KCBS Judges - Application Beta Testers Wanted

[gw1500se]

As a judge (particularly when I first started) I find it difficult to browse the KBCS events web pages, determine which ones are sufficiently close and then go to their websites to submit an application. In addition, if I am traveling, I like to see if there are any nearby events I might want to judge. Cook teams may also find this useful.

To solve this problem I developed a Java application that takes a "home" location, a maximum driving time or maximum driving distance from that location. The application then finds all KCBS scheduled competitions that meet the specified criteria and lists them with their estimated driving time and distance. It also includes the link to that competition's web site simplifying finding their application forms. I have included the capability of tracking events to which the user has applied and for which events the user has been confirmed.

I found my application sufficiently useful that I've decided to make it available to all KCBS members. However, before making it generally available, I am requesting a few beta testers. All that is necessary is that you use the application and provide feedback on any problems encountered and particularly any additional features/changes to improve it.

If you are interested, please PM me for download information. Thanks.
