The Creation of Teams

The last time that we spoke, we talked about how the create team and groups interface will be working. Well we’ve now got some more updates to share with you.

Right now you’re presented with a list of golf players that come either from your friends list or from being associated with a specific golf course. The player list lets you toggle this choice, lets you sort by username, first name and last name. There is also a search box where you type in the name that you’re looking for and all matching players will be displayed. Now when you’re ready to add a player to a team, you need only click one of the four buttons displayed which correspond to the matching teams.

Team Listing

Now you have your players added to the teams that you want them to play on, but you have one extra player who just happens to not be a GolfStakes.com member. Not a problem. You click the green and white plus sign which says “One Time Player” and you will be given a dialog box like the following:

From this dialog box you can create a temporary one time player that will be scored and tracked inside of the tournament and any rounds that associated with a tournament.

In Summary

Well that’s all we’ve got for now. Took a lot of work to get this polished and working. Not on the list is getting the teams made into groups.

Team and Group Management

The last couple of weeks have been spent building the Teams and Groups section of the Tournament interface. This page is going to be a heavy hitting action page. Take a look at the following screen shot.

Options

Right off the bat you’re going to have options to select creating a team or creating a group. This way you can setup your tournaments the way you want to play them. Next you can see a player list search box. Just typing anything into this text area will filter the player list down to the specific item you’re looking for.

The dropdown list is used to load the player list. Right now you can select players either by your friends list, or by the course that you have selected to play your tournament on.

Once the grid has been loaded, you can now scroll the rows up and down depending on how large a list you have, you can also sort the grid by username, first name and last name. When you’ve found the player you would like to add to the tournament, click on one of the four buttons displayed, and the player will then be moved over to the correct team list.

Currently the team list is just a working example which is displaying the user ID . When the grid is completed you will be able to see all information that you currently see on the rounds page for individual play. Take a look at this screen shot for an example of the information.

Now this information will not be editable on the grid itself. We’re planning on having a pop out edit form to make it easier for you.

Conclusion

Okay, so we’ve walked through the top section. We’re still working on the details of the team list grids and how we’re going to make the groups. But as you can see, we’ve done a lot so far an there is a ton more work to do.

Hope you like the direction we’re going with this, and as always we’re open to any comments that you have about the site.
