Anyway, I'd thought I'd lay down a few details as to what to expect, and the purpose of the post, as things have changed since I first posted about this waaaaayyyy back.
1) I created this file based on the fact that all of the previous files I had seen were a lot of work to create and maintain. I've heard of some sheets asking to roll a dice, change this details, change that, and it just became tedious to try and run a basic universe. With a bit of luck, you will find this much easier. You click once to schedule the bouts, run them, enter the results and click again to compute the results. Thats it.
2) Having said that, be aware - this is a basic universe. Some creative people have multiple divisions, multiple titles, set tournaments at given times of the year etc etc. Whilst their is virtually nothing I foresee being impossible to incorporate in the future I hope you understand the need to test something simple to begin with. Getting the basics right is fundamental to any future development.
3) This DOES require Office 2007. I am sorry to those that originally asked me this question, but some of the functionality forced me to make this decision.
4) This is a BETA - I am looking to solicite feedback on the look, feel, and most importantly suggestions on changes. You are definetely going to notice imperfections. Please don't write off the entire experiment, let me know and I will work on it.
5) I put a lot of time and effort into writing this, and am passing on to you guys as a big thank you to guys such as Cubedrum who have enhanced the enjoyability of this wonderful product tenfold. I believe the spirit of community here is great, and I hope this goes a little way to showing my appreciation. As this is free, and took a bit of effort, if you intend to use it for online universes, or use chunks of it to create your own sheet, a little note crediting yours truly would be appreciated.
Anyways, thats it, sit tight - I hope to have it online in a couple hours.
