CS4092 Fixture List Management Tool

Overview

You are required to develop a Java application to provide the functionality outlined herein to the end user. Your application should be menu-driven. The user should be permitted to repeatedly choose options from your menu until such time as the user selects the option to exit your application. You are expected to (i) minimize keyboard data entry (ii) validate user input and (iii) make appropriate use of methods. In addition, your code should not undertake any unnecessary comparisons.

You are required to document your source code such that the input to, the processing performed by and the output from each programmer-defined method is detailed.

State clearly any assumptions you make.

Functionality

When your program is launched, the end user should be permitted to commence a new league/division/tournament or to request that data relating to a league/division/tournament that is in progress be loaded (from the relevant data file(s)).

If the user wishes to create a new league/division/tournament your application should request that the end user supply the following information:

• Name of League/Division/Tournament.
• Number of the Participating Teams/Players (a positive integer >= 4 and <= 32).
• Play Frequency from (i) Once or (ii) Home and Away.
• Point to be awarded to a Team/Player based on the outcome of a fixture (for each of Win, Draw, Loss).
• The Name of each Team/Player.

In addition, the end user can request to have the fixture list generated (based on the information supplied here) and displayed (incorporating the information supplied here).

For a league/division/tournament in progress the end user should be able to:

• View a list of the fixtures played to date and the outcomes of these fixtures. This list should show the name of each team/player involved in a fixture along with the outcome.
• Enter the outcome for a fixture. Your application should present the name of each team/player involved in the fixture and request the actual score.
• View a list of the fixtures yet to be played. Your application should show the name of each team/player that will be involved in the fixture
• View an up-to-date leader board for a league/division/tournament (similar to what you would see in relation to The Premiership - see next page) (without the highlighting).
