Dual Powerball Run scoreboard

Tim,

If you have Windows XP then you have Windows Media Player in Accessories. Its a long way off a great video editor, but the file sizes it spits out are quite impressive compared to the video quality.

I've tried it, but can't seem to get very far with using it for video editing. Enda creates Flash videos...can shrink a 20 Mb vid down to only 2 or 3 Mb with hardly any loss of quality, so I leave it to him.

The balls stopped spinning before I could get a photo so submitted my effort with just a vid, thinking It'd be enough, but nothing yet! So arsed about for a while and managed to extract some stills from the vid for the pic! And submitted my score again today!

As I said in the email, I'm glad you extracted the images so that I didn't have to do it!

Whenever I do any runs these days I make sure my highscores are completely cleared, so that if I don't happen to beat my highscore I don't have to video the ball still spinning before it stops and the previous score appears.

I managed 12600 and 12698 the other day, when I was on okay form, (getting just over 13k with either hand individually), but I've misplaced my video camera. I'm worried I left it in the holiday cottage I was staying at last week! :cry:

Cheers Tim, just read email.

New feature request for the dual powerball run scoreboard. Would it be possible to add two more collumns so that the individual scores can be included in the list as well? In this way, we also get some impression of how well balanced the person is in his dual run.

Regards,

The Force
P.S. I hope to take up my dual runs soon. Time to break the 27000 barrier officially (I did it before but not on camera).

You could look at the pic!??
Both individual scores are contained within!
Hard work Isn't it! :P :P :P

Well done Tim on a new "Dual Run" score 25716 (12758+12958 "The Force").
Thought you were having a rest!
Knew me being above you would gee you up! :P
My scores have dropped right off at the mo, so don't expect to be beating it any time soon. Could have something to do with an infection my body seems to be lovingly nurturing!
A weeks course of antibiots and a further weeks rest, then we'll see!

I know, I know, I said I was resting, but when I got home I thought, "Do I really need to rest, or do I just need to train more?!". So I did a 30-minute warmup, (scored 302,500 revs), then hit over 13100 with my left and right. So I tried a dual and got a fairly good score (for me). Did try a 90s, but only managed 17054. Might do the same when I get home this evening.

My rest starts tomorrow!

As for The Force's comment, some people don't take great photos unfortunately. Cazes Jonathan managed a score only just above mine, but he got something like 13900 and 11800...can't quite see it in the pictures. What I was thinking I might do is put a comment underneath each name, which appears when you hover the mouse over it, showing the left and right scores. What do you think?

Move your mouse over my and Cazes Jonathan's scores for an example of what I'm thinking.

I think it could be done that way, but don't forget that the monthly winner is also highlighted when moving the pointer above a name.

And that brings me to another issue. Why aren't the monthly winners of the dual run highlighted?

This might also be a problem in other leagues I think.

As far as I am aware of Akis won April (and May?)

Best regards,

The Force
P.S. Good score, your latest dual run,..Tim.
