Automated mini cup

Automated mini cup

Tonight saw the our first automated mini cup process takeover the site.

I was as nervous as hell but its all gone smoothly with a few teething problem but that's to be expected.

The new system will automatically start the cups on a friday at 9:30 and on a sunday at 8:30 even if an admin is not present on the site.

The system will also appoint a random admin from the list of members that are online at the time you never know if your here on time it could be you!.

Heres what our first random mini cup admin had to say about the experience.

"At first glance the admin panel seemed fairly straightforward, only taking a couple of minutes to really figure out how everything worked. Even the things that weren't exactly labelled of what they were used for were simple enough to operate, and now with the tweaks given it's been made to not have any gaps of information as such so everything is labelled clearly so anyone can have a good stab at being admin, without getting stuck when faced with one of the tasks you may have to do with it.

We even had a hat added to the person who is the temp admin on shoutbox too, so even if the admin changes at some point, it's better to identify who you need to speak to about problems you're having with the Cups.

I think with the admin panel pretty much complete it'll be a fun chance for anyone to have a shot at what it's like to have a go and run a cup, it should work out nicely, I can't see it needing anything else added at present, maybe we will find out when other people have had their shot at it."

See you all on sunday!

Btw big shout out to m0nkeymafia for teaching me the ways of php ;p
