Title: thekongoff.com is up! please proofread and post any errors
Post by: hchien on September 24, 2013, 05:33:02 pm
thekongoff.com site is up!  Please read through and post any errors you find here.  It would be much easier if we compiled a list of errors and just submitted it to them rather than individually submitting errors piecemeal.  Even then, I'm not sure if it'll get corrected.  I seem to remember last year once it was up, there wasn't much changed.

I'll start:

- schedule for Saturday incorrectly contains a "cut and paste" of Friday's schedule

- my bday is 8/4/74

- My 1,138,600 was achieved on 11/5/12

- the top 12 list is wrong (although this was recent so can't blame them)

Oh, can the "new" top 12 people post their bio here as well (in the same format as the website).  Here's a template to make it easier:

Birthdate....................................August 4, 1974
Hometown.................................New York, NY

Occupation.................................Plastic Surgeon
# of Kong Off Starts....................2
Best Kong Off Result...................1st (KO1)

I should point out that the site lists the top 12 *as of 8/29*, which is why Robbie isn't in there. His score was verified the 25th, so with only four days it might have just slipped through.

Anyway, here is how I would rewrite the schedule:


Thursday November 14
12:00 p.m. – 11:59 a.m.  Tron marathon game (24 hrs.)

Friday November 15
11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.    GAME ON! Wild Card Division Live Qualifier tournament

11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.    Top 12 open practice

5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.      Machine selection for Top 12

6:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m.    CONTINUED: Wild Card Division Live Qualifier tournament & Top 12 open practice

Saturday November 16
10:00 a.m.                       Top 12 Competitors Meeting

11:00 a.m.                       Introduction of Top 12 Competitors

11:30 a.m. - 9:30 p.m.    GAME ON! Kong Off 3 - Last quarter at 8:00 p.m. - (Top 12 & the 16 Wild Card Division players)

Sunday November 17
10:30 a.m.                       Wild Card Finalists Meeting

11:00 a.m. - 7:30 p.m.    GAME ON! Kong Off 3 - Last quarter at 6:00 p.m. - (Top 12 & the 8 Wild Card Division finalists)

The schedule has been updated to get rid of the Friday stuff that was copy/pasted onto Saturday.

Cool!

The Top 12 will obviously need more time, since they need info on the new players, but this is good.
