This set of pages serves as a queue of summaries of recent collegiate and high school results which appear in the "Recent tournament results" section of the Main Page. These pages are also used to help facilitate and coordinate updates to this queue.
It is unlikely that there will be room to highlight every tournament that happens in particularly weeks - at minimum, tournaments will likely need to be organized into mirrors. As tournaments occur in weekly cycles, updates should ideally happen once a week. Each set of results spans a week from a given Saturday to the following Friday, representing the time in which those results are the most recent. The majority of tournaments are held on weekends, with the majority of those taking place on Saturdays.
Tournament pages should ideally be updated with results at the same time that these pages are updated, to avoid redoubling effort. Tournaments which run on IS-sets can have their results pasted into the corresponding section of the List of NAQT Invitational Series by year.
- This is something that could be automated fairly easily - by currently existing style conventions every result either has the set mirrored as the tournament name or in parentheses after the host, meaning that it should be straightforward for a process to determine where a set of results belongs. This standard could be reified using a series of templates to ensure that it would always be machine-readable and then users could simply update these pages once a week as appropriate.
Each set of tournament results should be given its own subpage corresponding to its week - this week's results can be found here, while last weeks can be found here. The archive is yet to come.
