As in every previous year, I am offering my tool from 2012 (bug fixes were made but it's essentially the same) for anyone's use. It was used by many countries in 2012 and by a few after that, and while I heard of some issues, AFAIK no one encountered any crippling problems (actual known bugs have been fixed anyway). I am also open to feature requests, except changing the two-level system which would be difficult.
If you are interested, please talk to me before the competition so there is ample time to set up the tool. I can probably set it up on Labs but I hate using Labs so if you have your own LAMP server or don't mind using ours, that would be preferable. I might also upload it to Github sometime. —Yan.
