Goal
The client held offline cyber-football tournaments. The development of a web service was ordered to automate the competition, reach players across Russia and level up the project to the CIS scale.
Solution
We analyzed and designed the mechanics of tournaments, distribution of players logic according to the tournament grid, statistics and rating system. After evaluating the data, we favored the Ruby on Rails framework. It is suitable to implement the described functionality, and its template engine copes well with typical pages of tournaments and matches.
Technologies
Responsive Design
We designed and composed all the pages according to the designs. We developed our own library to visualize tournament grids.
Tournament Logic
Players automatically move around the tournament grid according to the results of matches. Their personal statistics are considered, too.
The Liga-Online community is divided into national divisions: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other countries. We developed a feature to create subdomains for each country through the admin panel. Thus, a division of each country can hold its own tournaments using the common Liga-Online platform.
Players Statistics and Rating
Player’s statistics include many indicators: the history of games, the numbers of matches played, victories and defeats, goals scored and playoffs.
Based on the data, the system forms a global top list of players. The list is filtered by city and tournament type.
Notification System
In order for participants not to miss their matches and important news, we made a notification system on Telegram and VK.
Chat
We developed a chat, so that rivals could contact each other before a match.
