Mail-in manager app, will need testers soon

It's amazing what you can get done in 2-hour chunks while trying to get a wailing baby back to sleep...the next feature for Redline Derby is nearing completion and I'll be needing a small group of people willing to help beta test it.

This new web app is the previously mentioned tool for helping people manage mail-in tournaments. I'm looking for a couple of people that have organized mail-in races in the past but also anyone that is interested in hosting tournaments but hasn't yet. I'm hoping this app will make things easier for experienced hosts but also make it easy for newbies to get involved with custom racing.

This test period is still a few weeks out maybe but I need get my test scripts in order so I need to know how many testers I'll have.

Please post if you're interested. I probably only need 4 or 5 people to get some initial feedback and bug reports.

Thanks.

Sounds good Brian. Are we talking a series or a single race?
I'm up for hosting a single race if that'll help (think ultra-featherweight - <30g. Hey racers, don't ask for details yet. Wait for the app!).

I'll help, though I haven't done any mail-in racing on my track yet.

For testing you won't have to do any actual racing, so there's no worries there. It will all be fake data so I can control and monitor what goes on so I know if it's behaving correctly. Should be pretty painless...I'll PM you when things are ready. Thanks!

I'll be able to help out after this week.

I can help with anything you need.
