THE ULMG

A Django site for maintaining baseball data for a strat-o-matic league because the Strat software doesn't have useful player management built in.

Features

Rosters

• All owned players imported
• Many unowned players imported from prospect lists, recent stats, and projected stats
• Owners can protect players and add players to various rosters
• Owners can drop players to get their rosters to the appropriate size post-draft

Drafts

• Administrators can run a draft, adding players to teams in real time
• Owners can search for players via the public site with many filters
• Administrators can add new players quickly to keep up with the draft
• Administrators can generate picks for the whole league quickly
• Handles both offseason and midseason drafts

Trades

• Administrators can create trades, moving players and picks between teams in real time
• Owners can see old trades as well as recent trades on the public site
• An owner's roster will update immediately when trades are posted

Quirks about the live site

Caching

• Search is not cached
• The homepage and team pages are cached for 5 minutes
• The admin is not cached

Backups

• The site's data is backed up to the cloud every six (6) hours
• Older data will take longer to reload because of field changes in the database
• Reloading data from a snapshot should be a worst-case scenario

Team pages

• Any owner can see any other owner's page
• This means, technically, an owner could sabotage another team by changing their roster or dropping players
• Implementing per-owner / per-team auth will be quite difficult
• We will rely on owners not to be evil
• We do have http basic auth for the site since we cannot trust the rest of the internet to not be evil
