A head-head photographic competition - a different yet fun competition to get the whole club involved.
{: .fs-6 .fw-300 }

This is a piece of software that I wrote for Bishop's Waltham Photographic Society several years ago. We wanted something light hearted to do post AGM. We hold our AGMs in January, so often images have a humourus Christmas flavour.
This is a piece of software that I wrote for Bishop's Waltham Photographic Society many years ago. We wanted something light hearted to do post AGM. We hold our AGMs in January, so often images have a Christmas-slant. But it could be used any time of the year; generally we've found it to be best done in a 'light-hearted' manner.

All the members vote on the favourite images, until like in sporting events, you get to semi-finals, then the final.
It's proved very enteraining evening and we intend to continue!
Starting from a pool of images; two images are picked at random. All the members vote on their favourite image from the two. The one with the fewest votes being eliminated. Much like like in sporting events, there are rounds so the number of images halves every time.

So starting from say 16 images in the first round, then 8 in the quarter-finals, 4 in the semi-finals, to the final 2 you get to semi-finals, then the final.

It's proved very enteraining evening and we continue to use it.

Though we've been using this for some years; this is the software's first public release - both for the software and the documentation. Please be gentle - and please do get in touch. I'd love other clubs to have the same fun interactive evenings we've had... so please do get in touch if you want to try this out.

# Install the software

Currently this is only available for Windows 10 - primarily as I don't have access to a Mac!
Currently this is only available for Windows - primarily as I don't have access to a Mac!

The latest release (v0.2) can be downloaded [here](https://github.com/osprey-photo/osprey-knockout/releases/download/v0.2/Osprey.Knockout-0.2.msi).

This is a standard windows installer, so install like anything else. *However* Windows will tell you it can't verify the origin of the program. You would need to accept and 'install anyway'.

MS require that the programs be electronically signed; that's good - but for software that is free I can't justify the several hundred £ that would be needed to get this properly signed.

Download the latest from [github](https://github.com/osprey-photo/osprey-knockout/releases/download/v0.2/Osprey.Knockout-0.2.msi). This is the latest release, for other releases and 'notes' about this releases please visit [this page](https://github.com/osprey-photo/osprey-knockout/releases/tag/v0.2). This is a standard Windows install - double click, and accept all the default options.
There should be now be icon for Osprey Knockout either on your backdrop or in the start menu.

The primary aim is that this is fun - it was created to do after our AGM. AGMs can 'dry' club evenings.
