message: What is the use for this template?  I'm not asking this in a negative way, as in saying that I personally believe it does not have a use, but am asking the question so I can take full advantage of it.  I like the idea and format, but want to know the desired application.  Cheers for the work!

message: Should the Tooheys New Cup be included in this template?
This is a city/state competition.  New Zealand, South Africe, and England have dozens of competitions at this level.S.ferguson 08:35, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What about the Shute Shield? It seems to be a competition of the same level. And we don't even have an article on GFI Hong Kong Tens. Conscious 09:23, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I have converted the template to timeline-like style. IMO, it makes the template much more readable. 
There's also an option to make all columns even, like this:

But in this case most rows become two-lined. Don't know what's better, a possible workaround is to make a single tile for the test series. The colours I've chosen are mostly arbitrary as well. Conscious 09:20, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Infact I retract my comment, the new box is very aesthetically pleasing thus there is no need for a hide feature. Cvene64 07:51, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually went ahead and added the [hide]/[show] option to the box before I read this discussion page. I think it looks a lot better. If you object just go ahead and revert my changes.--SomeStranger(t) 21:38, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
