in an ideal world, I would have first built a full UML design of what is
needed, make a complete plan of the software design, used a modular
approach and would not have any problems. Unfortunately this software
was developed under pressure over a period of a few months with a lot of
monkey patching and code repeats. Like the day before a tournament some
committee member cooks up a new format and I have to get up at 3 am to
write the code for it which has to be up and running by 6 am. Anyway, I
have played around with transplant and it is perfect for my needs. In
the long run, I will remove all the hardcoded parts which are specific
to a particular club and the problem will no longer arise. Assuming that
more clubs use the software ;-)
