A web application that facilitates a Magic: The Gathering limited tournament (sealed or draft). Players are randomized, seated, and paired. Match results are recorded, standings may be displayed, etc. Any given user can run (and suspend) multiple tournaments. Requires LDAP for authentication.
- flask-login
- flask-wtf
- flask-sqlalchemy
- ldap3
- requests
You'll need to create a config.py file, which specifies details such as which LDAP
server to use. A sample configuration file can be found at sample_config.py.
Start the server with run.py. By default it will be accessible at localhost:9999. To
make the server world-accessible or for other options, see run.py -h.
If you're having trouble configuring your sever, I wrote a blog post explaining how you can get Flask, uWSGI, and Nginx working together.
- I feel like most of the functions in
models.pyshould have the@propertydecorator.
An older, command-line version of the program can be found in the cli/ directory. It has
most of the same features, but will not be updated in the future and may have undocumented
bugs.
- Pairings can result in multiple byes if bottom-ranked players have already played each other.
- Players can hypothetically achieve multiple byes (if the tournament goes long and they are once again the bottom-ranked player).
Both of these bugs can be mitigated by manually re-pairing players using the "Edit Pairings" function.
More information about byes, tiebreakers, etc. can be found in the Magic: The Gathering Tournament Rules.
