Table Tennis Tracker Web Application for Tournament Statistics Analysis

Abstract

The aim of this project is to amplify the table tennis tournament analysis via Web-Based application. Typically, the tournament scores used to be collected and displayed manually. All the information used to be captured by the referees during the matches, while most of the competitors provided only basic information and real-time scores online. Over the years of technological advancements, the modern development of software applications has helped users perform useful tasks and retrieve useful data based on the requests. The objective of this project is to develop a functional web application that will retrieve or store table tennis tournament statistical data and visualize them using tables, bar charts, pie charts, histograms as a medium of demonstration for the user. Moreover, the application will perform specific analysis on the scores and display insightful data about the tournament for league structures investigation. The developed system will include a database to store and retrieve data for display on the user interface. The development of the project is fully stacked (front-end and back-end), so it is built with the appropriate web technologies to function in the background (PHP, MySQL, Apache) while displaying results (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) on the page for the user. The project is managed using effective project management methods to plan, design, implement, develop, and maintain the application.
