4-Down Fantasy: Phase 2



I've completed phase 1, which was the interface for recording all of the data per TV show/PPV each week. 

I did change a few things up from what I described in the last post about it.  The main things, points-wise, that changed were:  instead of scoring each match a wrestler is in on a card in the rare case that a wrestler wrestles in multiple matches, only their highest-scoring match will be counted.  But there is a new attribute "Competed in Multiple Matches" which will be worth 10 points on a TV show and 15 points on a PPV.  It simplifies the interface and in the case of a tournament happening on one show, you won't have one or two guys scoring an obscene amount of points.  Instead, they'll get the points for their best match on the show, additional points for being in multiple matches, and then there is also another new attribute "Won Tournament Final" worth another 5-10 points (not sure yet). 
The system is also designed so that we can have multiple people entering data for every show.  Then I'll go in, review the data from everyone who entered it for that show, and then I'll enter the final data myself based on everyone's input.  Under each wrestler, you'll have a text field so that you can enter notes explaining why you scored the wrestler the way you did.  This way, we'll be sure that the final score is definitely correct.

I'm now on phase 2, which is the actual code that will run through the points entered for a wrestler for a week, and then adjust that wrestler's current score and value. 

To add another element to the game, wrestlers will also gain value (but not score) based on their votes in the Top 5 wrestler voting that you can participate in here.  So the most popular wrestlers chosen by all the users here will get a little bonus each week.  It won't be based on how many votes, rather their position in the full list of ranked wrestlers for that week.  That will prevent a group of people from voting one wrestler to the point where they rise in value too sharply.  You'll still be able to help a wrestler out by getting your league or group of friends to vote for that wrestler, but the gains will be fixed.

As soon as I get this part done, I'll be ready to work on the actual game interface that all the players will use to play the game.

I think at my current pace, I'll be ready to hit that last phase by next weekend.  So this thing could be ready pretty soon!
