New Utility: FOF7 Combine Checker

[Ben E Lou]

Using Stelmack's Player Tracker (http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=89515) utility, I've compiled a good-sized set of draftees and put them in a database. I've now created an online utility that will allow you to input the combines of a player and see what sort of player guys with similar combines turned out to be.

FOF7 Combine Checker. (http://www.younglifenorthdekalb.com/fool/ben/combinechecker.php)

It's matching first to the big database (all FOF7, injuries off so less variability) and also to the much-smaller CCFL database (2038-2045 FOF7, and 27 FOF2K7 seasons). The CCFL table will link you to player pages so you can also see those guys' performances. Once FOOL passes CCFL's number of FOF7 seasons (roughly 2 months from now,) I'll link to FOOL instead of CCFL.

BONUS FEATURE FOR THOSE IN CCFL, FOOL, AND WOOF: the Draft Class page now has a "similar player" column that links directly to similar players so you won't have to input their combines.

Enjoy! Let me know if you run into any issues.

Neat stuff!

Is there a way to just check 1 or 2 combines at a time, holding the others irrelevant?

High five, Ben!

[WheelsVT]

That's what I'm talking about Ben! Sweet.

Minor update added: Combine Checker will now display the combines entered in both views of similar players.

Awesome

[aston217]

Minor request: can broad jump be entered in inches instead? Since that's how draft analyzer and the conscriptor both display them. Alternatively something like two entry boxes with one affecting the other via javascript. I can write this if need be.

[Ben E Lou]

Conscriptor uses feet and inches. And it's not like it's difficult to convert it in your head...

[garion333]

Any chance Sole can be the first category instead of Dash? DA and Conscriptor both have it that way. Hurts my brain.*

*Admittedly easy to do some days. Hurt my brain, that is.

Bump. Added more draft classes to the big db.

Seconded with the caveat that my appreciation level will not decrease if the change is not made. :)

FOF's table has Grd/Adj/Dash/Sole/Str/Agil/Brd/Pos/Dev, which is why I have them in that order. (The first two and the last one aren't in the input, but are in the output in that order.) Really DA and Conscriptor should conform to that order. I've long wondered why they don't...

[gstelmack]

It's been so long since I started Draft Analyzer (back to FOF2k4), I can't remember. Maybe I'll change it to FOF's just to confuse people...

[garion333]

Honestly, I assumed it was because Sole is generally the most useless category when drafting. Of course that assumption was made a posteriori. Aaaaand it's an assumption, so you know what that means...

Let's all blame MalcPow for listing it that way in his thread and then Greg followed suit. :lol:

[Ben E Lou]

Added 63 more draft classes. (Thanks to gstelmack for those.) Latest update on the numbers:

Combine Checker is a dead utility at this point. Sorry, bud.
