Re: How to add a contest?

[Drew Arnett]

Assuming you don't need TLF to calculate a score on the fly nor track
multipliers worked or needed, can TLF work for you for these contests?

Rather than trying to modify TLF to score or track multipliers worked
or needed, I'd suggest writing a small second program to do that by
watching/reading the log file.  That'd be the least work overall I
think.

Best regards,

Drew
