Matchplay Posting

I post the results from the pinball tournaments I run on our site, which usually involves copying a previous post and updating all the info by hand. I took some time this week to put together a script that reads the results from matchplay and builds a post with all the right info.

It’s not enough to publish as a git repo or anything and I just wanted to have a place to keep it so it’s here for now.
