Hiho,

so - ive been thinking about some idea for a project which could involve me for a longer time than couple of hours - and imo we are lack of some system which helps to set up and manage tournaments.

I would like to ask - what do you expect to get from application like this? Do you have any ideas? Or its not needed at all?

Re: Project idea - tournament setup application

i don't know exactly but i would like to see .. some event manager with possibility to shuffle participants able to post results and mvds / if storage is a problem then maybe just a place to attach the links to them. With possibility for modifying the generated plan in case needed. I dont say that the websites we use now are not good .. i think they are great but maybe we want some more stuffs i don't know .. what other think ? Is this needed or not ? or maybe other ideas ... ?

yea, nice idea freak.
That should be easy access to watch results (screens, links and demos, what terror said)
Easy access i mean 1 page (or 2 maybe) for one cup/league/tournament/event. That you shouldn't search through all pages to find every match, game etc. That every1 could follow by the link and check current situation and results of the event.
Also there shouldn't be another advertisement. Only links to the event thread and maybe videos archive (if there was streaming)

why cant this place get something that automatically post's results into a database?
like QL or ESR for example? it would do away with rank all would be automated.

Well, because easy asked for concrete ideas but community refused to participate (except 2 exceptions) and like most threads the request ended in a flamewar, [sarcasm]which is a very good motivation for a developer[/sarcasm]

But instead of being selfcritical the community blamed it on easy, like everything.

And a system like QL ist too expensive to make it and all server need to be connected with the database (a matter of trust? in which the community lacks also, see borg-case with an totally exagerated reaction).

maybe the reason is prohibited access to it for anyone who has something in common with programming... offered my help some time ago - nobody answered.

Basic ideas:
- how many clans / players / game / mod / gametype / cup name
- groups or elimination? bo3? bo5? configurable score system
- assign team to group / pair - configurable if random set ( maybe there is some webservice from http://www.random.org/ or similar to give real random results ) or set from baskets ( like in soccer - but it would cause some flame wars imo )
-refreshed table by each accepted game
-would be gr8 to send demos/screens somewhere
-generate war post from schema ( easier for rankind mods to take care of it ) -i dont think we could get any acess to db so it could just generate schema to copy paste
...

technologies:
java for backend(ws) my sandbox : ), flex/javafx (sth to learn) for frontend to make it smooth. Hosting: probably i should buy some for java...

Its important to let it grow piece by piece, not everything on first release ; )
