I just wonder what Ontario IPSC shooters think of the new match and training courses calendar? Since it is using Google calendar, it should be available on mobile devices.
new IPSC Ontario calendar
- Thread starter euxx
- Start date
Don't like it...
Calendar view takes many clicks to see all the matches in a few months.. Agenda view is not "easy" to read..
the "agenda" view lists each day of an event separately so it looks like different events and takes up more space (eg rather then have 27-29, you have 3 separate lines)
viewing on a mobile device is a lot harder..
if there are more then 4 "Events" (now that they mix BB courses and matches) you can easily miss one in calendar view.
It was better in the old format..

Last time I was on both views were available. If not any longer it should be, that way you can pick which ever view you like.
I get the distinction and the reasons for it. But from the point of view of an IPSC Ontario member who wants to check the schedule and then sign up to participate in a match, what we have now is a bit awkward, especially if there is a discrepancy (often arising from timing of updates) between the two sites. Ah, the brutal hardship of it all, first I have to click on this, then I have to click on that, sometimes I have to wait, or even click again, whine, whine, whine...
Now that that is out of the way: My thanks to PH, omen, euxx and all the other people that organize and arrange matches, scoring, classifications, etc. - it will never be 100% perfect according to any one, but by and large IPSC administration and organization is better than I can remember it (since 1997) and as good or better than any other shooting or other leisure activities that I am familiar with.
