I was directed to this site/forum by a friend who told me I might be able to find someone to help me out with a project I'd like written. I've been searching for a Fantasy Football type script for a while now but have never come across anything. If you're familiar with Fantasy Football I'll try to explain. Even if you're not, I'll try to explain. I'll use football as an example, but I'd like it to be customizable for any sport or game.
The game involves creating your own football team. You select players from a list of available REAL players. Maybe I pick 2 players from the Packers, 3 players from the Patriots, and so on. The person playing the game creates a team of the best available players. They create their own "fantasy" team. Basically, they are like the coach. You get a bunch of people together and form a league. Everyone in that league creates their own team like I just mentioned to play against everyone elses team in the league. Everyone picks the players from the same list of football players so that one football player can't be used twice. Based on how your team does each week during the football games, you get points. The one with the most points at the end of the season wins.
Every week you enter the statistics from the game: Touchdowns, rushing yards, etc. and the points are then given based on how you set up your point system. Say your team made 3 touchdowns and maybe the rules that were set for the game give you 3 points per touchdown. When you enter the number of touchdowns every team got, it would calculate their points....and so on for a lot of different scoring techniques.
What I'm looking for is something that would allow you to do this:
1. Pick players from a drop down list (that could be modified by the person who is running the game...."the commissioner") for each position on the team. Quarterback, kicker, etc. You should be able to add or remove as many position fields as you want, since it could be modified for any sport or game.
2. Once that player is selected, it becomes unavailable to other users so you can't have duplications. Now, when these players are being selected, it's not a free for all. It is done in something called a draft where everyone waits while one person selects one player, then it goes to the next person and so on. The selections are done at random, so I might be #3 in the list to choose a player and you might be #7. You can only pick one player at a time, and then we start at the top again and everyone picks their second player, and so on until you have all the players you need. All your positions need to be filled.
3. An area to display rules and messages to all the players. This could actually just be in a forum.
4. A way to input weekly statistics and results from the actual football games. You'd need a separate field for each possible area you could get points. Like one for # of touchdowns, one for # of fumbles, and so on.
5. You'd also need a way to enter how your scoring will work so if you enter 7 touchdowns for say Tom Brady from the Patriots, whoever has TOm Brady as their Quartback will get the right number of points for 7 touchdowns, etc.
6. You'd also need something like a stats board where all the "fantasy" teams can keep track of their total number of points and their rank in the game.
7. Ability to register usernames and passwords.
This is just a stand alone script and doesn't need to be incorporated into Threads or any other forum software.
If anyone can help me out with this, or direct me to someone who can it would be appreciated! You can contact me via PM or e-mail. I'm on a limited budget, but let me know what you think something like this would run and we can talk if you're interested.
Thanks everyone!!
