Re: Re: Newbie question: How to update the status file of an already-created game?

Deadline stuff actually needs to be written out in the box (OTHER GAME
DATA) at the bottom of the page and then click the SUBMIT UPDATES.
Check the syntax here:

http://www.floc.net/dpjudge/?page=Status#timing

For example:

TIMING AT 21:00 MOVE 3D GRACE 6H DAYS SMTWTFS NEXT 1D

Deadlines process at 9 PM, with moves processed every 3 days with a 6
hour grace period.  Moves will process on all seven days of the week.
The confusing bit to me the first time was the "NEXT" command.  For
me, it helped if I think of NEXT as the default deadline, in this case
1 day.  If you don't add MOVES settings, moves will process according
the NEXT setting.  Personally, I think of NEXT as applying to
adjustments and MOVES as the setting for the moves.

Hope this helps.  It took me a few tries to get it figured out.
