WPBA US Open – Initial Thoughts???
I had this whole plan to get back to writing about the WPBA. I was pumped about their first event in 4 months. So I go to the WPBA website, click on the US Open brackets link and get this:
Don’t get me wrong here. I’m not looking to kick anyone in the junk, I just don’t get how this stuff happens, especially with something like a .pdf. I mean you can create the thing, upload it and link it, so there’s no reason to put up a test page like this. Seriously, how hard is it to take a template that’s already been made, type in the new names and upload it? Clearly whoever is in charge knows how to upload since they put the “test” page on the server.
I’m going to give a step by step walkthrough in the hopes that maybe someone will get an actual bracket up before the AM matches start:
Step 1: Grab the .pdf from the 2009 US Open
Step 2: Open it in Adobe Acrobat
Step 3: Clear out all the text from the 2009 bracket
Step 4: Enter the names of the participants in the 2010 US Open
Step 5: Upload
Step 6: Link
Meh. Whatev. I guess this is what happens when you don’t have anyone in charge of anything. Maybe they can convince Anne Craig to donate some time to help them out (as she’s attending the event).

The brackets are on AZBilliards and looking at it – it’s amateur night at the Apollo!

I know, right! I’m pretty sure you could train a chimp to make a .pdf. I guess with no power comes no responsibility for whichever WPBA board member is slated with managing the website. After I made this post, I found the brackets and posted my initial thoughts.

And why may I ask are you not in attendance young lady? In fact there are a bunch of people not playing. Jeanette has the baby thing, but Tracie Hines, you, Laura Smith, Yu Ram, the new lady who finished 2nd in San Diego, Kyoko Sone, there’s a ton of noshows. Just a sign of the economic times?

You’re kind of a little monkey sometimes. Kyoko and Tracie are both playing. Where you getting that info???????
July 29th, 2010 at 11:31 pm
Oh yeah…and I already addresses the others you mentioned. Which I see that you already saw in the other post. LOL.

Oh wait, does Tracie Majors = Tracie Hines? That would make sense why I couldn’t find her in the brackets.
July 30th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
Yep. That would be her. But what is your excuse for not being able to find Ms. Sone??? LOL

Yeah, I don’t know what happened there. Maybe too much crack in my coffee this morning.
