Hey All,
I posted about this last year, but I can't reply to that message since it's been too long.
I'm writing a Windows application called BBQ Score Guru to help keep track of a team's KCBS scores, find trends, etc. It's nearly done now (I took a sabbatical) and I'm looking for Brethren who'd like to beta test.
I've decided to charge for the program, but I'll happily give a free license to any Brethren who'd like to help out with the beta test.
I'm just days away from being ready to start the testing, so if you're interested, please shoot me an email at bretreece@gmail.com and let me know. You'll need a PC with Windows 7 or later (sorry, no Mac version.)
Following are some screenshots of where the program stands right now.
Thanks for looking, and Smoke On!
Main Dialog
Event Detail Dialog
Score Detail Report
Here's where you can start to see where you're doing well and not doing well over time.
Score Average Report
Like the Score Detail Report, but shows averages instead of all scores.
Event Summary Report
I run this report after each competition and email it to my partner. If you have saved turn-in pics in the Event Detail Dialog, you have the option of including them in the report.
Edit Links Dialog
Here, you can edit/change/choose the links that you want to show up on the right side of the Main Dialog under "Web Resources." I'm still figuring out which 12 links will be there by default. The top two will be "The BBQ Brethren" and "KCBS".
Competition Timeline
You can keep your comp timeline in BBQ Score Guru. It comes with an example timeline that you can edit to make your own.
Master Recipes
Likewise, there's a place to keep your master recipes - one for each of the big four categories. Here's the default rib recipe in the editor.
Setup
There's not much to the setup yet. The "Score Report Color Coding" section is pretty cool as it allows you to define what scores you want to show up as green and red in the score reports.
