Changes To The Web-site.

Just before the new season was about to start Graham asked me if I could display a list of the players with the most wins on the Web-site. The idea of this was to add a bit of competition to those who might be eligible for the Memorial challenge at the end of the season. I perhaps foolishly said yes of course and then spent several hours trying to work out a system to record and display the records. Graham wanted it to list the top 16 players, but it proved easier in the end to list every single player in the league. After several attempts to sort out an appropriate system I think I have come up with something that will be approved of by most people.

On the “League Tables” page is a link to a spreadsheet that displays every team in the league with every player listed and another page with all players listed in order of most wins. Each player has their individual wins/losses recorded against their names for all to see. The score for a loss against a player is either a Zero or a One depending on whether they won a leg and a win is of course a two. One big benefit for all this work is that in the event of a tie for any place in the league at the end of the season, not only will wins/losses be able to differentiate positions, but also actual players legs. Running totals of all points are displayed on each teams records for all to see. A further advantage of displaying the records like this is that anybody can easily check their results and dispute them if errors have been made. Of course players can also look up their next weeks opponents to see which players to avoid if they are doing well and who might give them an easy game!

Now that the system is set up it will not really take any longer for me to record the results each week than before, but we will have to see if it can be kept up to date and how every body reacts to their performance being revealed for all the WORLD to see!
