TrialTrackr: A Tabulation App for Mock Trial (As Opposed to Real Trial)
Forked from the original project developed by Macalester College students: Elliott Averett, Gozong Lor, Cara Cheng, and Amy Nguyen
Purpose
TrialTrackr is a convenient way to pair teams at mock trial tournaments, adhering to the tabulation manual set by American Mock Trial Association.
Support
TrialTrackr currently supports 4-round tournaments paired in accordance with the AMTA tabulation manual, including Bye Teams.
TrialTrackr does not support power-protected pairing (of the kind used at AMTA regionals and ORCs), weighted partial ballot, or bracket-based pairing methods at this time.
Technical Spec
Original:
- Framework: Angular JS
- Styles: Bootstrap
Update Plan
The point of this fork is to modernize the technology used for trialtrackr and to also actually get it up and hosted again.
The app will be migrated to Vue + Firebase. With the resurrection of a backend, we can include some new features:
- Tournament history: currently, trialtrackr cannot be refreshed since state isn't stored anywhere
- Tab room profiles: the person running tab should be able to log in to access their tournament
- Coach/Spectator profiles: a profile for people who want to see up to date tournament results
In terms of features, I'll also take a look at adding additional pairing logic not available currently, specifically power-protection, weighted partial ballots, and brackets.
