Online Athlete Tipping System Launched
12 April 2010 - By Sean Fishlock
We've just launched an innovative athlete tipping system for Athletics Australia and here's a quick rundown on why we think it is special.
Strategically this application was aimed at increasing involvement and is a fun and interactive tipping competition which allows anyone to register and create a profile. Once registered users can access tipping selections for athletics events, predicting Gold, Silver and Bronze medals and indicates which events you have and haven't already tipped. The site automatically generates a running score, percentage and leaderboard of all users.
We began building the application in March and it was completed in April. The project involved building a back-end admin interface using the Bravo framework which allows competitions and events to be managed including adding events and cut-offs for tipping, downloading and exporting statistics. Additionally the system is integrated into Clubs Online and Hy-Tek.
