Hi there,
I have no clue where to start with this. I play badminton on Monday nights and there's usually around 10-15 of us on average. There's 3 courts with 4 to a court. Which means some people need to sit off if there's an excess or some people play singles if there is less people.
We usually do numbers, someone turns their back etc. However, no one ever remembers their number and then it's a debate for half an hour on what court they're supposed to be on. So much time is wasted faffing about with this every week.
I was thinking of coming up with a generator program. Where you enter your names into the system and hit generate. This would then tell you who your playing with and who against and on what court. I'd also like it to be smart enough to not put you with the same partner again or against the same people... obviously sometimes unavoidable but as much as possible to mix it up.
It would be excellent to have this as an app on the iPad, as it's easily transportable and can be whipped out.
So... what do you think and is this possible? Any other suggestions?
