Box League Error Prevention
December 27, 2011 in
This month, a few players reported more than one match result against the same opponent.
Scott Findlay reported two identical matches against Peter John. This was probably the result of clicking twice on the submit button. If we make the button disappear on the first click, that should prevent that problem.
Rick Benner reported three different results for matches with Leah Hagel. For this kind of error we need to check to see if match results have already been reported for these players. If so, then we need an error message telling players they have already reported match results against this player this month.
Matt Carpenter reported both a box league match result and a ladder match result against the same player on the same date to the same box league. The error message above should take care of this issue.
Another thing we should do (if it hasn’t been done already) is to make it impossible for losers to report scores.
And we should alter the drop down in the report sequence to display only those players that they are eligible to report against. If a player goes to report and he has already played one of his opponents, then that player’s name should not be in the dropdown. If he has already reported for both opponents, he should see only a message telling him that all result have been reported this month already.
