Tennis Tournament Website

Project Description: The project goal was to create a simple web application which allows staff to upload tennis tournament data –from an ongoing or completed tennis match/tournament. The system automatically allocates points based on user-defined targets, stores and retrieves game data from a MySQL database, and displays an automatically generated tournament bracket.

Key Features:

Data Upload: Allows users to upload tennis tournament data and match results for individual players. [Figure 1]
Automated Points Allocation: Automatically allocates points to players based on targets set by the shareholder (user). [Figure 2]
Database Integration: Stores and retrieves game data using a MySQL database, ensuring data persistence and accessibility. [Figure 2]
Tournament Bracket Display: Automatically generates and displays a tournament bracket based on the uploaded data. [Figure 3]

Technologies Used:

Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
Backend: Flask
Database: MySQL

Project Duration:
