 ====== Contest Spreadsheets ======
-Here are three LibreOffice spreadsheets for different contests:
+Here are some [[https://www.libreoffice.org/|LibreOffice]] spreadsheets for different contests:
-  * {{rac_contests_v20210701.ods |RAC Canada Day / Winter}} (Last updated on July 1, 2021)
+<WRAP center round important 80%>
-  * {{winter_fieldday_v20230128.ods |Winter Field Day}} (Last updated on <wrap hi>Jan 28, 2023</wrap>)
+These spreadsheets do **not** work with Excel.  See below for more information on how to use them.
-  * {{fieldday_v20210701.ods |Field Day}} (Last updated on July 1, 2021)
+</WRAP>
-All three spreadsheets are used in very similar ways, but they are different to account for the different rules and ways to calculate the points.
