Given that clubs are being advised not to display results at events to discourage crowds gathering it would be good if online provisional results could be displayed during the event, assuming a mobile signal is available.
If anyone has advice/tips on how best to do this I'm sure it would be appreciated.

Re: Provisional Results Online
We use DropPages. It's very simple, but works fine.
We set up SiTiming on one computer to produce an HTML results file every five minutes, just of simple results, all in one file. That is written to the DropPages.com/content folder. And we connect that computer through a mobile acting as a wifi hotspot, so the DropPages folder automatically uploads.
Our website results page has a link to the Droppages folder - for example have a look at [url]tvoc-live.droppages.com[/url]. This is the link that would have been on our results page during the Chiltern Challenge.
And that's it. As I said, it's really simple.

Try contacting Robin Strain or Keith Roberts - they both have experience of online results at events.

I was just trying to encourage sharing of ideas.
Alun's suggestion of DropPages sounds perfect.
