Storage Format

How is the JSON stored on the users computer.

File and File Name Format:

• All seating files MUST be stored in plain text files.

• All seating files MUST have an .OSF file extension.

• Filenames MUST use only ASCII characters.

Other than the above requirements, seating file filenames can be named anything. We recommend including at least the table name and hand number in the filename.

Seating Information per File

Seating files are self contained and should contain a single hand per file.

Seating files MUST be written to a separate folder alongside the hand history folder. There should be a new file for each new hand which is written as soon as the hand is dealt, to allow a tracker to access the player list as soon as possible. Trackers should delete these files once they've been read, but for users without a tracker the files should be deleted automatically by the site after the hand ends to avoid a build-up.
