[Toad-devel] File format for tournament information

[Garner, Robin]

Hi,

 

I have defined a file format for exchanging tournament data - it is being implemented for my system that does the Australian Tournament Rankings, to replace the ad-hoc formats I read at the moment.

 

The attached file TournRec.lhs is a Haskell parser for the tournament file (proof of existence for a parser :), and the file format is specified in comments at the start of the program.  It's early enough days that the format can be modified without much trouble.

 

Some examples of the format this file reads are as follows:

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tournament version 1.0
title "Example tournament for testing the parser"
venue "Cafe Cactus inside"
