Finally getting back to some of the computer related tasks I had stacking up. Today I am working on writing the Tournament Organization Software I had wrote about oh so long ago.

I had originally called it Order of Battle but I realized there’s a game out there by the same name and wanted to avoid confusion. Ergo, I’ve tentatively renamed the project to EasyTO (as in Easy Tournament Organizer), that may stay the same or it might change.

Today I started anew with my code and took a different approach that what I had in the past and so far it has been an avalanche of working functionality. It is till only running in the console and will probably be a console based program until I get a majority of the functionality working.

Here’s an overview on how the project stands and what I plan on implementing in the future:

Current Status

Setup

• Add players and which team they are on (Red v Blue at the moment)
• Add tables and number of players per table

 Automation

• List players as a whole
• List players sorted by teams
• Assign players to tables randomly

Management

• Add scores to players

Short Term Goals

Setup

• Import player information from file (useful if the damn thing crashes)

Automation

• List players by score
• Save information to file
• Assign players to tables based on score

Long Term Goals

• Cloud based storage for player and tournament information
• Check for software updates and download updates
