The online racing simulator
League manager
(preface: please don't care about my ridiculous english)

Hi all, my request is similar to others from year 2006. Long time ago. But still dissatisfied.

I need a League management system that could use great existing tools as LFSLapper (by Gai Luron), LFSPoints ( by DarkTimes).

My needs are simple and, I think, useful for many other LFS maniacs, but the difficult for me is my absolute ignorance of php language.

The system would have these features:

- registration page (with realtime check of existing LFS World nickname) to the league
- signup to championship
- signup to single race
- qualifications managed by LFSLapper and results inserted to MySQL db (with declared max number of partecipants and division in pools)
- auto reminder by mail to racers with server password and event details
- extract results from (autosaved) mpr and store them into db, publishing of results and assign racesr/teams points (like LFSPoint does)

Additional features
- retrieve statistics and data of racers from LFSWorld (like HotTracker does)
- create charts of racers who partecipates to league events


Thats all.

Problems
- LFSLapper does not manage racing points
- LFSPoints is a stand-alone application and it does not manage different points systems based on pools

Weakness of project
- lot of leagues = lot of data/charts/statistics without sense

Solution
- I think that the manager must be build thinking about an international shared league system. Teams or leagues that want to join this system will share their data each other. The championships, cups or single events are managed individually by project members; the global charts are shared.

The stenght of this system is the "Quality Certificate"... this Championship is proud member of ... (name must be invented).

Teams or leagues that want to join must give a contribute to the creation of the system and there will be only 1 team/league for nation (maybe countries with lot of racers, I'm thinking about Germany and UK, also 2).

My last perplexity was about sharing this idea: if it is good somebody could realize it very quickly and I will have not obtained what I need, I will be looking again for a php solution (or programmer)...

If it is stupid... Ok, I look like (or I am) a stupid

Your idea is just as great as your english is (great! )

It's not a stupid idea, but I think you should hire (Read: pay) someone. Not just a regular programmer but someone who's used to work with all those InSim applications.

Ready to do it. But I cannot find anybody. Are You avaiable?

At the moment - no... Need to finish 3 and make 2 new sites...
I have done this on liveforspeed.at where users can register and participant in the austrian championship. The league tool I have created is a module for drupal (http://drupal.org), so with drupal I get a registration page and a signup feature.

The league tool itself covers all the features you describe, e.g.:
- Show race statistics similar to lfsstats: http://liveforspeed.at/?q=league/results/120
- Calculate the standings: http://liveforspeed.at/?q=de/league/standings/10
- Manage multiple leagues with different rules

The data for the league tool is created with a second tool called racecontrol. Racecontrol creates a stats file with the race result, laptimes etc. and this stats file can be uploaded with a web form so the data is stored in the database for the league tool.
Racecontrol can be used with a mpr file, or also can be connected to the lfs server itself. With the second option you also get a tracker: http://liveforspeed.at/?q=en/oelfsmtracker

I manage the austrian championship with my tools since 2006, but this tools are still work in progress. There is also no documentation how to install this and how this works. This is the main reason why I have not yet announce my software it the programmers or tools section here in this forum.

So there is only the source code until now:
League Tool: https://openbakery.org/svn/rep ... nk/drupal/modules/league/
Charts: https://openbakery.org/svn/rep ... upal/modules/league_graph
Racecontrol: https://openbakery.org/svn/repos/trunk/racecontrol/
thanks, I'll try it.
