[Till Valhalla]

I think this is it.

That will help us a lot, Kindly share it


Which version will be best?

Sorry, I missed that post for some reason. Go with any; though if people are putting their weight behind Python 3, might as well go with that.

Anyone interested in creating a Tournament fixtures program? Any language...output to notepad. I'm sure most league managers will be able to use it The code can also be used (with the creators permission & credit given) in one a new or existing text based cricket simulators.

What exactly do you need in a tournament fixtures program?

Something similar. But specifically for cricket.

Tournament Scheduler - Easily create a round robin tournament schedule
Free Round Robin Tournament Schedule Generator
Cricket Schedule Maker - Free cricket Scheduler


A group tournament, league, division or conference involves all competitors playing a number of fixtures (again, a fixture is one name for a tournament-match that determines who, out of two or three or more, will advance; a fixture may consist of one or more game-matches between competitors).

I can create that in about 30 mins... Too bad I cant access my PC at the moment

 

[Targaryen]

Even I can try it. 15 mins and there you go with the fixtures generator...

That would be great guys

Source code?

Source code?

None available. Will have to design from scratch.

Source code?

See if you can use attached.

Will have to get VS otherwise its easy. Will good polishes it won't take more than an hour. But I back out for now.

 

[ShamiLoverGlipGlops]

I can give a go. I can create a website that can be ported to an app for on the go fly with desktop application. If anyone wants it lets talk about it

In my first attempt at making the web based simulator, I had run into server limits with the hosting provider blocking my Ajax requests after a certain number of requests. Since I was making one Ajax request for each delivery bowled in a single request, I guess I was hitting the allowed number of requests per second if there were multiple persons accessing the webpage.

Any tips on how to go about simulating a delivery in such a case? My v1 of the simulator was purely client side (i.e. Javascript) but since I needed to implement new features in it, I had to involve service side aspect to it too. However, that meant Ajax coming into picture and I seem to have a hit roadblock now.
