OK Then, back on topic.
I think Video Intro's, Streaming, Webcasts, AutoRanking calculations and all the bells and whistles would be nice, but not very likely considering there is less than 2 weeks to go until the Brisbane event, so lets keep it realistic and it can be flashed up later.
A PC projectable version of the Whiteboard fight-tree is more likely to be useful immediately. Something that can display the tree, have results entered it, show the spectators and competitors who won, who they're fighting next, and if you want to get ambitious, an auto-updated "Scheduled time for each fight" display.
You calculate the time's as an offset from the current time, and when a scheduled fight actually occurs, the software could compare the actual fight time against the scheduled time, work out whether you are running ahead or behind time and display the updated times.
Or perhaps a "T-Minus" display on each fight, so it doesnt show that this fight will occur at 3.30pm, but instead shows, this fight should occur in 92 minutes and counts down ? That should help keep competitors happy about turn-around times.
Even thats getting flash though. Even a manually updated system would be great for this event if it can display a neat, understandable dual-elimination tree on a large-screen or projector.
I dont know what Res the Suncorp super-screen runs at, but given that its being fed from a composite video signal, I wouldnt use tiny fonts at 1024+ resolution.. think TV screen res.. A power-point style presentation with bug chunky writing would be safer. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people
