Why is this necessary?
bouts.app is made and run by Ethan Madison and Zach Zipper, two alumni of University of Michigan Fencing. At Michigan, we participated in the Midwest Fencing Conference, which usually had a rush to tabulate results right before conference championships. Representatives from each school had to go through the season's results and make a spreadsheet for each fencer detailing each bout the fencer participated in, as well as another for each of the six squads. We would then send these to the conference secretary, who would spend many hours collecting the necessary information to establish seeding and have to deal with teams sending results in late or not at all. The MFC looked for a better solution for years, until we decided to be the solution.
