Dumping Archon, creating a new tournament guiding app?

Hello everyone, I've been reading this forum and I have some ideas that I want to discuss with you. I've been thinking about turning the Archon into a web application since last year, but I think that we could develop a whole website to manage every aspect of the tournament.

First of all, when WoD Berlin ended, Ginés told me that the inscription of the EC was very huge, write down all the personal data from more than 150 players can be really painful. So, I think that apart from reproduce the functions of the Archon, we could use a web for the inscriptions, creating an URL for the players to register and that would save a lot of time. Having access to the database would simplify the inscription process since we could retreive all the data needed from there. Moreover, that would save time when registring a new player because the page would assing a VEKN ID.

Secondly, the results could be validated within the web itself by the NC coordinators and add the scores to the players.

I am studying computer science/engineering right now and with a partner we are thinking about trying to develop that "Archonweb" during the summer if you think that it's a good idea. It would be made with PHP probably, since we don't know any other web language.

Unfortunately, the problem with late arrivals/drops would be there forever if Ankha's algorithm is correct, but I think that right now we should priorize saving time in other aspects of the tournaments.

Thanks to all.

I think we all agree that change and improvement is needed.
I agree with Ankha that players deserve fair games.
Our main focus should be an algorithm to handle early drops and late arrivals when they occurs using the previous rounds as base.
Maybe using the optimal seating and swaping positions until everything works
