Tournament Organiser
This project was commissioned by Dynamic Flame badminton club and was intended to assist them in the setup and running of their badminto tournaments.
Context
Dynamic Flame required an application that allowed them to easily and efficiently input players' names and contact details, the formats they compete in (singles or doubles), and the grade they are in that format.
Development
Development started out by planning and testing the process in which I create and time the games automatically for the tournament organiser. Once that concept was completed, I started the front-end development, creating a set of inputs that allowed the user to enter players into the database as well as edit and delete them. The user interface is completed with ways to create new tournaments, people, and games. Users can also add existing people to tournaments and copy existing tournament player lists.
Tools
I decided to utilise Microsoft Windows Forms for the development of the application front-end and back-end. I also decided to use a database to store this information, and therefore made use of SQLite to interface C# with SQL. I am also using GitHub as version control.
Final Product
This project is not completed yet. The next step is to export these results into an Excel template that has been used in the past to increase the ease of use for Dynamic Flame staff. Once all the information is ported from the SQL database to Excel, and back again, the application will be ready for beta testing in a Dynamic Flame tournament.
