4 sure - very impressive! And great to see live results from a bodyboarding event.

The scoring system is run off a system known as Beach & Byte which SABA were actually looking at getting in for SA bodyboarding if the Maui & Sons deal had paid off.

It's by no means new and SA surfing even has the system but I'm not sure if they run the live web feature. The guy who developed it is the head of IT for ASP (I think) and developed it specifically for them so it is a tailored system for bodyboard/surf events.

Even if we didn't get this system we could start off with something bordering on live results on sixty40 - we would just need a laptop and an internet connection at the contest and the all important person who could run it. That is in my opinion the reason why you don't have results up from the HB or Cape Classic contests yet. So - if there is someone who is keen on focusing on getting results and rankings out for events, who is good with spreadsheets then step forward because this is the one area which does need someone to take over as the rest of the guys are up to there eyeballs making sure you guys have awesome events.
