AFL Ladder Generator

[Matthew2708]

I want a program where you can edit the fixture, put scores in and it will calculate the ladder automatically for you.

A bit like allthestats.com ladder predictor, but you can actually edit the fixture.
The ladder calculator must be pre programed as well.

Been looking for ages for one but can't find one.

You should be able to do this in Excel.

I remember modifying one based on darts, look it up in google. (I don't have excel on this computer)

Someone try this, it's fairly simplistic, but I'm curious to see if and how it works for other people.

That's pretty good for predicting the results, it updates really well. Do you actually use that software to work out the all time ladder and the rest of the ladders on your site?
Also, how do you change the fixture?

No I just made that today.

What's the idea behind changing the draw? I didn't spend any time making it do that because I couldn't see the point.

Oh so you can put in your own fixture in for future years and stuff like that, that's all.

It'd be a tedious job manually creating the whole fixture list. Bump this thread in March 2012, and I'll create a new draw for you

Also, this version saves any changes you make (when you close it)

Thanks.
Do you use that program to work out the all time ladder? If not, how?

 

[*Paul*]

I use another program.

Try this one if you could, it's out of date as I wasn't happy with how it was going. It has a little more scope.

This version doesn't load.

 

[*Paul*]

It requires its data file, called "default", in the same directory as the executable.

 

[Matthew2708]

I'll try it then and see if works.

Is it possible for me to create the draw instead? I've got the time.

 

[*Paul*]

Sure. Just open up the "default" file that goes with the program with a text editor.
Each line represents a game:
1:3:104:14:84:5:20110324
Round:Team 1 ID:Team 1 score:Team 2 ID:Team 2 score:Venue ID: Date (yyyymmdd)

Any game not yet played requires both scores to be set to -1.

Team IDs are
1=Adelaide
2=Brisbane Bears
3=Carlton
4=Collingwood
5=Essendon
6=Fitzroy
7=Western Bulldogs
8=Fremantle
9=Geelong
10=Hawthorn
11=Melbourne
12=North Melbourne
13=Port Adelaide
14=Richmond
15=St Kilda
16=Sydney
17=University
18=West Coast
19=Brisbane Lions
20=Gold Coast
21=GWS

The venue and date aren't used. If you are going to include GWS, you'll need this version. Since it was quick job, chances are that fiddling about too much may break it.

Woah, that is a lot of work. I'll try it then. So you created the whole 2011 fixture using that?

Also for your site, how do you know if a record has been broken or not?

Also it breaks when you add Round 25.

 

[*Paul*]

Woah, that is a lot of work.

Told ya

So you created the whole 2011 fixture using that?

No, that's merely a program I made in response to your request. When the draw was released, I parsed it from a webpage into a more useful form, which was used to generate the draw that went with that program.

Also for your site, how do you know if a record has been broken or not?

I don't. Data goes in, data comes out, data gets uploaded. The majority of it I never (or rarely) see.

There's no 2012 fixture yet, what is it exactly you're trying to do?

 

[Matthew2708]

Well trying to create a ladder out of Footy Fanatic FX, just playing around.

Do you have any idea on how to edit the fixture for Footy Fanatic FX?

The data gets uploaded? To where abouts and how?

 

[Minhpho]

Pretty excited about this, it's been a long time coming.

What? :S

 

[Matthew2708]

Ahh Paul, is it possible that you can put an extra 8 rounds to make it 32? and I'll do the fixture?
Thanks.

(The program).

As before, only very quickly tested, probably easy to break

 

[Matthew2708]

Thanks.

Hip and shouldered.
