new IPSC Ontario calendar

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.
 
Appretiate the comments. There is no old format for 2011. If general opinion that it's better tnen google calendar, we'll have to create it, though it is painfull to maintain.
 
If a match is planned, why not just post it to the match signup, in "closed" staus? That's how I know what's coming up... Regional/National/Worlds would be known far enough out to be in the Sitrep.
 
The match sign up website is not an IPSC Ontario website. We maintain a calendar for our members.

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... :rolleyes:

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.

Tell me about it. There is 3 or 4 separate systems you have to switch back and forth to. In addition the match stats crew have to enter all the names again manually. It all should be in one system and one day it will be...
 
When I look at it, the calendar heading is in French???
