This project is a desktop application designed to manage and run knockout-style tournaments. It serves as a comprehensive planner for event organisers to create events, manage participants, and track results in real-time, while also providing a portal for participants to view their performance history.
- Secure Authentication: Create a new account or log in via email, password, and CAPTCHA.
- Event Management: Start a new tournament or continue managing a previously created event.
- Participant Management: Register new participants (with name, gender, DOB) into the database or select existing participants for an event.
- Data Entry: Enter qualification times to seed the top 8 participants into the knockout bracket.
- Live Tournament Bracket: View a visual representation of the tournament (Quarter-finals, Semi-finals, Finals) that updates as round times are entered.
- Results Capture: Enter times for each knockout round to automatically advance winners.
- Database Management: Edit participant details (name, DOB, etc.) or event details directly from the organiser panel.
- Leaderboard Generation: Output a final leaderboard as a text file once the tournament is complete.
- Secure Login: Authenticate using a unique ParticipantID and CAPTCHA.
- View Personal Details: Check personal information (name, gender, DOB) stored in the system (read-only).
- View Past Results: Access a historical log of all events participated in and the results/times achieved in each.
The application is built around seven main forms:
- frmLogin: Authenticates Organisers (email/password) or Participants (ParticipantID). Includes CAPTCHA validation.
- frmCreateAccount: Allows new Organisers to register a new account with validation.
- frmSelectEvent: Prompts the Organiser to either start a new event or select an existing one to continue.
- frmSelectParticipants: An interface for Organisers to add new participants to the database or select at least 8 registered participants for the current event.
- frmQualification: A screen for the Organiser to input the qualification times for all selected participants.
- frmOrganiser: The main dashboard for event management, featuring two tabs:
- Edit Tab: Allows for viewing, searching, sorting, and updating participant and event data.
- View Tab: Displays the live tournament bracket, captures round-by-round results, and generates the final leaderboard.
- frmParticipant: A read-only screen for Participants to view their personal details and a grid of their past event results.
