I've recently been looking for some open source software that will enable me to run a squash/tennis/badminton ladder on the Web. I haven't found any. So, it's time to write my own. Haskell is my language of choice. Before I start this project, is there anyone out there who has written some code that might be of use to me? Want to share? -- Robin Bate Boerop
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello fellow squashy, Sorry I cannot provide any software references for you, but I have had similar thoughts to yourself. In particular, I keep a track of my win rate for one of the competitions I play in - but I do this manually. Each time I do, I think, "gee, I should just fire up ghci and blah blah...", but of course, I get home from squash at "ridiculous o'clock" and so ghci is a bit contradictory to my immediate objective - to sleep. I'm not sure if you're aware of the "usual" method of scoring local competitions, but it is a match of best of 5 (as usual) games and a win percentage is calculated by number of games won/total number of games played. For example, suppose I play 3 matches and win 3/0 3/2 and lose 1/3, my win percentage is number of games won (3+3+1)/total number of games played (3+3+1+0+2+3) == 7/12 == 58.3% Many sporting bodies use this number for grading, etc. so it would be good have a cumulative number, with graphs, etc. and for comparison to others (i.e. for grading). A bit early for feature requests I know :) I'll put my hand up as a potential volunteer if you decide to pursue it further. Where do you play? Tony Morris http://tmorris.net/ Robin Bate Boerop wrote:

I'd previously written an implementation of the Glicko rating system in
SML. Since I've been trying to learn Haskell, I decided to translate it.
The results are here:
