chemscribbler / aesopstables

Current repo for aesopstables.net

Program trying to run single sided swiss Netrunner events.

For now to get it started:

install requirements using pip install -r requirements.txt

then run: flask db init flask db migrate flask db upgrade

and then to interface with an environment where the datatables are pre-loaded you can use flask shell

You will still need to import utility functions

Feature ToDos:

• Modernize backend to allow for a better control flow and less tight coupling of frontend to backend
• Enable match slips
• Incorporate first round byes
• Allow user logins to report their specific results
• User overall record tracking/global leaderboard
• Bracket visualization
• New coat of paint

aesopstables's Issues

Pronouns cannot be changed once initially set

TO (and users too, I think) are unable to change their pronouns. As TO, I am able to Edit names and the edit goes life to the Standings page; when I click Edit, the players' pronoun field on their registration page is blank, but other fields are filled in correctly.

pair_round can double assign a bye and a table to the same player

This bug manifested itself in the Frankfurt Startup CO. Where one player would be assigned a bye for the round and also be given a table to play in. Consequently, another player would not appear in the round pairings at all, neither having a game to play nor being noted down as a bye.

Bug was recreated in a test tournament after the tournament (set up with 3 players with the proxy names: p1, p2, p3):

the error is not just visual, p3 ends round 1 with 4 points, 1 from the tie plus 3 from the bye. And p2 ends with 0 points.

I did some preliminary digging into the issue and could find no reason for the error. When I run a mock of bye_setup in my local python setup, it gives me the right output. I will try to get the whole repo working to investigate further when i am back at my home setup.

Hitting Pair Round when prior round is unpaired creates error screen

This error is caused by an uncaught pairing.matchmaking.PairingException: Not all active matches are finished

Allow for Intentional Draws to be indicated

Needs an additional data field in the match
Intentional draws should not show up in the record for a Corp/Runner similar to how byes do show up. They do effect overall side balance. And they also need to be reflected in the json export for the match

Alphabetize Standings before the first round

Wrong apostrophe in decklist check

When pasting in a decklist from either netrunnerdb.com or jinteki.net, it doesn't recognize cards like Tomorrow's Headline due to the apostrophe. After a few tries, I found out that the modifier letter apostrophe ʼ works.

JSON Export Contains Incomplete Top Cut Info

Current top cut json export returns a winner ID which is for the internal cut player database rather than the player id database

Create recommendation for the number of rounds based on player count

Currently I reference the Organized Play Guidelines, but putting it in the UI would probably be good.

Netrunner DB OAuth

Allow users to register with NetrunnerDB instead of creating an account

In small events, top table is frequently mispaired

Hi,

I've been using Aesop's tables for a few events locally, usually between 6-16 players, and we've been experiencing oddities with the late round pairings. Specifically, it seems that the side cost is too strong, leading to graphs that are mathematically sound, but that result in extreme downpairings.

For example, in https://www.aesopstables.net/132/standings in round 6, we see top table paired with bottom table as the edge cost of the middle of the table pairings are sufficiently cheaper such that they get paired up.

We usually don't have a top cut, as this is for a more low-key event, but it has led to some negative experiences, as we expect top two to fight it out, which doesn't seem to happen.

Is there a setting missing somewhere that can force the algorithm to care more about standings than about sides? Even with sides, it still just seems odd that the pairings work out that way.

Could the side preference be made an option instead of set to a default of 8? That seems to be a noticeable part of it. If the small event size is the real issue, are there ways to mitigate it? Thanks!

Match data export to ABR is broken

Allow Decklist Registration

Big feature - allow players to integrate, update (before event starts), and check their decks during the event.
During the cut reveal all cut players decklists

Might be worth setting up integration with NRDB

Change identity selection to be sub-searchable

Ideally people entering their identities should be able to type substrings of the ID and have them highlighted or otherwise made easier to select. Currently Cobra compresses the dropdown to just show matching text. This would be a really nice feature to have. Probably would want to do it against the stripped text so people can type Tao and get Tāo Salonga: Telepresence Magician
