Introducing CANZStats!

[Scav3nger]

Before I begin I must stress the point that this is still very early days in the process, what I am about to show you and open discussions about is not final.



Introducing CANZStats, a web based stat tracking platform for the CANZ Racing Community!

The progress of the last couple of weeks has been a slow build up to today. I started the foundations of the new system on Friday after a few weeks of planning and a moderate amount of internal discussion between z00lu and myself. It is still very much early days in development but I'm sharing the concept imagery with you guys to start getting some community input and ideas for the system.

To briefly explain some of the information we'll be keeping track of, I must first share the concepts for the driver profile and the circuit information:

Remember these are concepts, while the final result will look similar, there will be differences in the end product. I got these concepts to the point in which I was confident I knew the overall direction I was heading before moving on to another section of the system.

I believe you'll be able to get the gist of it from the images, but just in case, here's some of the information we'll be keeping track of using CANZStats:

Race Starts

Wins

Championships

Lap Records

Pole Positions

Your global points earned (across RGL and CANZ)

Total distance travelled

Laps completed

Percentages, lots of percentages. Win %, DNF %, Podium %, Pole %, Pole to Win %, and more

We'll also be keeping track of some global stats including things like the total number of races, overall distance travelled, number of championship points earned, champions crowned, among others.

Close observers of the Driver Profile page will see that medals are back. RGL veterans will know that we'd planned a system during 2014 but it never quite came to fruition due to the upkeep of manually updating driver stats AND medals. Well now the new system will be able to keep track of all that information for us and update medal tally's when race results go into the database! Much easier and less maintenance for us admins.

We are also keen to put into place the ability for drivers to update their gamertag/alias when they change and have all records update accordingly, specify whether they want to share their real name on their driver profile page or not, and update their profile image using a small profile backend. Though this is not 100% confirmed at this time, it's a stretch goal for now.

There's also other sections that will feature on the site that I'm not revealing. You'll have to wait until I'm done to see them live, these images are just a teaser. However if you have any ideas for things we should consider tracking, or features you'd like to see, post them up and I'll see what can be done.

Note: These stats are not real, I just used placeholder information for visual reference.
