Hello! We are working on re-implementing a couple of changes we made to a earlier version on DOMjudge in Southern California. One of the changes is to time to the second instead of the minute.
It looks to me like the scorecache_ tables are what is used to build the scoreboard displays for the public and the jury. I see the time is currently stored in those tables in minutes, but it also looks like there is one function (calcScoreRow) that populates the table, and it is doing the division by 60 to get minutes.
Indeed, the only place where the {rank,score}cache_{jury,public} tables are modified is in the function calcScoreRow in lib/lib.misc.php and this a very deliberate design decision. (The only exception is clearing the tables on the refresh_cache admin page.)
If the scorecache_ tables are not used for anything else, I see no reason why I couldn't change that function in order to get seconds. Is my understanding correct?
Indeed, although I see one minor caveat: the ICPC export functions also use the cache tables (in www/jury/impexp_baylor.php) so you have to modify this code accordingly if you are uploading results to the ICPC website, which expects times in minutes.
Best, Jaap
