A fun office pool game based on MLB

MLB Runs Pool Game

This is a simple office pool game based on MLB scores. The basic rules are:

• Players sign up and buy one or more entries
• At the beginning of the MLB season, each entry is randomly assigned a team
• The first team with final run scores matching every number from 0 to 13 wins

The more complete set of rules are in entries/index.html.erb

Rake tasks to know

• Use rake import_data:teams to create Team records for all MLB teams by scraping ESPN data.
• Use rake game_state:assign_teams to randomly assign MLB teams to unassigned Entries.
• Use rake import_data:advance to scrape ESPN for scores and check for winners. Date range starts on the first day without a Game or the first day of the 2015 season, if there are no games. Date range ends one day before the current date.
• Use rake game_state:reset to erase all scores. Users and entries are retained but team assignment and winner info fields are cleared.
• Use rake game_state:assign_notifications to create NotificationTypeUser records so all users get email alerts on new hits and when the league ends.

TODO

• Live scores of in progress games on the scoreboard
