I'm new here and sorry if I'm missing something, but is there an easier way to upload information (such as games) than using the web browser? I have some game information in spreadsheets that, if I knew the syntax, could form to be uploaded to the site much more quickly.

Hi Cody,

Yes indeed there is, all I need is a spreadheet (CSV best) with the following columns intAwayScore and I should be able to import anything

Just make sure the team names are an exact match for what we have on our site and the date is in YYYY-MM-DD format to make it easier for me to import.

other optional fields could be event UTC time, Event Local Time, TV Station etc.

I'm happy to import, if people put in the data work beforehand.

Here is a zip with info for all teams and events for American Football AAF. I don't believe the strings actually have quotes around them. Also, since this league is both defunct and has no information truly added in, could the primary league name be changed to "AAF", similar to "NFL"? This will make the file name much shorter, with the full "Alliance of American Football" as the alternate league name.

Let me know if there is anything that would be better for submitting these, as well as packaging up images to be added (that's the next project)
