give you permission to help yourself.

So with the new year, is the Alpha fin prize going to be awarded to sailquick?
Bad luck snides you weren't far behind.

Sorry Decrep, but I keep looking at that avatar and thinking "Leonardo da Crep"

Cheers Snides. It was a ripper. One of those rare occasions when everything just goes right!

Mals dedicated Alpha fins are still in the computer AFAIK. I have been using the TM speed 26 which is his symmetrical speed fin for moderate winds. Not the sort of rake like you need though for that weed stuff. ;-)

It would be very interesting to try one of these fins with the extreme rake you guys need but since the bases and fins are moulded in one piece with fixed rake (12 deg I think) it's a bit tricky to try.

Nebs, couple of minor suggestions....

- the number formatting in tables probably needs right-alignment and/or decimal-rounding (or somthing...)
- for those of us that cant see the small font sizes, we set the browser to use a larger font size; any chance for using non-fixed width layouts so that the larger text fits correctly?
- what about ranking the stats within the team, for that session?

Hi Nebs I know ya a busy man but is it possible to have an overall state ranking page for each state. That would be nice.

Thanks for the suggestions, they've all been put on the "to do" list.

Ranking the stats within a team is a good idea, then you would have individuals fighting it out to be "Best on the day" within the one team... I can imagine some of the more competitive people loving this one!

The Cremaster Team have finally agreed that we are "in" and Cam should be on the water in a matter of days. I tried to fax the Reg form to your office Hardie but got a human recorded voice instead of fax gibberish. Will try again during bus hours.
