Compmgnr

Compmngr is a computer program for managing ballroom dance competitions; much like this one. You may be interested in migrating from Compmngr to this tool; or there may be some features that you want to use from Compmngr, and others you want to use from this one.

Compmngr has the ability to export heats in a variety of formats. I’ve written a script that can be used to import people, dances, and entries from exports in xlsx and txt formats.

These scripts were written without the benefit of any documentation, but they have been used successfully in a single event. Undoubtedly this script will need to be modified when the next event’s export is processed. Over time, it will become more resilient.

But for now, the process is to email me the export and have me run the script for you. Once I’m confident that it will handle most cases there will be an option (probably on the Advanced settings page) for you to run this yourself.

I’ve never run Compmngr myself and I’m not likely to. I’m looking for somebody who has used this program to write down the instructions on how to find the right export function so that I can include that on the page containing the input form.
