  General Information

  Project Overview

Tournament Tracker will create and maintain a web site that will display the results of all zone, regional, and provincial tournaments that are sponsored by The Newfoundland and Labrador High School Athletic Federation. This project will be completed with the help and cooperation of Karen Richard of the Athletic Federation.

In September 1997 students from the Computer Technology 3200 class will be organized into groups. Each group will be assigned a sport which they will be responsible for. That group will then contact the federation to get the host schools and contact persons for the zone, regional, and provincial tournaments. The group will then contact those covering the the tournament and request the names of the teams participating and the tournament results.

Each group will organize their data and create web pages to display the results.

Goals:

• to develop in each student the value of working together in small groups towards a major project.
• to demonstrate the use of the internet to display and retrieve data.
