Add competitor number to FMC sheet #379

Closed Baiqiang closed 5 years ago

Baiqiang commented 5 years ago

Add a line for competitor to write down his number of the competition. This will improve score-taking in big FMC competition like FMC Asia.

I believe this can be asked apart of the rules. Including a new field on FMC sheet may cause confusion for small comps, where the competitor number in that competition is not important. Also, the regulations says 60 minutes to write a solution and your name. Would the competitor number count as name? Should they be written together?

@campos20 Maybe we can add this as an option and allow competitor to write it down after they submitted the solution sheet.

That numbering if after cubecomps, which is a great tool, but not an oficial tool or related to tnoodle. It doesn't feel right including on tnoodle something that is from an outside tool. I really think we should informally ask the competitors and make sure that number is visible on a list somewhere on the venue. But my biggest competition had like 100 competitors, I can't imagine what you guys go through on a really big comp.

For the record, competitor numbers are now generated by the WCA website, and are exposed via WCIF (see Person.registrantId on https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hnzAZizTH0XyGkSYe-PxFL5xpKVWl_cvSdTzlT_kAs8/edit#, so I don't think we should be opposed to this because it's specific to some outside tool.

OK. I can include that after finishing #377.

Baiqiang commented 5 years ago

make sure that number is visible on a list somewhere on the venue @campos20 I don't know what's your experience. But in China and many other countries, every competitor will get a name card with their name and number on it. So it's pretty easy for competitors to write down their numbers.

campos20 commented 5 years ago

Sorry, I forgot about that. It's a good idea, indeed, easy to code. Since I'm doing this kind of stuff, I'm volunteering to do this.
