Tournament Pool and Bracket Tracker 0.5.0

Tournament Pool and Bracket Tracker is a Java Servlet based generic game tournament pool bracket tracking application suitable especially for the NCAA basketball championship tournament. Features include bracket entering, multiple scoring systems, multiple users, groups, pools, etc. Tournament Pool and Bracket Tracker contains everything you need to run a tournament pool. It supports small groups or organizations who wish to provide an NCAA basketball tournament pool without a lot of administrative work in registering users or in calculating up-to-date results and possibilities. Though it was built with the NCAA "March Madness" tournaments in mind, it should be able to handle other sport tournament pools that use straight forward brackets. As an administrator, you will first log into the system like any other user. Any user can create a group and aministrate their own pool. A group is a set of players that play together in any number of pools. Pool adminstrators can choose from many different scoring systems. Scoring systems can be set up dynamically in the database. When you set up a group, you have a choice. Either you can tell the users about the pool, and have them register, then notify you. You would then add the users to the group manually. This keeps membership totally within your control. However, you can also create an invitation code. Youll then have an link to the system with that invitation code embedded. You can send this link to your users. When they click the link and login (with a possible detour through registration), they will be automatically added to your group. They can then create their bracket and add it to a pool without your direct involvement. You do risk that the email gets circulated to others and people you dont intend to enter your group do. Players can create as many brackets as they like, name them, leave them unfinished, come back to them later, etc. Players can add a bracket to a pool once the bracket is finished either from the bracket interface page or from the pool interface page. Once a tournament is underway, users can keep track of their progress as the administrator for a tournament updates the results of games. Tournaments results are updated by the administrator with the same interface players use to enter their brackets. Players are prevented from editing their brackets once it has been added to a pool that has a tournament underway. Tournament administrators can delegate the duty of keeping game results up to date to others if they arent going to be around for some of the games via a simple interface. This allows players to come into the system regularly during the tournament and check their results and the standings much quicker than your typical spreadsheet based systems. If something is updated wrong, the players will keep you honest. The results show current, remaining, and maximum available points. Any user can inspect the other players brackets in the pool. The brackets are presented with good picks in the green and bad picks in the red. Limitations:.
