On The Pitch

Last summer when I was doing my usual preseason SoccerSys updates and adding new features, I was curious how registrations were going.  We have almost 3/4 of our players register online while the rest use paper forms which we enter into the system manually. So I threw together a script to display realtime registration statistics from the database. It really helps with planning since the division coordinators can see how many players are going to be in each division.  Its not perfect (note the New column is all zeros – happens when the new kids get assigned to teams), but it does give a nice snapshot of registrations as they are coming in.  But to make it really cool, I think I’m going to experiment with one of the many PHP graphing packages out there so I can generate some charts showing the registration stats.  That would be too cool.  I wonder what other stats I should track for registrations.
