Scoreboard update, request for Strava team club URLs

[hozn]

Hi folks,

Now that teams have been assigned, I need someone (presumably the team captain) to create a Strava club for the team and post the URL to the club to this thread. Then invite the other members of your team to join (or just instruct them to follow the URL that you post to this thread and request to join, if you don’t already know their Strava names). Once we have that information, we can update the scoreboard to start tracking real team metrics!

Guidelines:
– Please include “2015” in the team name. Putting the Team number toward the beginning of the team is also a good idea, as some of the charts may cut off long names
– E.g. a name like “Team 1: Crazy Monkeys BAFS2015” would work well on the leaderboard. The creator/admins of the team can also adjust the team name later; this will get picked up (but maybe only later that day/night) by the scoreboard.
– You can set a short name for your team (for the URL). Ultimately we need the ID, but I can figure that out if you just post a URL. (E.g. the BikeArlington club URL is http://www.strava.com/clubs/bikearlington)

A few other notes about the leaderboard:
– You may have noticed that there’s some photo syncing happening. Just on the homepage right now, but we’re pulling in all theStrava-linked photos (from Instagram). Photos will not (cannot) be synced from private rides. Also photos do not sync quite as often as rides, so you may see your ride show up before your photos. Be patient.
– Speaking of private rides, there has been some question about this. Yes, once you authorize the scoreboard, the application can see your private rides, but we cannot fetch any segments or photos for those rides. I think we have some limited geographic data available for private rides (not full routes) and we will do our best to protect the privacy while still counting these toward your totals.
– And speaking of privacy, some of you may have noticed the “Login” button the website. The login is effecitvely the same thing as authorizing the application through Strava. This way we don’t need to track any usernames/passwords for this website. So to login you have to have authorized the application to read your data (presumably all of you have) *and* be a member of one of the teams. Right now login doesn’t do anything, but the plan is to expose more data about the competition to those that are actually part of it — things we would otherwise keep private, like full Strava names actual ride names etc. (Again, with intention of protecting privacy for rides marked “private” in Strava.)

I think that is all. Please post the team URLs. I will be removing the BikeArlington club from the scoreboard, so if you haven’t joined your competition Strava club and provided that link here, you will likely drop off the leaderboard until you do so.

Ride on! And take photos!

Ok! I think that’s everyone, assuming we have 13 teams. I will give everyone through the weekend to join their team Strava clubs after which point I will clear out any accounts that are not associated with any of the configured clubs. (This just means these people will have to reauthorize the application).

Does anyone know why I got dropped from my team, the Maryland Inquisition? Thanks much!

Probably PM your team captain. I assume you mean from the Strava team?

Hi Sarah! I don’t think you got dropped– there might have been a glitch in the system. Brünø Moore is the captain of the Maryland Inquisition– if you’re having problems joining the team, I’d message him and let him know. Looking forward to having you on our team!

FYI, I removed all athletes from my database that were not assigned to one of the configured strava team clubs. This undoubtedly removed some of the contestants from the system; they’ll just have to reauthorize the application. So the stats on the homepage will be a little lower.

You should be good now. I think you may have gotten dropped when I changed the group settings–but it’s fixed!

The photo syncing sounds brilliant. Thanks for developing that feature, and kudos to whoever had that idea.

Agreed! I do wish it would sync more than just the one day’s photos, especially when there is only, say, 1 photo of the day so far. Maybe most recent 30-50 could be cached or whatever.

We store (and cache) all photos during competition. I just wanted to limit what was on the homepage. Maybe making another dedicated photo page or we could go back further on home screen…

Firstly: Thanks very much for all your hard work in making this come together. I love the layout of the summary website.

Secondly: I only signed up for my team this AM (Monday Jan 12th) due to being away for the weekend and it’s this afternoon now and I still don’t see my name on the leaderboard or team sheet. (Team 12 Doozy Dozers). I’m wondering if I missed the cut off and therefore need a special authorization? Sorry for being a pain.

@paulg, did you reauthorize the application to read your data? (See original instructions for authorizing FS app.)
