Howdy All,

I apologise for the lack of Bid Pairings for June.

There was a change in the format of the Pairings document provided this month which has broken the parser I wrote to convert the CRS Bid Portal data into the PDF Format. Due to a combination of personal and family sickness and work issues, I just haven’t had time to find the problem and fix it in time. I will do so in time for the July roster.

This issue is complicated by the fact that Ek no longer provides us with the Pairings data in advance, instead we must strip the file from the CRS Bid Interface when bidding opens. We used to have a week before the opening of bidding to get the pairings together, now we have no time at all.
