Squash Ladder PHP - Sports Ladder
Squash ladder is a complete browser based application that runs a sports ladder. If you have not heard of a sports ladder before it is a type of league that operates in many racket sports (tennis, badminton, squash etc), normally on a paper wall chart. Players are ranked from first to last. A player in the ladder may challenge any player up to x number of places above them. If they win the game, they swap places with the challenged player. If they lose no swap takes place. Over a relatively short space of time players find themselves in an appropriate place on the ladder so that they are being challenged by players slightly worse than themselves and they are challenging players slightly better than themselves.
This application is written in PHP and runs off a simple MySQL database. It is a complete package offering many features to administer the ladder. It has been in use by my local squash club since 2001and has been converted so that it can be used by numerous squash clubs running off the same database and with different admins. The source code will shortly be released under a GNU/GPL license to enable people to install it on their own servers.
