Workbook and saved data

Workbook sheets

Start from a workbook with the supplied schema. Sheet lookup is case-insensitive. Keep the headers below when editing in Excel; do not replace competitor IDs with names.

Sheet	Headers
Competitor	CompetitorID, Name, Country, State/Province, Gender
wood	Scientific Name, species, speciesID, country, region, janka_hard, spec_gravity, crush_strength, shear, MOR, MOE
Results	CompetitorID, Event, Time (seconds), Size (mm), Species Code, Quality, HeatID, Date

The application can add result metadata beyond these base headers. Preserve those columns, including competition identity and outcome/correction information.

Competitor identity

CompetitorID links a roster entry to historical results. Existing IDs are preserved; new IDs are opaque UUID-backed identities. Deleting a competitor must not recycle their ID for someone else. Names may change or be duplicated.

Names are local and judge-facing. V3 receives namespaced pseudonymous IDs and the sporting facts needed to calculate, rather than using names as identity.

Historical results

Use SB for standing block and UH for underhand. Store raw cutting seconds, diameter in millimetres, the species code, quality, heat identity and a valid date. The starter's elapsed count is not raw cutting time. Enter competition outcomes through the application so their metadata remains consistent.

V2 uses valid dated history strictly before the saved prediction cutoff. Undated, same-day, future and invalid rows do not contribute. Linux V3 freezes evidence for a round and can admit valid settled completions at a later-round boundary.

Where records live

Record	Purpose
Excel workbook	Canonical competition results and roster/wood data.
JSON save	Event or tournament setup, fields, progress, results and payouts.
STRATHMARK ResultStore	Best-effort local historical evidence.
Engine-selection database	The competition's chosen engine and original authority.
V3 command ledger and receipts	Durable submissions, acknowledgments, forecasts, approvals, issued fields and settlements.
V3 runtime database, head and key	Signed local competition history and recovery authority.

Excel is written first; ResultStore is a separate write. A successful workbook write is not rolled back if ResultStore fails. JSON saves use validation, atomic replacement and rolling backups.

The public V2 /calculate route reads its request and is stateless. Its separate PredictionLedger is not automatically populated by STRATHEX's ordinary calculation.

Keep these records together when backing up. See Backups and recovery.
