(S16) - PT4 - New Day

[SwagSloth]

The biggest thing I would like to see implemented is update automation. And, by that, I mean players would have the ability to log into a database that would allow them to claim TPE and update their player through an automated system rather than a handwritten update. I am seeing similar leagues implement this successfully and would love to see it here. I have been told we would have to move from jcink, which presents its own challenges, but I think it would be worth it in the long run.

As things stand now, this is one of the biggest barriers of entry for the league. In theory, updating is pretty straight forward, but it can be tough to wrap your head around for newer players and may even be putting some people off. We always have a few people join every season only to never update despite logging into the site. Going to an easy to understand, automated platform would be a major step forward for us in terms of accessibility for new users. It would take a lot of work and personally I wish I knew the skills needed to put a system like this in place as I would happily volunteer if I could. If we do ever make this change, the people that can do the work need to be compensated well.
