Result Statuses for less formal events #18

Open captainrobbo opened 7 years ago

Reviewing the Statuses....these describe well what happens at international competition, but perhaps need more at an informal level.

There is a period long before START_LIST, maybe "PLANNING", or "TAKING_ENTRIES", when you know that an event is happening, but you don't know which people are in that unit.

There are also cases where you think that results are official, but an error is reported after they are published - maybe a missing or mis-identified person - and corrected. I therefore strongly suggest a revision number which could be incremented if there is a correction, or a last_updated field, and maybe some status note to explain any corrections underway.

e.g. (real example) Q. "Athlete 833 in position 37 was NOT me" A. "Ok, we'll need to check the video, and also email team 5xx and see if it could have been a 533. Give me 24 hours..."

"Under protest" is not exactly the right description for this.
