USATT Ratings Tools

Update: It looks like the data layout for the source pages have changed, and some data in the applications are missing because of this. Instead of updating the tools listed below, I am instead working on a new website for the Ratings Tools. Please be patient while I work on the new site. Thanks!

The USATT Ratings Tools are now back online. I didn’t bother with rewriting all the tools yet because I am still thinking of a better way to gather/present the data. So here are the version one’s of the Ratings Tools:

ph Analysis
This tool provides a breakdown of matches for a player. The analysis was created by Paul Holliger, who was originally compiling the information by hand in a spreadsheet. Players can use the analysis for multiple reasons: scouting opponents, finding opponent/personal weaknesses, tracking player progression, and so on. The tool allows you to specify the start date, end date, highest rating, or lowest rating of the matches to analyze. The analysis will report matches based on ratings group (100 point increments). At the bottom of the report, a full analysis is presented, along with the overall win/loss percentage.

Matchups
This tool displays all matches between two players. This tool is what start the whole Ratings Tools idea. Simply specify two people, a player and an opponent, and view all the matches that they have played against each other, along with the tournament, score, and match result.

Most Matches
This tool displays the opponents that a player has played the most. This tool takes the same idea as Matchups, but shows a list of opponents a player has played, along with the number of wins and losses against the opponent. The list is ordered by opponents the player has played the most.

All Matches
This tool simply lists all the matches a player has played. There is not much more to it than this. The list is order by the most recent tournament.

Top Players
This tool returns the top player in each state. The tool displays the top player in each state that is a current USATT member and the top player in each state overall. It also displays the top U.S. player and top foreign player.

JS table_to_array and Scroller Lightbox

I just uploaded the two previous JavaScript-related projects: JS table_to_array and Scroller Lightbox. Nothing has changed from the previous site.

JS table_to_array
A script that takes a well-formed table and converts the data into a multi-dimensional array. The script will maintain all HTML tags within the table’s <td> tags.

Scroller Lightbox
A quick mashup of Thumbnail Scroller and Lightbox JS v2.03.
Update: It appears this is no longer working in some IE browsers. Since this is a mashup of two scripts, both of which are not created by me, I cannot provide support for any cross-browser issues.
