SeeYou for keeping score

CIVL 2018 Plenary Annex 18 Software Officer's Report
Last year we decided that SeeYou would replace FS. Naviter, the company that
makes SeeYou software, first had to adjust GAP formula to the latest one, and
implement it to be fully readable by the new software. Initially it looked as if
everything would be ready by the May 1st, and in the house tests showed only
minor adjustments will have to be done.
Major events for testing were negotiated with organisers of the Slovenian
Open in July, and the live-tracking feed was working perfectly. By the end
of day 2, when no one was in the goal, we found out there was a lot of work that
still had to be done and, at that stage, Joerg Ewald was asked a lot of
questions about different calculations in the FS that were not properly
described in the FS document.
It took almost two months to make sure this was on the right track, and the
pre-event for the Asian games was calculated to make sure that the formula worked
OK. The formula was found to work OK, and only the front end had to be adjusted
accordingly, which took another three months of work.
Only by mid-December has Naviter circulated software to a wider range of testers, who can now try and see if there is still something missing that has to be
corrected. It has been a very long year, but finally there seems to be light
at the end of the tunnel. It will probably take another month or so to be fully
tested and more comparing with FS will be done. Also new GAP for 2018 will have
to be implemented after CIVL plenary for 2018, but we are finally getting there.
Can you read in the pilots' registration from Airtribune in the
format that FS would take it?
FSDB files?
