# DreamRankr 🏆

*Encouraging friendly competition in sports clubs through ranking systems*

## What is DreamRankr?

Ever realized how little you and the others in your sports club actually play against each other? Well I noticed and wanted to encourage more friendly duels, as in my experience it's one of the best ways to improve your skills. So I created DreamRankr!

DreamRankr is a Flask web app that can host multiple ranking lists, where players can challenge each other to rise to the top and foster a more competitive, engaging club environment.

## Features

### 🎯 Ranking Systems

**By Position**
- Players can only challenge those with higher rankings
- Example: Player A (rank 4) can challenge Player B (rank 2), but not vice versa
- Winners move up exactly one rank, regardless of defender's position
- Maintains traditional ladder-style competition

**By Points**
- Rewards active participation and discourages rank camping
- Every match completion = 1 point
- Every match win = +1 additional point (2 total)
- Encourages high-ranked players to keep playing

## Access and Security

**Shared Passwords**
- One shared passwords for read only/viewer permissions
- One shared password for the trainers, who can edit, start and end matches and rankings

**Law and privacy policy**
- Built in privacy policy which can be edited by the trainers via an built in markdown editor (EasyMDE)

## Development Disclosure

As this was my first Flask and Python project, I used AI to learn about the framework and to help create the UI. Nearly all backend logic is human-made (whether that is a good thing is up to you 😊).

The goal was to create a functional, useful tool for sports clubs while learning modern web development practices.
