Yes, that page is sweet because it opens up more fluff & stats than just the teams.

Am I missing something - I think it shows the same data as the team pages, just more of it as there is more than 1 team included?

Any chance of filters on the columns too?

That's tricky... but not impossible. You can click on the headings and sort them though which will have to do for now... and if you just want to see the results of a certain team then you can click the team name and go to that page. So I don't see a filter as being of massive use on the coach page or team page. The first place I will install filters will be the player list screen as there will be a huge number of entries there (at a guess, 500+). Next after that would be the fixture page (potentially 200+).

Be good to be able to upload a pic & bio (optional, of course) too.

This would mean having a whole user login thing going on. I'm resisting that for now (more work, plus it keeps the website easy to use for now) but ultimately will probably have to be done down the line to enable more features like what you suggest, or uploading a match report to the match report page, or to write bios for your players.

No, it's just nice seeing it from another perspective; as opposed to just seeing how well a team is doing, or has done you can now see how a coach is getting on too. Call it the 'Sir Alex Ferguson Page'.

Excellent... one of the aims is to present information in new & interesting ways so glad this has succeeded in this instance

In thanks for your feedback I have "improved" your page

But good work dude - Is there a way of pulling all the historical matches from BBM (when the time comes) or are we going to lose the RTBBL Hall of Fame?

An update on this.

The game stores all the players & team's cumulative stats, so for the standard set of stats we don't need to go back and upload all the files eg to find out which player had scored the most touchdowns. All that is needed is the most recent game featuring that player to be uploaded, and for some clever code to be written to pull it out.

Obviously more games uploaded is better, so you can see the history of things, but I thought this was some good news worth sharing that even if we don't get through them all, we still have these overall numbers.
